00:00All right, so I I had a visceral reaction to when I looked down and read some of these texts

00:05Yes, you did

00:07Thought you were upset with me

00:08Colin in ann arbor writes holmes has a great track record in the draft and sure he's made a few decent free agent signings

00:15But I can't think of a decent trade he's made. Maybe this isn't where he's strong

00:22He traded matt stafford

00:25Stafford

00:26to the rams

00:28for an mvp

00:29caliber quarterback

00:31two firsts and a third

00:36And you can't think of a decent trade he's made

00:39Maybe you forgot that one

00:41The one that set them up

00:43for the successful run

00:45That if they win a super bowl is probably the moment that kick-started the rebuild

00:52Was that a decent trade

00:55When he traded back in the draft and still got jameer gibbs

01:03Was that a decent trade

01:07I mean the trades he made on draft day

01:10He does a lot of moving on draft day. I haven't been terribly upset with that

01:15He was on the job for two weeks

01:18Two weeks

01:20Not even well, it was just barely two weeks before he had to make the stafford trade staff was traded on january 30th

01:26Holmes was hired on january 14th

01:28So literally two weeks later. He had to trade stafford

01:32I I don't get that. I think what what it is is people

01:37Were upset last year at the trade deadline that they didn't make a move for a for a defensive end or an edge rusher

01:44That's what they were of course they are they're still complaining about it to this day exactly

01:48But I think that's what it is and they they forget about everything else that's happened

01:52Maybe he's had a free agent signing here or there. I mean

01:55You can see you can argue this free agents the free agency's brought in have not been great

02:00I think he's been a lot of hit a lot of miss. I think you can argue that he doesn't bat a thousand

02:03No, you know, well certainly not and I think the free agent route we saw that when he first got here

02:08The the wide receivers he brought in did nothing for the team

02:11It's kind of been an achilles heel a little bit but at the same time

02:16You know, he's he's also picked up tim patrick off the scrap heap and that that seems to have worked out he traded for

02:22uh, josh reynolds

02:24That worked out and we know he can draft. He signed josh reynolds. Sorry sign. Yeah, he signed josh reynolds off the street

02:30But it was dory right off the street like a trade deadline thing though

02:33right in the middle of the season, I guess is what I was saying, so

02:37yeah, I

02:39I think this is a reaction to what happened last year

02:42uh, then there's this

02:44Coming to the karshan anderson bach guys brad holmes needs to get a deal done asap

02:49Quote, this is from a texter. It's gross negligence on his part that nothing has happened yet. This is ridiculous

02:58It's not ridiculous. It's ridiculous. I I would say that

03:03and even if even if uh

03:06Let's say nobody has moved at the trade deadline

03:09If there are no edge rushers moved in the national football, they get the trade deadline

03:13I would go into that camp and say it's ridiculous

03:15You need to make something happen because I think this team desperately needs to make something happen if they had aden hutchinson

03:22You could convince me otherwise, but they don't

03:26They don't have marcus davenport. And now they don't have aden hutchinson. They don't have an edge rusher that creates pressure

03:33But i'm not going to fly off the handle until we get to tuesday at the deadline and it passes and the lions don't pick

03:38Somebody up if they don't pick somebody up

03:40Then i'm not going to be happy about it. I think you're you're putting you're putting a super bowl caliber team at risk

03:47Of not getting there if you don't do something, but you can't say it now

03:52From a strategic standpoint, it's gross negligence that it hasn't happened yet. According to this. That's what i'm saying

03:57You can't say that right yet, you know, they got they won the game last week

04:02They won last week but without making a move

04:04They won the week before without making a move. I mean look they and sure this is a bigger game

04:09And it'd be cool to have somebody

04:11But you're not going to win every game. They're not winning every game from here on first of all prepare yourself for that

04:16When I see the term gross negligence

04:19To me, that's a fireable offense

04:21Which if you're if your team does something that's quote gross negligence now, maybe he doesn't look at it

04:26Like use that term with that kind of weight

04:29but

04:30How about this one brad holmes won't make a deal because he's arrogant and he thinks his guys will step up so they don't need

04:36Help just like last year

04:41Do we have a good football team here

04:44Yes, but fans want to add to that team for this year. That's okay

04:48but gross negligence arrogant

04:51like why are we calling the best gm we've ever had using these terms when

04:57You haven't seen him even what he's gonna do yet. Well, that's that's the thing

05:01It's the preemptive strike and it's don't do the preemptive strike. It's it's unnecessary

05:07Tuesday you can save save your vitriol for for wednesday's show if they don't do anything right, but but but

05:14the amount of competence this guy's operated with

05:18To go straight to gross negligence and arrogant and not give him the benefit of the doubt

05:23Is is absurd but they're forming an opinion on what what could happen

05:28All right, I wouldn't look too much at the asap stuff

05:32I know but you're reading it literally and I get it

05:34Okay, but if you were to get these people in a cross examination and say what if they wait till tuesday

05:40Are you okay if they make a move tuesday and then they would say yes, okay

05:44so

05:45Go under the assumption that it's nothing happens. I mean, I mean fair enough

05:49This guy literally has said the words are it hasn't happened yet. It's gross negligence. Nothing

05:54Well, you can't do something now because it's thursday

05:56I mean you can I suppose but you're not likely to add a player

05:59We're not going to see a whole lot. I don't imagine we're going to see any players traded

06:03until monday at this point

06:06Because teams are in in prep work for the games on sunday

06:08Now if you're expecting max crosby and it's gross negligence

06:11If you don't get it, then you're going to think he is gross negligence because they're probably not getting max crosby

06:16And they're probably not getting miles garrett

06:19They're not getting miles. Yeah, I mean I I and they're not getting max crosby. Neither player is available

06:24I think that just speaks to how frustrated fans are doug

06:27and I know you're reading it literally and

06:29I think gator's more right than wrong as far as if they make a trade at least that's before the trade deadline

06:34Those fans will calm the f down. They will right now. They're enraged because

06:39Maybe they want that guy here now

06:40So we get you know more acclimated with the system with his teammates the coaching staff all that stuff beat green bay

06:46Yeah, yeah, exactly

06:48I mean i'm not gonna say

06:50I mean, obviously you don't think it's criminal if brad holmes doesn't make a trade

06:53But should it be thrown in jail if he doesn't make a trade guys? That's no of course not but I think they'll calm the f

06:59down

07:00But there's a caveat to that

07:02If they make a trade and it's somebody who you think is of no consequence

07:06Like if they just add like an isaiah thomas type player if that's the trade that's made something like that

07:12Then I think fans will freak out again

07:15But if they if they were to add a trey hendrickson everyone's going to calm down if it's a derry smith

07:19People calm down khalil mac people calm down

07:22but if it's arden key

07:26I mean some will calm down because of the recency bias of what he did to the lions

07:30But in his career, he hasn't been special if it's j'davin clowney

07:34yeah, i'm not going to be thrilled if it's j'davin clowney because he can't play the run and

07:38He really hasn't ever been a great pass rusher in the league, but i'd be happier, but is it better than nothing?

07:44Because I think I think because right now they started muhammad from someone else's practice squad

07:52That's what they started last week
