Lions season predictions.

0:00I'm going to go to the next slide. The December day and a day of reflection on what happened 25 years ago today we we power on here on the car ship program. We will go out to Allen Park and speak with the birch kid today at 12 30 24 8 5 39 97 97 we are we threw this out there on Twitter a template lines and we will go out to the next slide. Who will be the most pleasant surprise which player needs to step up and the lion's final record will be. Dave Parker. Yeah sends in a most confident in the entire offense. I'm least confident in the secondary pleasant surprise I think will be Derek more. Who needs to step up and he says not just one player I think the whole secondary needs to step up final record 12 and the next one. Who needs to step up the

1:00line's final record will be 10 and seven. The red ranger most confident the passing game least confident the secondary DJ Reed needs to step up the lines final record will be 11 and 6. From Todd vegetable and the offense least confidence the secondary with both starting safety out most pleasant surprise Derek more player needs a step up Isaac Tesla record record 13 and four. From Jeff, Jeff Whitstock. Most confident, Jared Goff for MVP, Least Confident, Jake Bates. Pleasant Surprise, Sam Laporte's come back from injury, needs to step up, Tesla, final record 13 and four. From Colin, Colin Ha. Gives. This is crazy. Most confident and Gibbs being a top three running back this season. Least Confident in center position. Pleasant Surprise, Blake Miller being the best rookie blocker. Needs to step up the guard spot. Rucker will be 13 and four.

2:01Jamie writes in most confident in the offense being elite. Least Confident and Jake Bates. Most pleasant surprise. Rock Yossin, player needs to step up, DJ Reed 12 and five. I mean, these are very confident, very confident records. Even the, and look at, you know, the people that think the secondary is going to kill them. I understand, but every team has a weakness. And even with the injuries last year, the lion's secondary was still, it wasn't the worst passing defense in the league. And that's what it is. It's past defense, right? We're worried about guys running free. And this is where the Derek Moore, people saying he's the most pleasant surprise and a lot of that's coming in. That's where DJ want him. That's where a healthy, elimic meal, maybe collapse in the pocket. They have to have a huge year. The front is so important.

3:02It, because if they do have a huge year, I think the highest of these predictions can be reached. Yes, it's, it's about getting consistent pressure on the quarterback. It can't come from just eight in Hutchinson. You have to have consistent pressure from everywhere else. And I think it's going to, it should be aided by having a healthy, elimic meal this year. Yes, he played last year, but he was nowhere and you're 100%. By all accounts, it seems like he's 100% right now. And I like that they can have a little bit of a rotation now in the middle with tie-league Williams and Levi Anzerique. And then who's the Gil? Skyler Gil Howard. That should help out as well with that rotation of defensive tackles. That sounds good. Keepin' guys fresh. If the idea is to have less of a snap count for eight in Hutchinson to keep him fresher, makes all the sense in a world. And then you're going to be leaning on first and second year players like Derek Moore and Ahmed Hossini. So let's go.

4:03I like, I love the defensive line and the linebacker is probably like even more, because you got the best middle linebacker in football with Jack Campbell. Yes, I did it for you. Thank you. And I also believe that. It's accurate. It is accurate. You know, Derek Barnes, it feels like every year is a show me a year for Derek Barnes, but the team really likes him. Okay, let's see if you can take another step forward. And the Devon White acquisition, I can't applaud enough for the line's landing, Devon White. Now was Devon White in great shape and training camp. Apparently he wasn't, but boy, he still flew around the field. I would imagine now, here we are, September 11th, getting into the first game on September 13th. He's had plenty of time to get into absolute playing shape and write it a role. This is the number three, the number three leading tackler in all the football last year. And he's playing alongside the number two tackler in all the NFL last year. So I like the linebackers that front seven looks like it can be really elite. Feedback coming in with season predictions.

5:03And we do record all these. So again, get them in. Lions prediction 11 and six. This is from Charles and Gladwin. I think they're a little bit better than last year, but not by a lot. Depends on the offensive line in secondary. If golf and Gibbs or Hutch miss a game or two, no Super Bowl this year, week one is going to tell us a lot. On named texture 11 and six, they lose one. We don't expect offense keeps rolling. We win the division. Alex in a card, Lions go 12 and five. And the Bears will finish last in the North with a seven and 10 record. I agree with Kang and I think this is going to be one of the tougher divisions of football. And I don't think we're alone in saying that. Based by last year, I mean, nine and eight was the worst record in the division. It was the Lions. I'm not sleeping on the Bears. I don't like, I don't like their coach. And it's personal and that's fine. You admit that. I admit that. But I can also recognize that team still has a lot of talent.

6:03Yeah, they've got some holes in that team now too that they didn't have maybe a year ago. But expecting the quarterback to grow year to year with the with the office of coordinator and head coach Ben Johnson, I do expect that. I think he's going to be better. And that was a guy who did not throw interceptions last year. Maybe they're going to have him be a little bit more aggressive this year. And that can be problematic for some teams. That being said, I don't think that's a 10 or 11 win team. But I also don't think it's going to be a dog team in the division. I think that maybe the baseline is right around the nine wins. And we'll see where they go from there. I think it's probably the same for all the teams. I think Minnesota might be the team that finishes last in the division. Matt from Scottsdale, formerly out of mower, I think the Lions are going to get 11 wins. And we make it to the Super Bowl and play the bills. Hey, did you get Thursday, my win? I did. I did. And I was very happy to get Thursday. Can you not only get Thursday, my, but Thursday, uh, tree trim tree trim. Yeah, I got the biweekly whipping. So that was good. But the tree trim story is fantastic.

7:05Can I improvise a little bit really? Yeah. So there's a tree at the end of my driveway that I guess the branches have grown kind of low, you know, start sagging. And the garbage truck would come by and it would hit the branches on the tree and it would break the branches. But they wouldn't completely fall off. So they're hanging there. So actually became a hazard for cars driving by. So the wife's like, you got to go out there and cut this thing. I'm like fine, fine. Okay. Got to do it before this weekend, right? And so, so. I just want my hair out. Yeah. You know how this gator will play it. Um, so I have to grab a ladder and put it basically almost into the street. Okay. But I don't want to get by cars because I live off a street that's kind of like the entrance way to my subdivision. A lot of cars come in and out. But I don't have orange cones or barrels like workers do, you know. So improvising like Doug said is what I do have, I'm thinking what do I have that's colorful that can put in the street? It's a little teaball that my girls use to hit a teaball, you know, baseball off of. So it's just red like teaball stand.

8:05Nice. I took it out and put it in the middle of my street and I'm in the middle by like kind of like, you know, I'll enough to give people warning. Exactly. There's somebody working here. Yeah. Or about the head of ball. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I showed Doug a picture. I'll show you in the break too that it's just in the middle of the street, this red teaball stand in a ladder. Me, I'm on a ladder. Just saw and branches here. Well, and just to make sure it wouldn't go unnoticed, what did one of your daughters do? She would stand there and as cars are going by, like, don't hit my daddy. Was that your older daughter? Yes. Yeah. Because the younger ones like, yeah, she probably, she probably took away the, yeah. She ball stand. I'm like, no, I need that. Didn't you get, didn't want the kids to put a pink soccer ball on top of the teaball? Yeah. The one that cares about me, put a ball on top of the teaball. Yeah. I'm going to make it more obvious to the other one though the other day that I didn't tell you guys this is I told the girls, both of them, I say, hey, just want to let you know that no one will ever love you more than daddy, okay? And the old one's like, okay, you know, she takes it in and it's like, I appreciate that. The young one goes, mommy does. I swear to God.

9:08And I'm like, okay, that's fine. You set her up for that though. That's fine. I wasn't trying to. I was just trying to know what he said. No one's ever going to love you more than daddy. I mean, come on, that's, that's a setup. And God bless your younger daughter. She took it and ran. Yeah. No, that mommy. She couldn't just like say you're even. No, she's like, mommy does. No, she went for the shot. She's like, you couldn't say you were even either. You try to take the upper hand. No, but I said, okay, she does as much. That's fine. We won't have a competition here. She does not pass on the opportunity to go for the emotional kill shot though. And that has been consistent. Well, it's not like Kang was trying to pit the daughters against the mom. Not at all. I was just saying, I was trying to love you more than daddy. Daddy, daddy needs trying to get some footing back, man. I understand what you did there. Dude, his daughter looked across at him when the, the, the life and the two daughters were sitting on one couch and Kang was sitting on the other couch. She pointed at him and said, daddy, you're sitting alone and started to laugh. That is cold blooded. That is cold blooded.

10:09I didn't ask for that. No, you didn't ask for that. No, that was just, that was straight up. That's the right shot, man. No, that was. It is cold blooded. Oh, blooded. Let's get an update from Al Park from the Birchie Kid next on 971.
