00:00
go the length of the field.
00:02
You'd like to see that every time,
00:03
but it's going to be a heightened
00:04
sense of awareness and importance
00:07
as you go into Thursday night's game.
00:09
Two things stand out to me.
00:10
We'll do more of this obviously
00:11
tomorrow on game day,
00:12
but two things stand out to me
00:13
if the Lions are going to win this game.
00:15
One, you said points on all or most drives.
00:18
I also think they have to be long drives.
00:19
Yeah, they need to be
00:21
time-consuming.
00:22
Yeah, eight plays, 10 plays, 12 plays
00:24
because now the defense,
00:25
which you don't want them playing too many snaps
00:27
because they're depleted,
00:28
can catch their breath.
00:29
So it has to be scoring drives,
00:30
but long scoring drives would be a huge key.
00:32
And then the second one is turnovers.
00:35
How do you get a tired defense off the field?
00:37
You rip the ball out.
00:39
And what does this defense still have?
00:41
You start looking at the injury report.
00:43
You start looking at too deep
00:44
and you see all the red lines
00:45
for question mark and questionable and IR.
00:49
They still have their safety duo.
00:50
They still have Branch.
00:51
They still have Joseph.
00:52
They're going to come downhill.
00:53
They're going to make plays on the football.
00:55
They're going to try to take it away
00:56
via interception, forced fumble.
00:57
You're going to need a takeaway.
00:58
Carlton Davis.
00:59
Good news.
01:00
Fully participated at practice yesterday.
01:02
Yeah, you're going to need a takeaway.
01:04
Jordan loves.
01:04
Good for it.
01:05
When he throws it to you,
01:06
catch it, secure it,
01:07
and then go on an eight play drive,
01:09
a 10 play drive,
01:10
a time-consuming touchdown drive.
01:12
If you pair those two things together,
01:13
you will survive.
01:15
What is a could survive?
01:17
If you do those things,
01:18
you will survive.
01:19
If you get turnovers and possess the football,
01:21
you will win this game at home
01:22
and you'll do it without your full compliment on defense.
01:25
If you don't do those things,
01:25
it's going to be a sweat
01:27
and you might lose.
01:27
And this could be a key loss
01:29
in the race for the one seed,
01:30
which is why,
01:31
for everybody who said last week,
01:33
so boring.
01:36
Hey.
01:36
Yeah.
01:37
Hey, guy.
01:38
I got news for you.
01:38
Careful what you ask for.
01:39
I got news for you.
01:40
You'll be sweating on Thursday night.
01:41
Yeah.
01:43
I mean, this is why,
01:44
this is why the NFL,
01:46
every single week,
01:47
is so exciting.
01:48
And this is why when you make a prediction
01:50
of 14 and 3,
01:52
or you adjust it,
01:52
you go to 15 and 2,
01:53
and some people have even said 16 and 1.
01:56
Why it's so difficult to do.
01:59
You do need some luck.
02:02
And some of that luck can come in,
02:04
you know, the way the ball bounces.
02:05
And all of a sudden,
02:06
hey, you win a game,
02:07
maybe you shouldn't have won
02:07
just because the ball bounced your way.
02:09
Or it's you're just able to stay healthier
02:12
than other teams.
02:14
It just,
02:15
hey, you're dealt with certain,
02:17
you know, set of cards
02:17
throughout the course of the season
02:19
and you've got to find a way.
02:20
And that's the way Dan Campbell has approached it.
02:22
He hasn't shied away and said,
02:23
oh, no, we're, you know, we,
02:25
I have no idea what we're going to do in this game.
02:26
No, they're putting together a game plan
02:28
where they believe they're going to win this game.
02:30
So what do we want to know from Lions fans?
02:31
Concern level?
02:34
Yeah, I want to know,
02:35
are you concerned
02:36
about the Green Bay Packers?
02:38
We know even went healthy last year.
02:41
This is a team that went to Green Bay and won.
02:43
And then Green Bay came in here on Thanksgiving Day
02:46
and put it on the Lions.
02:47
I put a number on it.
02:48
1 to 10.
02:49
We'll do it next.
02:49
97-1.
