00:00Now, they are really good, I think, offensively.
00:04I think they are legit.
00:06I don't deny Aaron Glenn's defense either.
00:08They seem to step up, but they got their hands full tomorrow night.
00:14They are going to have their hands full tomorrow night, and yes, we decided, I know for people
00:18just checking in, we decreed here on Coast to Coast a while ago that once the Super Bowls
00:25started reaching the 50s, as in Super Bowl 50 and on, any championships before Super
00:31Bowl I don't matter anymore.
00:33So anything that happened in the 50s and 40s and 30s, all those NFL titles, they are off
00:38the board.
00:39We have reached 50 Super Bowls.
00:40The Super Bowl is all that matters.
00:42They should just basically mean like you never won a championship at this point.
00:45But yes, the Detroit fans are starved for a football championship.
00:51Dan Campbell is hoping to bring that to them.
00:54It is unique, and I go back to, look, it was one of the, it's one of the things that
00:57was, I go back to this, it was one of the things that for somebody like me was appealing
01:02about playing here, wanting to play here, and coach here.
01:06This is a sleeping giant for football.
01:08And they, you know, Pistons have had success, Red Wings have had success, but the Lions
01:13have never had success.
01:14And just to be able to unlock everything, you know, this is a sports town, and for every
01:24body to feel like they're a part of it, like, man, this is, this is our team, and they represent,
01:32they represent us, you know, and what they're about and the way they play, we can, we can
01:35stand behind that.
01:37Listen, there's no denying that they're passionate and they're starved for a championship, but
01:44let's face facts.
01:45The Red Wings are the best team that the city's ever known.
01:49That's just all there is to it.
01:50The Pistons did great a couple times.
01:53The Tigers were great once.
01:56And all I know is the Lions have never done it.
02:00They've never done it.
02:01Let's face facts.
02:02Michigan football is 10 times bigger in Ann Arbor, an hour north, is 10 times bigger than
02:09all of them, than every team.
02:11Every pro team in Detroit can't hold a candle to the Michigan Wolverines in football.
02:17And they don't even care about Michigan basketball, believe me, in Detroit.
02:20They don't.
02:21They don't care about it.
02:22And then they had the Fab Five, but that was it.
02:25Let's face facts.
02:26I mean, I've been to more Stanley Cup finals in Detroit than I have anything else.
02:31The Red Wings are the toast, even though no one at the end of the day cares about hockey.
02:38We joke all the time how much we love, everybody loves hockey, but no one really gives a rat's
02:42ass about it.
02:43But they are the best team in Detroit.
02:44They always have been.
02:47It is a hockey town for a reason, I suppose.
02:51Yeah.
02:52A hockey town.
02:53They love all that.
02:54The hockey town talk.
02:55They got cups.
02:56That they do there.
02:57They got cups.
02:58They do have that.
02:59They have got cups in Detroit.
03:00Like this conversation that Gabe and I had the other day about championships, like I'm
03:05not from that side of the river that they don't mean anything.
03:08Like once all that time has passed, you know, bullshack, no one ever forgets championships.
03:17What they forget is the losses that those are the ones that drive them nuts, that they
03:22don't finish.
03:23Like, you know, I don't think the Red Wings liked 08 or 09 when the Penguins beat them
03:27in seven at Joe Lewis.
03:29All I know is they remember titles in every city.
03:33In Miami, they still toast the 72 Dolphins every year.
03:38That's all they have to live on.
03:39They have nothing.
03:40The Miami Canes won five national championships.
03:43That's all they hang their hat on.
03:44That's all they have.
03:46I mean, they'll never, it'll never change.
03:47The Steelers six, the Penguins five, the Pirates two.
03:51That's all they hang their hat on.
03:52That's it.
03:53It's that simple.
03:55It is that simple.
03:56Of course, on the other side, we have the Washington Commanders.
04:00What a year.
04:01First year, Dan Quinn and Jaden Daniels in town for them.
04:05But Quinn knows this is going to be a challenge against this Lion offense on Saturday night.
04:10They've had a fantastic year, just utilizing guys in different ways.
04:14The production, I think, is what just absolutely jumps out to you for different players.
04:19And so, sometimes you may see one player just absolutely off the charts.
04:24But when it's spread, you know, so much, that's a big difference.
04:28And that's what makes their offense, you know, such a unique challenge.
04:33I don't think they have enough weapons to go, you know, on some toe-to-toe banger with
04:38them all night.
04:39You know, J.F. McLaurin, to me, is the man.
04:42And then, you know, Ross St. Brown, it goes on and on with the, you know, Laporta.
04:48They have all these other guys, Gibbs, that produce at a high level.
04:53I think this is going to actually be the one game that's the, you know, the track meet.
04:57I think this is going to be a track meet.
04:59I do.
05:00I don't think there's going to be any stopping either one of them.
05:02But Jaden Daniels is going to score.
05:04And I think Detroit, obviously, is going to score more.
05:08And the Commanders somehow stay within that nine and a half.
05:12Yeah.
05:13And look, you're also, you talk about track meet, obviously, the totals telling you that.
05:18But this is also the two of the top five coaches that go for it the most on fourth down.
05:24And these are two of the top five teams that have punted the least in the NFL this year.
05:30So they do not like to give the football away.
05:32They want to keep the ball.
05:34This was eight and a half yesterday.
05:35We're back up to nine and a half here today with a 55 and a half.
05:39I'm going to run out of time here.
05:40I have some numbers for you about the total that I will give you on the other side.
05:44Well, I want to see that.
05:46But I've always been on the nine and a half with the Commanders, and it's very dangerous.
05:51I don't deny with that offense of the Lions, I think the key for the Commanders in my book
05:57is that they get out, get the ball, score first.
