days, they're showing promise, and there's no room in the end. It's a musical chairs
00:05
game. And so to get them on a practice squad, first you have to put them on waivers. And
00:11
I can't imagine those guys not getting claimed.
00:13
I have a hard time thinking that as well. And, you know, I saw, I think it was Kyle
00:18
Meinke of MLive had his post game two of the exhibition season depth chart or roster, 53
00:27
man roster. And he listed only four, he thinks they're going to keep four receivers. And
00:32
the fourth that they would keep would be down in the people's Jones. And I'm like, I don't
00:36
know. I mean, if you're going to keep DPJ at this point, is it solely on size? Because
00:43
he hasn't done a whole lot in the two games he's played and given it's somewhat limited
00:47
action, but he hasn't stood out. So if you're going to tell me that you're going to keep
00:51
DPJ over Isaiah Williams, either tells me you're only doing it for, you have to only
00:57
be doing that for size because it's not based on production of what we've seen.
01:00
It could have a lot to do with practice, right? I mean, it could have a lot to do with what
01:03
we don't see. We're going to be a practice this week, given we'll be on the air and we
01:08
won't be like charting every snap to see who stands out in practice. We'll be watching
01:13
as much as we can. And there might be a little bit, he's a reliable, he's a veteran, he'll
01:18
play a different role. I mean, one of the problems Isaiah Williams has is he's a natural
01:23
slot receiver.
01:24
Correct. And you've got Amin Ra and Kali Freeman, you know, and Isaiah Williams is helping himself
01:30
with the return game. Although we did drop a return, but he also had two punt returns
01:35
for 19 and 20 yards. And the 20 yarder was the one at the end of the game, which basically
01:41
got him in the field goal range. And then they had a couple of plays after that. But
01:45
with Brandon Joseph, Mikey had listed his defensive backs. I think there were 10 defensive
01:49
backs total that he had on the roster. And I was going to my head before I saw the list.
01:54
I'm like, okay, this guy, this guy, this guy, this, and they came up and I had 10 and Joseph
01:58
was going to be my 10th. He had the same nine that I would have had, but his 10th was CJ
02:06
Moore instead. Now CJ Moore has been on this team for a couple of years and he's really
02:10
good at special teams. And I imagined that that, that might give him the edge. So this,
02:15
this might be a really important week for, for Brandon Joseph. I, I feel like keeping
02:21
four receivers and that King, we brought this up last week. I just, I don't think four is
02:25
going to be number. I think they have to keep five. And I think Vaki on this team gives
02:30
them some flexibility with, cause he's so good at special teams and he's going to be
02:36
a running back guy as well. And you know, he does have that defensive background that
02:41
we, it's, it's almost like a shh, don't tell anybody he was a safety, right. You know?
02:47
And I wonder if that gives it, that gives a little bit more flexibility on this team
02:52
of what they're going to do roster wise to open up that fifth spot, to keep a, to keep
02:55
five receivers on the team.
02:57
I think they keep four receivers from this current roster and get their fifth receiver
03:02
outside the building. So I think they end up ultimately having five receivers on the
03:05
team Gator. I'm just not sure that fifth receiver we've seen playing a lion's uniform
03:10
this year.
03:11
2, 4, 8, 5, 3, 9, 97, 97 to your phone calls. DJ's in Detroit and he's on 97 on the ticket.
03:17
What's up DJ?
03:18
Happy Monday. Welcome back, my man.
03:21
How you doing?
03:22
I'm doing good. Refreshed and ready to go.
03:24
Yeah, I am too, man. So first, first and foremost, I don't ever have to see Nate Dogg self-help
03:29
ever again. I'm good. I've seen enough. I'm straight. I think that you just made a valid
03:36
point and I agree with you 1000%. The fact that Hendon Hooker is now practicing, he's
03:41
getting reps. He's doing what you want to see. He's getting better, man. So I'm fine
03:46
with him as a backup. Besides that one early rollout, he seems to throw a nice ball. It's
03:51
pretty accurate. I'm good with him.
03:54
Number two, the Vockie kid is going to help us because as we know, running backs in the
03:59
NFL get dinged up, get banged up. I feel comfortable with him stepping in here and there, catching
04:03
the ball. You get what I'm saying? I don't think he's an every down guy, but I can see
04:08
how he's going to help us. And then lastly, guys, well, two more things. Williams should
04:13
make this team. I definitely hope he makes this team because he can catch the ball. As
04:16
long as you can catch the ball, I'm good with you and get open. Lastly, you know how I am
04:20
about my offensive lineman. I've been watching them a new kid, guys. He got better last week.
04:25
I don't think, yeah, I don't think he's a, I'm sticking with this one. I don't think
04:29
he's a tackle because his lateral movement doesn't seem that great, but I watched it
04:34
because I ain't had nothing to do this weekend. In the run game, he's dominated against those
04:37
second and 13 and he's getting better in pass, bro. He's going to help us going forward too
04:41
in about a year. I can see it.
04:44
You know, the Manu thing, it would, he definitely looked better in game, game two. Um, the depth
04:50
that this team appears to have now is, is making more, making me more comfortable. Um,
04:56
I've had some guys banged up, but it doesn't sound like at this point that, you know, of
05:01
the starters, people should be ready to go by the regular season. Cut day is a week from
05:06
tomorrow. Cut day is a week from tomorrow. And they're going to be names on that list
05:10
that people are going to go, Ooh, you know, it's a question I would love to ask Dan Campbell
05:17
and Brad Holmes too. If you could change the roster number, what number would you make
05:24
it? Because I feel like there's maybe, I don't know if it's a full handful, but it might
05:30
be three or four guys that are going to be really difficult decisions for this team to
05:35
leave off the roster. And a couple of them might be offensive linemen. I mean, you use
05:40
a draft resource to draft Giovanni Manu and, and good. I, cause I like what he's, I like
05:45
what I've seen as well. And, and, and sores doll and mahogany. Um, but other guys have
05:51
played really well in the interim as well. And then you do, you go out and you bring
05:55
up a Jamarco Jones and he grades out very well. According to pro football focus, he
06:00
was one of the top offensive players they had out there and take that for whatever it's
06:04
worth. But he's another guy who was an offensive lineman, a veteran offensive lineman who who's
06:08
got something there who's not likely to make this roster. And I don't know if he can sneak
06:13
him on the practice squad or, or, or not. I doubt it. Um, he'll probably be gone to
06:17
another team. It's guys that are going to be, I feel like teams in the NFL are looking
06:22
to see what the lions are going to do because no lines have put together a really good roster
06:27
over the years. And now it's just a matter of, Hey, sorry, man, the bar's full. We can't
06:31
let anybody in. You're on the outside.
