FIREWORKS: Can Bills & Lions DEFENSES Survive as Josh Allen, Jared Goff Lead High-Powered Offenses?
M
10:25Matt DerryHOST
Isaiah Pacheco's out until December.
M
10:27Matt DerryHOST
Sione Vaki, who I know you know from your draft stuff, was, was a DB in college that can run a little bit but hasn't really played much.
M
10:34Matt DerryHOST
And Jacob Sailors is a UFL guy that has played well in the preseason, but that's a different ballgame when you're playing at Highmark on a Thursday night in front of the entire national audience.
M
10:43Matt DerryHOST
So we'll see.
Week 2 is Coming prep continues; Walker, Jeanty, and More [Footballguys Daily Update 9/16]
B
6:58Bob HarrisHOST
I don't know that it will be Kareem Hunt, but he did work out for the team recently.
B
7:02Bob HarrisHOST
I can see, though, the Lions hand- landing a free agent at some point, uh, that they have a little more confidence in than Vaki.

Pro football is back, and so are the predictions.

Waiver Wired - Pete Nova has the best fantasy adds for Week 2
P
45:31Pete NovaHOST
Uh, so I expect Kamara to come back.
P
45:33Pete NovaHOST
Uh, Zion Vaki, uh, of the Lions, uh, not saying he's for sure the handcuff, uh, to own, uh, but he did get 30% of the play time to Gibbs' 72%.
P
45:45Pete NovaHOST
He was the only other running back to get play time.
P
45:48Pete NovaHOST
Uh, two attempts, seven yards, uh, also had a target, one catch, 11 yards.
P
46:18Pete NovaHOST
I think I saw 12 weeks.
P
46:19Pete NovaHOST
I'd have to verify that.
P
46:20Pete NovaHOST
But it looks like Pacheco's gonna miss more time than we did expect, so, uh, not a bad idea to toss a flyer out on Vaki.
P
46:28Pete NovaHOST
Um, everybody that I'm gonna be naming here, I think 0 to 2% FAB is, is totally fine, uh, to spend.
Cashing Out | September 15, 2026 | Hour 1
D
23:09Dustin SwedelsonHOST
So I don't really understand the moderation thing, and I don't think Dan Campbell's gonna understand it for Jahmyr Gibbs.
D
23:14Dustin SwedelsonHOST
They need him, because this offense needs to run through him, and behind him there's a lot of inexperience and not a lot of dynamic play-making with Vaki and Jacob Sailors as your RB two and three this year.
D
23:27Dustin SwedelsonHOST
However, for the matchup with Buffalo, I, I, I lean over 54 and a half, but I love Detroit.
D
23:32Dustin SwedelsonHOST
You have a first-year head coach in Joe Brady who's never done this before.
What to do about the defense? Bills-Lions prep - Episode 06
J
41:25Joe BuscagliaHOST
Like, who? He doesn't come off the field.
J
41:27Joe BuscagliaHOST
What, he, how, how often did he come off the field for Sione Vaki? Like, what was it, like a handful of snaps?
C
41:33Carl JonesGUEST
Mm.
J
41:33Joe BuscagliaHOST
Like, he's gonna get 40 touches if, if they're not careful.

S
8:28Scott ReichelHOST
At the same point, though, he's your bell cow back obviously, and you ran him to death in week one off overtime as well.
S
8:36Scott ReichelHOST
I can see a little bit more Vaki.
S
8:39Scott ReichelHOST
I can see maybe just a bit more passing plays because the Bills' secondary got torched by C.J. Stroud in week one.
S
8:46Scott ReichelHOST
Against the run, they weren't that bad.
OBL 9/16: Fitz And Whit, O'Cyrus Torrence, Dan Orlovsky, And Lomas Brown Ahead Of Lions-Bills!
C
38:54Chris BrownHOST
And, Lomas, I know that they signed Isaiah Pacheco in the offseason to try to be his complementary back, but he's injured right now and on IR.
C
39:04Chris BrownHOST
And they've got a couple of young guys behind him in Sione Vaki and Jacob Saylors.
C
39:10Chris BrownHOST
I don't know if the offensive staff fully trusts them yet to give them, you know, maybe the 8 to 10 carries that they were planning to give Pacheco as a complimentary back.
C
39:20Chris BrownHOST
So how are they going to square that going forward here after seeing very little of those two guys this past week?
Dynasty Think Tank (Episode 172): Week 1 Reaction, Carson Wentz, A.J. Brown fallout, Isiah Pacheco Injury and Trades
C
10:19Chad ParsonsHOST
this could be a season shutdown if there's any sort of setback here.
C
10:23Chad ParsonsHOST
But, yeah, our boy Sione Vaki, we saw – him, you know, Jacob sailors like on special teams.
C
10:31Chad ParsonsHOST
And again, we don't require mandate need to see Vaki out in a meaningful role on offense, but let's be fair.
C
10:38Chad ParsonsHOST
They also probably don't want to give 450 touches to Jameer Gibbs.
Daily DLP: Lions keys to victory vs Bills in Week 2
S
17:56speaker_4ADVERTISER
we'll see.
J
17:59Jeff RisdonHOST
This is a game where if Sione Vaki is ever going to run the ball successfully, this is one of them.
J
18:06Jeff RisdonHOST
Because he is a hard charger.
J
18:08Jeff RisdonHOST
Doesn't necessarily have a lot of vision or wiggle to him.
Episode #356: Lions at Bills on TNF, Week 2 preview
J
6:52Joe KaniaHOST
Whatever Goff, what happened with
E
6:53Erik SchlittHOST
Goff? But on that play, Vaki was trying to leak and Vaki ran into Sewell as he was trying to get out.
E
7:05Erik SchlittHOST
And that then caused Sewell to not be able to drop.
E
7:08Erik SchlittHOST
And then it was really more Vaki's fault than Sewell's.
E
7:13Erik SchlittHOST
And so I'm not overly worried about Sewell.
E
7:16Erik SchlittHOST
I think he's adjusting pretty good.
20 MINS LATER
E
27:15Erik SchlittHOST
And again, that's an adaption that you make as the week goes on.
E
27:20Erik SchlittHOST
you don't want to use Gibbs as much.
