00:00All right, we have been talking about the Detroit Lions and what happened in that game.
00:05We played one word.
00:08My one word was frustrating for the Lions.
00:11It was frustrating.
00:11If you watched that game, now I said I was going to judge the team after their first four.
00:17So I'm not going to throw the dirt on them yet because I had them going one and three, possibly 0 and 4.
00:24I think you have winnable games on the back end of your schedule, but you cannot, you should not ever lose a game where you're up 21 to 3
00:35and let a team score 30 unanswered points by throwing the ball to one person.
00:41See, Rico, isn't that the problem, my friend?
00:43Even if you did not expect them to win that game yesterday, right?
00:47I'm not sure a lot of people really believed the Lions were going to go to San Diego and beat a very good Chargers team, right?
00:53But don't the expectations change with the more information you have, the better informed your opinion can be?
01:00When you're up 21 to 3, you've got to win that game.
01:04You can't just say, oh, I expected them to lose anyway.
01:07They lost.
01:09Darn it.
01:10No.
01:10It can't happen.
01:1121 to 3 changes your expectation.
01:13That's when you start saying, okay, I think we can do this.
01:16We just caught a break.
01:18We just got to pick six.
01:19Eric Ebron just scored his first touchdown.
01:22Now, we're going to win this thing, and then you don't.
01:27Theo Gridiron said his one word, hopeful.
01:31Hopeful.
01:31That's good for Theo.
01:33Let me get to the phone and bring in Chuck.
01:34How are you doing, Chuck?
01:37Good, man.
01:37How are you?
01:38Good.
01:38How are you?
01:45Okay.
01:45Okay.
01:45Okay.
01:52Yes, he did.
01:53You know how you gave him up, Chuck?
01:55You've got to score.
01:56And that's fine.
02:07But they didn't have, and thanks a lot for the call.
02:09But it's not like the San Diego Chargers had the ball each possession, right?
02:15The Lions offense did get the ball back after San Diego would score points.
02:20So, you've got to stop the bleeding at some point.
02:24And I don't put all this on Matthew Stafford.
02:26Look, I'm a Stafford guy.
02:29He's making it extremely difficult for me.
02:31But I think a lot of this is on the coaching staff.
02:34I think Terrell Austin was exposed yesterday.
02:37He looks a lot better with Ndamukong Suh than without Ndamukong Suh.
02:42And Joe Lombardi doesn't have a clue.
02:46Terrible playbook.
02:47Oh, God.
02:50Horrific play call.
02:52How did you get the ball to Calvin or Golden?
02:56What are you messing around with four running backs for?
02:59I'm going to open up my Pop Rocks.
03:00Well, I thought, yeah, Calvin Johnson's like one of the top ten players in the league.
03:03Can I have one of those?
03:04Pop Rocks?
03:04Yeah.
03:05I mean, you get through three hours today.
03:08And this is going to do it for me.
03:10This is good candy, man.
03:11I want some.
03:12Yeah.
03:12I want some candy.
03:14Give me some candy.
03:15Underrated candy.
03:16Pop Rocks are good, aren't they?
03:18There's like tons of it in Emily's office in promotion.
03:20And then until you got the daylight scared out of you when you were a kid.
03:24Like, you can't drink it with real pop.
03:25It'll kill you.
03:26There you go, Rhino.
03:26No, I'm good doing that.
03:28Come on.
03:28That'll be good for you.
03:29No.
03:29I got my gum.
03:30Look.
03:31Oh, yeah.
03:31How's that smoking?
03:32Doing good, buddy.
03:34Doing good.
03:34I'm in the hallway just now.
03:36Probably good morning or good afternoon or whatever.
03:37Yeah.
03:38You saw me in the hallway.
03:39You thought I was going to have one.
03:40No.
03:40So I see Hermione in the hallway and I go, hey, how's that smoking thing going?
03:43You're like, great.
03:44I'm like, you haven't had one?
03:45And you're like, well, a couple a day.
03:46I'm like, come.
03:47How does it work?
03:48I don't understand.
03:49Explain it.
03:50Are you making progress by only having a couple?
03:52You know what?
03:53I think a lot of it is just a habit of it.
03:55You know?
03:56The other day, I didn't have any.
03:58Then the next day, I had two.
04:01You know?
04:01Just out of the habit.
04:02I feel like I don't even need it anymore.
04:04Just a habit.
04:05Right.
04:06You know?
04:07All right.
04:08Just what it is.
04:09I'm proud of you if you're making progress.
04:10I just don't know what real progress is.
04:12Like, does it, you know, texters.
04:16Hook me up here.
04:1851051.
04:19Is Ryan making progress by only having a couple of cigarettes?
04:22Well, look.
04:22Everybody does this differently.
04:24I mean, everybody.
04:25You know?
04:25I don't know the rules.
04:26I don't know how it works.
04:27I'm going cold turkey, right?
04:29No, you're not.
04:30Well, isn't cold turkey zero?
04:31Okay, fine.
04:33But you guys can say whatever you want.
04:35I'm proud of myself.
04:36I'm a packet smoker a day.
04:38Now you're doing a couple.
04:40And just because I'm an ass, right?
04:43I mean, I don't...
04:44Well, you're an ass.
04:45I don't know what the ass is.
04:46No, you're not.
04:47You're an ass.
04:47Well, look.
04:48You're a fine young man.
04:50You know, two cigarettes a day.
04:53Just out of pure boredom or habit of it.
04:56Right.
04:56You know?
04:57I'm cool with that.
04:58The other day I had zero.
04:59You know?
05:00Yesterday I had two.
05:01We'll see how many I have today.
05:03Maybe none.
05:04I'm fine.
05:04You didn't start it over...
05:07Well, you did start it overnight.
05:08But, you know, you...
05:09Damn.
05:10So long as you're weaning yourself off...
05:12Hey, look.
05:13I'm cool with that.
05:14Because eventually you'll get to it...
05:15Everybody, as you say, you do it differently.
05:17I told you.
05:18Right.
05:18If you can quit cold turkey, I know people will have.
05:21Fine.
05:21You know?
05:22I think you're doing it big, Dan.
05:24I am doing it big.
05:26You try to quit smoking.
05:27It ain't easy.
05:28No.
05:29Pimping ain't easy.
05:30No.
05:30You know?
05:31Nobody cares about my smoking, though.
05:33Rico.
05:34Can I start with you?
05:35Yeah.
05:36Congratulations, man.
05:37That's a big-time win Saturday night.
05:39That's a big-time win Saturday night.
05:45Nobody wants to talk about it.
05:46Nobody really cares.
05:47I feel really sorry for Spartan fans because they've got...
05:51And I'm going to say it.
05:52They've got an elite football program up there.
05:55That's an elite program.
05:56And no...
05:57They struggled against Western Michigan.
05:59They only beat him at 13.
06:01I just want to congratulate you.
06:03That's all.
06:04I appreciate it.
06:05Absolutely.
06:05That was a big-time win Saturday night.
06:07Big time.
06:08It is.
06:08And you know what?
06:10The goal line stop was huge.
06:12The defense stepping up.
06:14Getting the second and third down beforehand.
06:15And Vernon Adams is scary, man.
06:17He's scary good.
06:18People are like, oh, he's not that good.
06:19He's a D3 quarter.
06:21You're just haters.
06:23Just haters.
06:23Put it this way.
06:24They just beat Oregon.
06:25Oregon plays for national titles every year.
06:28But, Deez, Oregon had 400 yards of offense.
06:31Oh, please.
06:32They won.
06:34In the last couple of years, they beat Baylor, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, Georgia.
06:39Cut it out.
06:40TCU?
06:41TCU.
06:42No, not TCU.
06:42It didn't beat TCU.
06:43Michigan State beat TCU.
06:44Oh, yeah.
06:44TCU.
06:46Let's give Michigan State some credit.
06:48I'm just glad that Vernon Adams...
06:49I just wanted to congratulate you during crosstalk.
06:51I'm glad he picked that one play to throw a bad throw because that receiver was wide.
06:56He also threw a ball left-handed.
06:58That kid's pretty good.
06:59He's quarterbacking at Oregon.
07:01He's pretty good.
07:02Ryan is just sitting there.
07:03He's not saying a word.
07:05Come on, Ryan.
07:05He can't give Spartans a little love.
07:07What did I say today?
07:08I missed it.
07:09I said they were special.
07:10Michigan State football program is special.
07:12Come on, man.
07:13That's what I'm talking about right now.
07:15The sun is shining.
07:15It's a Monday.
07:16I don't need to go overboard and blow them.
07:19But if you want to know my honest opinion, Michigan State is a special football program.
07:33Wow.
07:34Ryan.
07:34Period.
07:35Hey, big win for Michigan, Saturday.
07:37I think that's a great win for Michigan.
07:39And I don't care who they play and everybody can poo-poo Oregon State.
07:42They suck this, that, and the other thing.
07:43That was a great win for Michigan.
07:45It's a good win.
07:46When you don't have it.
07:47Because they put them away.
07:47I like that.
07:48That I like.
07:49That I do like.
07:50I didn't play around with them.
07:51I saw a lot of toughness in the Michigan Wolverines.
07:53Yep.
07:54Absolutely.
07:55You crushed their hopes and dreams.
07:56Good to see Derek Green out there.
07:58He played?
07:59He did.
08:00Yeah.
08:00He was running hard.
08:01He's so bad.
08:02He was running hard.
08:03I missed the end of the game.
08:05Did Morris get any mop-up duty?
08:08I don't think he did.
08:09No.
08:09I don't think so.
08:10I don't think he did either.
08:11I thought maybe they would have got him in for mop-up.
08:14Because I started watching the Auburn game.
08:16Once I thought the Michigan game was in.
08:18I'm like.
08:18Once it hit late Saturday afternoon.
08:20I'm like.
08:20You know what?
08:21Took my daughter and her friend.
08:22And my son to David Buster's.
08:24I'm like.
08:25We're getting out of here.
08:26A little D&B.
08:26We're getting out of here.
08:28So how about them Leos?
08:30All right.
08:32Devastating.
08:32Well.
08:32You know.
08:34I woke up today.
08:36I'm like seven something.
08:37And I'm like.
08:38All right.
08:38I'm going to see what these two jackasses are going to do.
08:41My kids are in the car, man.
08:42Oh, yeah.
08:44And you two.
08:45Oh, my God.
08:46Guys, it's one game.
08:47It's not.
08:48Yes, it is.
08:49Come on.
08:49You didn't really think they were going to win, did you?
08:51No, no.
08:51Yeah, I did.
08:52Did you really get that sucked in?
08:54I didn't.
08:54He did.
08:55He had them at 7-1.
08:55You have them at 0-16, Rico.
08:57Please.
08:58No, no.
08:58I said this first four games were going to be difficult, but they had games that they
09:02could win on the back end.
09:04But things change once you go up 21-3.
09:08Once Eric Ebron scores, you get a pick six.
09:12San Diego couldn't.
09:14They throw a pick in the red zone.
09:16They couldn't get out of their own way.
09:17All you had to do was finish them.
09:1921-3.
09:20You finish them off.
09:21You get a good victory on the road against a team probably going to be in the playoff.
09:26But instead, they just had a meltdown.
09:29They couldn't do anything right, and they got beat by one guy.
09:35Well, no.
09:35Not just one guy.
09:37I think you guys are third and 19.
09:39You give up 20.
09:41When did Keenan Allen become Jerry Rice?
09:43Let's step up to the hope and fear buffet.
09:46Let's do it.
09:47When did Keenan Allen become Jerry Rice?
09:48Okay, you be the hope.
09:50I'll be the fear.
09:51No, I'm scared as hell.
09:52I think they're going to.
09:53First of all, you're right, Rico.
09:55Keenan Allen is good.
09:55He's not this good.
09:57But number two.
09:58I think they're going to start the season 1-3.
10:01And I don't have a problem with them.
10:02Who are they going to beat?
10:04The Broncos.
10:05At home on Sunday night.
10:07They face a really good defense against the Ravens.
10:09I think they're going to come home and play three straight home games.
10:11Get back on track.
10:13Remember last year when the Patriots started 2-2 and everyone went,
10:15Oh, it's over for the Patriots!
10:18And then the Seahawks started 2-2.
10:203-3.
10:21Oh!
10:21Big difference.
10:22Remember that run with Seattle?
10:24It's over.
10:24Oh, it's so cute.
10:26Trademark.
10:27March on Litch.
10:27Right?
10:28Happened with Green Bay.
10:29Big difference between all those three teams.
10:31They all got hardware.
10:33Lions have none.
10:34I'm telling you that I don't like what I saw yesterday.
10:37Of course.
10:38I can't get here and put lipstick on that piece of pork.
10:41And you are listening to WMGC-FMHD1 Detroit.
10:44But I'm here to say that I want to pump the brakes on the Seasons Over Skies falling routine.
10:52I have to.
10:53I have to come in here and calm the two of you down.
10:55You know what?
10:56I really believe that.
10:57I had them at either 1-3 or 0-4.
11:00I did.
11:01But it was how you lost was disheartening.
11:04I mean...
11:04It was how it happened.
11:06If they would have went back and forth and lost on a last-second play or field...
11:10What did you expect with DeAndre Levy not there?
11:12You expected that he was Josh Bynes?
11:14Josh Bynes played probably the best defense...
11:18Wait a minute.
11:20Josh Bynes was probably the best defensive player on the field.
11:24Where was Haloti?
11:25No, Glover Quinn.
11:25Okay, Glover Quinn.
11:26Where was Haloti freaking nada?
11:28He played?
11:29That's what I'm saying.
11:30I had no idea.
11:30Where was Calvin Johnson?
11:32Calvin.
11:33Okay, so let me just say this to you, Matt.
11:35Step right up to the Hope and Fear Buffet.
11:37The reason why I'm so fearful that this season is going to go down the tubes and go down the tubes fast...
11:45...is because I'm not sure I believe in the coaching staff.
11:48And by coaching staff, I'm talking about Terrell Austin and I'm talking about Joe Lombardi.
11:52Terrell Austin, the genius defensive coordinator from a year ago?
11:56Yes.
11:57So they have a bad game in San Diego where it's hot and their defense can't get off the field...
12:01...because the golden boy, number nine.
12:03I can't wait for year seven.
12:07Can't sustain a drive.
12:08I'm giving the defense a pass.
12:10I'm sorry, Matt.
12:11How in the world Terrell Austin couldn't get help for Rasheen Mathis to guard against Keenan Allen?
12:17How he can't make adjustments at halftime?
12:20I will never understand.
12:21They weren't pressuring the quarterback.
12:23Got zero push up there.
12:24Now, you know, I heard all offseason long.
12:27If you could have one guy back, who would it be?
12:30In Dalekin Sioux or Terrell Austin?
12:32Oh, don't listen to those people.
12:33Oh, we've got to get Terrell Austin back!
12:36Come on.
12:36We've got to get Austin back!
12:38No, no, no.
12:40Okay, what about the play calling?
12:43Terrible.
12:43Joe Lombardi.
12:44Oh, horrible.
12:45Joe Lombardi needs some work.
12:46Horrible.
12:47Big time.
12:47I'm concerned.
12:48That is a concern that I think is extremely accurate.
12:52You're right about that.
12:52Jim Caldwell should take over the play calling duties.
12:54Could you imagine?
12:55He should.
12:56One game in, they're going to do that?
12:57Hey, look at what they did against Texas Longhorns.
13:01You have too much talent on this team.
13:06You do.
13:07You can't let somebody go 30 unanswered points, and you can't match them point for point.
13:12If they lost at the last second field goal, yeah, I expected them to lose the game, but
13:17at least you can feel good in saying they went out there and they were competitive.
13:21They weren't.
13:22They made zero adjustments.
13:24San Diego was out there playing chess.
13:26The Lions were playing marbles.
13:28Okay, here's the problem.
13:29If you're going to win, like legitimately, forget about winning games, I'm talking about
13:35winning and contending championships and playoffs and all this stuff, dude, you've got to score
13:41points.
13:43This offense is to the point where they should be a top five offense in the NFL.
13:48That's what we're sold.
13:50That's the kind of talent they have over there.
13:53And if you're not doing anything with that, I'm sorry.
13:57You're going to be 6-10.
13:58If you don't score 28 points a game, you're going to be 6-10.
14:01In that offense, you should be able to score one touchdown in court.
14:05How do you not play the ball?
14:09The way the game started and how they were moving the football, and with the addition
14:13of Amir Guapo.
14:15Amir Abdullah.
14:16Yes.
14:17There is enough talent.
14:18Give me enough of this four running back thing.
14:20I don't need to see any of them.
14:21Right.
14:22I don't need to see any of them.
14:22One guy.
14:22Well, Zach Seder had a couple of carries.
14:25But to me...
14:25Okay, that could be a different thing.
14:27With Joe Lombardi, the problem is, and this is what happened last year, something works,
14:31they never run it again.
14:33It makes no sense to me.
14:35I don't remember what game it was.
14:36Maybe the London game against Atlanta.
14:38First half, it's snap the ball and quick outs to Golden Tate, and he's beating his man
14:43every time.
14:44Second half, they never run it.
14:46Yesterday, they run that swing pass to Amir Abdullah on the bad snap by Stafford.
14:51It works.
14:52Damn it, you run that again until they stop it.
14:55I'm with you.
14:56Treat it like a video game.
14:57The Calvin catch for 28 yards in the first quarter.
15:00Or a quarter, as Spiro Didis on the NFL and CBS on the Colts game yesterday said.
15:05Spiro Didis.
15:06Quarter.
15:06Quarter.
15:06He's from New York.
15:07They don't say quarter.
15:08They say quarter.
15:09But like, first quarter, they throw it to Calvin on the slant.
15:14Kind of a deeper slant.
15:1528 yards.
15:16Where is that?
15:17You know what the Chargers did?
15:18They ran Keenan Allen on the crossing route, and they kept running it.
15:22Frank Reich went, that worked.
15:24How about again?
15:25And again.
15:26And again.
15:27And on third and 19.
15:28Until they stop it.
15:30It's like that Oprah video.
15:32Who wants another one?
15:33And you and you.
15:34You get a guard.
15:35You get a pass.
15:36You get a pass.
15:36Right.
15:37You get a pass.
15:38Keep this going.
15:39Dude, if it works, would Joe Lombardi run it again?
15:42Why don't they run it again?
15:43They outsmart themselves.
15:45Or they outthink themselves.
15:46And that's the problem.
15:47Now, that's what's so frustrating, because how do you only, how does Calvin Johnson and
15:53Golden Tate, arguably two of the best wide receivers, on the same team, and they get
15:59six catches?
16:00Six?
16:00You know what that game looked like, and this is going to be an overstatement, but I wouldn't
16:05be mad at somebody who called in today and said, you know what, Calvin Johnson looks
16:09old, and Haloti Nata looks old.
16:12I said Haloti Nata looks old.
16:13You know, he looked his age.
16:15He just looked.
16:17I'm going to give him a pass for one game, because he hasn't played in the preseason,
16:20but that's the way it's going to look, and you're a replacement for Sue, that's not a
16:23good look.
16:23No.
16:24But, yeah, I mean, first game, I'm going to give him a pass.
16:26No, I'm not.
16:27He hasn't played.
16:28He hasn't played.
16:28And I'm not.
16:28I'm giving him a pass.
16:29I agree.
16:30I'm not giving James E. Heddyball a pass.
16:31He was brutal.
16:32But, listen to me.
16:34I'm not saying that they look old, but if somebody called in and said, those guys look
16:38old, I can understand why.
16:40They look good.
16:42Dees, you're going to have some fun today, buddy.
16:43All right.
16:44All right.
16:44CrossFit brought you by Autolab.
16:46Do you have an Autolab technician?
16:49We'll get to start to mass.
16:50Yeah, I don't know where mass is.
16:52Mass is down the hall.
16:52He's working.
16:53He's working.
16:53All right.
16:54There's Ryan Enrico, by the way.
16:56Weekday mornings now, 8 to noon, as these guys get their stuff together.
17:01Every day now, again, they're going four hours.
17:03Look, let's complete this thing.
