00:00out of the nfc north that sent three teams to the postseason last year all three teams won at least

00:0611 games the lions the best 15 and 2 winning the division the vikings the second best 14 wins

00:13although a lot of change this year in minneapolis the packers won 11 games as well in year number

00:20two caleb williams rookie head coach of the windy city in ben johnson you know that's much like the

00:27nfc west the nfc north is about to be stacked this season what do you like in this division

00:32yeah they're gonna beat each other up no doubt about it and all eyes will be on detroit once

00:37again unbelievably talented it didn't work out in their favor last year they were so injured on

00:41defense and washington came on and just put it on them in that divisional round here smashed them

00:46they go to the nfc championship game and a lot to be left to be in their tanks you know what

00:50why didn't detroit weren't they were able to get over the hump well also now as you saw with the

00:54philadelphia eagles on a talented team that actually went to the super bowl and lost to the

00:58kansas city chiefs ben they lost their offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator and boy that

01:02next season they did get off hot but it crashed and burned in the end because you just didn't have

01:07that stability on both offense and defense now you look at detroit it was like you know what we're

01:11built on grit we're going to build this from the ground up ben johnson was the best play caller in

01:16the nfl he is no longer there you also get the double whammy in that division now you didn't lose ben

01:21johnson to the indianapolis cults won't see him for a while you lost him to the chicago bears who

01:27are amped up with all the talent in the world a franchise quarterback that just needs direction

01:32and he's going to get that direction and much more here that's fun to watch the minnesota vikings

01:37breaking in a new quarterback not necessarily a rookie but just doesn't have any starts under his

01:41belt in jj mccarthy the green day packers are always going to be there with matt lafleur one of the

01:45best head coaches in the nfl it just looks like it's one of those divisions where you say to yourself

01:49and look at the price points right detroit plus 155 the bottom feed is the bears with all that

01:53talent at plus 550 and if you want to win a championship we talk about the buffalo bills

01:58or the ease of schedule on some of these teams just get me that number one seed i don't know

02:03and it's not because the talent isn't there like the bears the lions the packers and the vikings can

02:07ascend to a number one seed why because every single week in division ben is going to be such a dog

02:13fight from start to finish all the way through but the biggest question mark in this division

02:18is not what we're getting out of ben johnson for the chicago bears not what i'm getting out of jj

02:22mccarthy can the green bay packers respond if they're making the playoffs and losing to the

02:26philadelphia eagles it's the lions and ben johnson calling that because i used the term yesterday sort

02:31of an analogy like you can have an f-16 fighter pilot right the best in the world and a great machine

02:37in an f-16 but take that great fighter power that you still have a great machine but how does it

02:41maneuver like what do we see out of detroit early same aggression is it the same old same old we don't have

02:46to worry or is it boy man what's up with the play calling here and that might be it
