I love this quote... "we actually make in-game adjustments now" :D

It's like 2:50 in.

He talks about Cam a lot and also talks about the reasons why he thought about quitting football completely during the offseason. Talks about the team as a whole and having fun again and the future. Great stuff.

And lol "from putting down the football cleats, to picking up the towels and sheets, ya know folding those up"

thought about quitting football entirely... that's scary... no wonder he's so pumped up about this season. who'd have thought he'd be the league-leading receiver at this point in the season with a rookie quarterback throwing him the ball?

cam newton has effectively added another 3 to 4 years to steve smith's career. if smitty makes the HoF it will be because of Cam.

that might be a little extreme. if he makes the HoF it will be because he is an elite WR. Cam might help, but to attribute it to Cam solely is a bit silly.

Deangelo said this on his livestream this week, too. Something to the effect of "Before we used to go in the locker room at half time and hear 'we gotta play harder' and now we hear 'They're running this play and this is what we need to do to adjust'"

lol steve still has a chip on his shoulder "oh he can't play"

I really don't think many people said that, it was more "wow jimmy clausen blows, if the Panthers can't find a qb, Steve Smith's career is effectively over"

gotta love smitty

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
