00:00coordinators, I mean, especially Ben Johnson. I was looking back the last two, three weeks,

00:06we averaged 27, 28, uh, carries, uh, between Gibbs and Montgomery before he went out. But, uh,

00:14last night we only ran the ball, I think 21 times in total, and we had 40 passing attempts and

00:22against the 30th ranked defense or rushing defense. That's, I'm not really sure what we

00:28were doing there. Um, but I guess that's, that's really the only thing that, uh, has kind of

00:34helped me stay in this right now. I'm still in, I'm still grieving about it, but that's what's

00:40helped me. Look, I mean, you look at the game and the way that game went, it felt like if the

00:45Lions handed the ball off to Jameer Gibbs, every play they would have won the game.

00:49It's hard to escape that feeling that if they had just done that, they would have won the game.

00:53Nobody does that every play, but, uh, I mean, Gibbs was so good and, and, and so dangerous

01:02and a player that if, if, if I were doing the show in Washington, I would have been fearful

01:06every time he touched the football and, you know, he's, he's such an elite weapon. Um,

01:15that, yeah, I'm not, you know, they've said that the golf was not in concussion protocol

01:21and maybe he wasn't, but I, I don't doubt the possibility that that hit had an impact.

01:27Oh, he got, he got lit up, absolutely lit up and it's a penalty. It should have been. However,

01:34you know, I think it was before that, uh, one of the plays before that the Lions got the benefit of

01:39a, of a terrible call. I think there was a, um, uh, actually it was in the second half that there

01:46was a face mask on a third and two play for the Lions. The first drive of the second half,

01:52it wasn't face mask. It got him up by the shoulder pad and they called it face mask

01:56and lines benefited from it because otherwise that's a tackle for loss and it's fourth down.

02:00So it, it, it went a little bit both ways with the, with a horrible call against that one was

02:06called and shouldn't have been one wasn't called. That should have been Stacey's and

02:10commerce and I'm 97 on the ticket. Hi Stacey. Good morning, gentlemen. I'm not going to ask

02:15you how you feel. I'm going to kind of approach us from a more clinical perspective. Timing is

02:22everything in life and in general. Uh, unfortunately the lion's timing was a little bit off. Others

02:28were saying today, well, they got lucky. Well, luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.

02:34So secondly, those things didn't happen for us either. Fortunately for even life and in general,

02:41for our country, you know, when things aren't going well, you take your top choice, put them

02:47on the bench. Just like today, we took our, our putting our new draft choice in and hopefully

02:53the next four years will go a lot better than what happened to the lions on Sunday.

02:59Well, hopefully I'm more optimistic about the lines next season. Two, four, eight, five, three,
