00:00All right, so I I had a visceral reaction to when I looked down and read some of these texts
00:05Yes, you did
00:07Thought you were upset with me
00:08Colin in ann arbor writes holmes has a great track record in the draft and sure he's made a few decent free agent signings
00:15But I can't think of a decent trade he's made. Maybe this isn't where he's strong
00:22He traded matt stafford
00:25Stafford
00:26to the rams
00:28for an mvp
00:29caliber quarterback
00:31two firsts and a third
00:36And you can't think of a decent trade he's made
00:39Maybe you forgot that one
00:41The one that set them up
00:43for the successful run
00:45That if they win a super bowl is probably the moment that kick-started the rebuild
00:52Was that a decent trade
00:55When he traded back in the draft and still got jameer gibbs
01:03Was that a decent trade
01:07I mean the trades he made on draft day
01:10He does a lot of moving on draft day. I haven't been terribly upset with that
01:15He was on the job for two weeks
01:18Two weeks
01:20Not even well, it was just barely two weeks before he had to make the stafford trade staff was traded on january 30th
01:26Holmes was hired on january 14th
01:28So literally two weeks later. He had to trade stafford
01:32I I don't get that. I think what what it is is people
01:37Were upset last year at the trade deadline that they didn't make a move for a for a defensive end or an edge rusher
01:44That's what they were of course they are they're still complaining about it to this day exactly
01:48But I think that's what it is and they they forget about everything else that's happened
01:52Maybe he's had a free agent signing here or there. I mean
01:55You can see you can argue this free agents the free agency's brought in have not been great
02:00I think he's been a lot of hit a lot of miss. I think you can argue that he doesn't bat a thousand
02:03No, you know, well certainly not and I think the free agent route we saw that when he first got here
02:08The the wide receivers he brought in did nothing for the team
02:11It's kind of been an achilles heel a little bit but at the same time
02:16You know, he's he's also picked up tim patrick off the scrap heap and that that seems to have worked out he traded for
02:22uh, josh reynolds
02:24That worked out and we know he can draft. He signed josh reynolds. Sorry sign. Yeah, he signed josh reynolds off the street
02:30But it was dory right off the street like a trade deadline thing though
02:33right in the middle of the season, I guess is what I was saying, so
02:37yeah, I
02:39I think this is a reaction to what happened last year
02:42uh, then there's this
02:44Coming to the karshan anderson bach guys brad holmes needs to get a deal done asap
02:49Quote, this is from a texter. It's gross negligence on his part that nothing has happened yet. This is ridiculous
02:58It's not ridiculous. It's ridiculous. I I would say that
03:03and even if even if uh
03:06Let's say nobody has moved at the trade deadline
03:09If there are no edge rushers moved in the national football, they get the trade deadline
03:13I would go into that camp and say it's ridiculous
03:15You need to make something happen because I think this team desperately needs to make something happen if they had aden hutchinson
03:22You could convince me otherwise, but they don't
03:26They don't have marcus davenport. And now they don't have aden hutchinson. They don't have an edge rusher that creates pressure
03:33But i'm not going to fly off the handle until we get to tuesday at the deadline and it passes and the lions don't pick
03:38Somebody up if they don't pick somebody up
03:40Then i'm not going to be happy about it. I think you're you're putting you're putting a super bowl caliber team at risk
03:47Of not getting there if you don't do something, but you can't say it now
03:52From a strategic standpoint, it's gross negligence that it hasn't happened yet. According to this. That's what i'm saying
03:57You can't say that right yet, you know, they got they won the game last week
04:02They won last week but without making a move
04:04They won the week before without making a move. I mean look they and sure this is a bigger game
04:09And it'd be cool to have somebody
04:11But you're not going to win every game. They're not winning every game from here on first of all prepare yourself for that
04:16When I see the term gross negligence
04:19To me, that's a fireable offense
04:21Which if you're if your team does something that's quote gross negligence now, maybe he doesn't look at it
04:26Like use that term with that kind of weight
04:29but
04:30How about this one brad holmes won't make a deal because he's arrogant and he thinks his guys will step up so they don't need
04:36Help just like last year
04:41Do we have a good football team here
04:44Yes, but fans want to add to that team for this year. That's okay
04:48but gross negligence arrogant
04:51like why are we calling the best gm we've ever had using these terms when
04:57You haven't seen him even what he's gonna do yet. Well, that's that's the thing
05:01It's the preemptive strike and it's don't do the preemptive strike. It's it's unnecessary
05:07Tuesday you can save save your vitriol for for wednesday's show if they don't do anything right, but but but
05:14the amount of competence this guy's operated with
05:18To go straight to gross negligence and arrogant and not give him the benefit of the doubt
05:23Is is absurd but they're forming an opinion on what what could happen
05:28All right, I wouldn't look too much at the asap stuff
05:32I know but you're reading it literally and I get it
05:34Okay, but if you were to get these people in a cross examination and say what if they wait till tuesday
05:40Are you okay if they make a move tuesday and then they would say yes, okay
05:44so
05:45Go under the assumption that it's nothing happens. I mean, I mean fair enough
05:49This guy literally has said the words are it hasn't happened yet. It's gross negligence. Nothing
05:54Well, you can't do something now because it's thursday
05:56I mean you can I suppose but you're not likely to add a player
05:59We're not going to see a whole lot. I don't imagine we're going to see any players traded
06:03until monday at this point
06:06Because teams are in in prep work for the games on sunday
06:08Now if you're expecting max crosby and it's gross negligence
06:11If you don't get it, then you're going to think he is gross negligence because they're probably not getting max crosby
06:16And they're probably not getting miles garrett
06:19They're not getting miles. Yeah, I mean I I and they're not getting max crosby. Neither player is available
06:24I think that just speaks to how frustrated fans are doug
06:27and I know you're reading it literally and
06:29I think gator's more right than wrong as far as if they make a trade at least that's before the trade deadline
06:34Those fans will calm the f down. They will right now. They're enraged because
06:39Maybe they want that guy here now
06:40So we get you know more acclimated with the system with his teammates the coaching staff all that stuff beat green bay
06:46Yeah, yeah, exactly
06:48I mean i'm not gonna say
06:50I mean, obviously you don't think it's criminal if brad holmes doesn't make a trade
06:53But should it be thrown in jail if he doesn't make a trade guys? That's no of course not but I think they'll calm the f
06:59down
07:00But there's a caveat to that
07:02If they make a trade and it's somebody who you think is of no consequence
07:06Like if they just add like an isaiah thomas type player if that's the trade that's made something like that
07:12Then I think fans will freak out again
07:15But if they if they were to add a trey hendrickson everyone's going to calm down if it's a derry smith
07:19People calm down khalil mac people calm down
07:22but if it's arden key
07:26I mean some will calm down because of the recency bias of what he did to the lions
07:30But in his career, he hasn't been special if it's j'davin clowney
07:34yeah, i'm not going to be thrilled if it's j'davin clowney because he can't play the run and
07:38He really hasn't ever been a great pass rusher in the league, but i'd be happier, but is it better than nothing?
07:44Because I think I think because right now they started muhammad from someone else's practice squad
07:52That's what they started last week
