What have you seen other Lions defense so far? I think they range sup towards this kind of the bottom of the league in some areas. But what have they been good at? Um the things that they have been good at. I mean, they've got some players out there. I mean when you look at Slay, we've been watching the film on him and he's extremely talented corner, really
good just in coverage and out of his breaks. So it's just been a point of empassis for us if you are lined up against him, just making sure that you know if you sell your routes, you take your time, that you're patient because he's a guy that he's not buying on double moves and he can be physical as well as Finesse and then also Quinn in the back in the back with the safeties, he's real, real smart guy, be in the league for a long time. He'll come
and hit you too. So we're basically really keen on those guys. But other than that good defense, they're gonna try and get to the quarterback. But we felt we have a good plan for him. Jordan Shack. Other thing, Detroit obviously does a really good job of getting the ball to running back side of the backfield to read it. How much more difficult does that make it for you this week? I don't know if it's necessarily more difficult.
We go up against one of the best backs every day and that's Darren Sprowles, um with that type of stuff getting him the ball and um, you know, allowing him to be a part of the past game. So I think we've got a lot of good preparation through camp, through you know, every time going against him. But you know that's that's a big part of their game is getting their backs to the ball. So obviously we're ready
for it. Um, you know, we've we've we've you practiced all week, we've we've seen that route, so we're ready. Frank talked this morning about the reeling selfishness with the skill players on this team, a big reason player why there's been that success, and we really noticed that the first two reason this season. Yeah, definitely. I think earlier I said that we need to be like Spurs. I's tell him that, you know, we need to be the type of team that you don't know where the ball
is going. Everybody needs to be able to make a play at any time. But the way you even have that ability to do that is the character has to be instilled in the guys that we don't care who's going to go out there and make the plays, and that we're always going to be excited whenever somebody goes out there and does something to help this team. And I can't like express enough how excited I am to be a part of a team like that, because there's not a lot of teams like that in the NFL.
Like selfishness will kill you from the inside out. It reeks, the team hates it, and then everybody knows is it from you guys, to the fans, to the organization. So you know, just when you look at the guys and our team, you look at spros, you know, if I would have came here and say, hey, he's gonna go for one and twenty and a touchdown, you know this past game, you'd be like, you know, you have no clue.
You know what I'm saying. I went four hundred the first game, haven't the last two games, But then the second game, who steps up Trey Burton does. He has a huge game versus Chicago. Brid Cell has been consistent each time, and then I feel like this has been without who I consider one of the top five you know, tight ends receiving in the league when it comes to zact. So now at him back to that fold, you've got a large group of guys who can go out there
and make plays. I still feel like there's a lot of things we can do with DGB that we've yet to be able to do. So the next thirteen weeks, I think you're really about to just see us as an offense open up and just spread the ball around. But I'm telling you, man, like this team is not fake. Like the guys on offense, we love seeing other guys make plays and everybody's in it for each other and that's the best part about it. Jordan picks. You guys
were in Detroit last year. Yeah, obviously, different team, different regime, all that. From a defensive standpoint, Calvin's not there anymore. In a weird way, as that made him a little bit more difficult because they're more willing to spread the ball around. Now, you know, absolutely not if Calvin's out there on the field. It's obviously he takes most of
the attention. Last year, we had so much attention on him that other guys were able you know, to be in one on one situations and kind of get exposed a little bit. So you know, with Calvin on the field, we're able to m you know, really spread it around and we're not. I mean, at the end of the day, it's not about who they have, it's not about what they do. It's about what we do. UM that goes offense and defense, this whole team, special teams, whatever it is,
it's all about us. As long as we focus in, do what we're supposed to do. Execute when we're on the field, execute the game plan, We'll be all right. Thanks guys. Jordan's out out
