What do you make of this Detroit Lions team through five games this season?

Well, like with most NFL teams right now, it's still, you know, it's a small sample size, and you think you have enough.

It's still hard to tell just because of injuries, and everyone fights the injury bug.

I understand.

I mean, Green Bay's been fighting it since day one as well as the Lions.

There's other teams around the league.

You see the Rams going to get, you know, Miles Garrett, and they can't keep him on the field.

How much improvement could that defense make or fans hope to see from that defense during the season?

If President Rubick was delivering a speech at Ford Field, what's the short version of the state of the Lions?

Well, the Lions are pretty much like the rest of the NFL right now.

It's every team you watch, you think, "Okay, this is a really good team." Like, you think the Cowboys are gonna roll over a Bakerless Tampa last night, and Tampa just manhandled them.

You saw Atlanta step up a couple weeks, you know, beat Green Bay and, you know, then they get another big win where they just roll all over the opponent.

So it's, it's week to week.

There's no dominant teams, and even the Rams, because of a few injuries, aren't what we thought they were gonna be this year.

But the Lions do have issues.

Yeah

Vaki.

Vaki.

Yeah, Vaki.

You know, he's all right, but they don't, they don't use him like they used Monte.

And I don't know if they plan on using the kid from Kansas City like that, Pacheco, a- a- but he hasn't played.

So they, they got...

I think they're wearing Gibbs down a little bit, and they have... you know, and I, I don't think Isaac, uh...

I just don't know.

Vaki

Vaki, yeah, Vaki.

You know, he's all right, but they don't, they don't use him like they used Monte, and I don't know if they plan on using the kid from Kansas City like that, Pachenko, i- i- but he hasn't played.

So they, they got...

I think they're wearing Gibbs down a little bit, and they have, you know, and I, I don't think Isaac, uh, I don't think, uh, Tesla has performed like they thought he would.

I think he has a hard time.

I don't think he's a great route runner.

I just don't know.

Yeah, national broadcast.

Shep, and I didn't hear...

I, I read it, I read what he was saying.

I didn't get to hear him.

Was there any accountability on his part? Because here's the deal.

People, I don't care who you are, where you come from, what's your background, 95% of people, when you're dealing with someone, if they're accountable, we're usually pretty okay.

We'll give them th- we'll give them more rope.

Mm-hmm.
