00:02Brad Holmes talking about
00:03Terry on Arnold situation
00:05played you some of the exchange with him
00:07and Burkett
00:09to open the show we've got a few more things that
00:11Brad Holmes said the Greg Dortch situation
00:13seemed like he was surprised he was cut
00:15what was the explanation
00:45Brad I'd like
00:45to follow that up with
00:47what was the competition he faced as
00:49a punt returner right who won
00:51the job
00:54there was no there was no question
00:55I was just I was kind of befuddled
00:57by the fact that there was
00:59no question asked about who's going to
01:01be the punt returner right and you've said and I think
01:03you're right it's not on the roster
01:05no and so then it would then
01:07okay well if he's not on the roster
01:09if we have guys that we could bump up from
01:11the practice squad are you looking
01:13at and the answer would have been yes
01:15are you looking at the other
01:18teams that are releasing
01:19players or
01:21what's the plan we're always looking to get better
01:23right I mean okay so fine
01:25I just I was surprised that
01:27no one followed up with or asked about
01:29the punt return
01:30Pacheco going to start the season on IR
01:32here was Holmes on the timeline
01:34could he return this year
01:50there's a question about why
01:51so many injured players it seems like you have
01:53this propensity to select or add
01:55players with injury history here
01:57here was Brad Holmes response
01:58Thank you
02:00I'm
02:00I'm
02:17I'm
02:27I'm
02:28I'm
02:42i don't know what you want me to say to that yeah injuries happen it could happen to guys that
02:46have
02:46been perfectly healthy for their entire career can happen to guys that have had injury histories
02:52and those guys with injury histories can also stay healthy text coming in on the terry and
02:58arnold stuff guys he's on another team the classy thing to do is to not trash the player i don't
03:03think we expected homes to trash the player no dave burquette's point was you lost the starting
03:07outside corner it's about it was about what we're doing with our roster yeah uh morning fellas goes
03:13to show you the incompetence of homes i hope they miss the playoffs in the hope that he loses his
03:18job
03:18so they can get someone competent to get us right back on track ouch homes is trash he needs to
03:24be
03:24fired he constantly holds this team back with his signings of hurt bargain bin basement players
03:29homes is always shopping at the dollar store
03:34the corners they signed were in late march abney was in may arnold was released in late june so no
03:40brad you did not replace terry on either they didn't think much of him and his role or he's
03:44playing dumb because he doesn't want to publicly say he's putting all his eggs in rake straws basket
03:49brett in a car i do think he's playing dumb a little bit well again there there are there are
03:55certain canned responses you think you're going to get and one of them is well we like the guys
04:00that are in that room that's why we kept them and there was nothing about well we don't have the
04:06same
04:06caliber of guys that we had before we released player x or y and and no one's sitting there saying
04:12the players that they have may actually be better than terry on our was i don't think that's a
04:16it's not it's not a high bar to get over i did not play well guys i love your show
04:21but
04:23dot dot dot i think you guys take some abuse from the afternoon show that's not deserved but i listened
04:28to yesterday and you really are being homers i don't know how you could think this lions team could
04:33make the nfc title game with the defense they have there's no way you also do the same thing
04:38with michigan even though i'm a fan please be more realistic tom and waterford okay so we can have
04:44our opinions about the lions and i was crucified two years ago because i said oh 14 wins what did
04:49they end up with not 14 but 15 you were wrong john i know i was all right so you
04:54got me i was wrong
04:57um i've been wrong before i'm gonna be wrong again and in regards to michigan i don't think i'm out
05:04of
05:04line when i say i think they're an eight and four team homer neither of us had them in the
05:11playoff
05:12it'd be one thing if we were like and the lions are winning the super bowl and michigan's winning
05:16the national title now you could say okay yeah that's a homer take because you know okay they
05:22lose to the the four biggest opponents on their schedule oklahoma indiana uh oregon and ohio state
05:29but what about iowa and penn state and again i've said i think those are toss-ups so i was
05:36a little
05:36surprised you both had the lions in the nfc championship game and i think even said yesterday
05:41i think you chose their ceiling you've got a juggernaut in the nfc that you both picked to go to
05:46the
05:46super bowl wisely i think i think anybody not picking the rams now is just being an outlier
05:51they're clearly the most talented team in the nfc so you took the lions to be the go the second
05:57farthest i i do think that's their ceiling right but that to that texture there is a world where
06:02they do it it it probably starts with their front seven i continue to emphasize the front seven and
06:07specifically the front four but i want to just back up for a second because we're the the homers or
06:11whatever i'd imagine the afternoon show would pick them to win the division if they're not then i
06:16would accuse them of being overly toxic and negative they're the favorites to win the division they've
06:21won it two of the last three years and whether valeni wants to acknowledge it or not the schedule
06:24is going to give them a boost this year so if they continue i'd say there's just these two things
06:29going off the lines either people choose to view them as a nine and eight team last year or they
06:33view them as a last place team right but let me land the play i think a reasonable person would
06:37have
06:37them winning the division that would mean hosting a playoff game at home if they win that home playoff
06:43game then you disagree with us by one game right and we're homers well you know what they like to
06:49do
06:49no i know but then let's call them what they are yeah but how they've left everything very broad i
06:54don't
06:54want to dismiss that they could do i'm not going to give opinions they got a lot of blind spots
06:58right
06:58now but to in in their defense how would you possibly win the division even though you might
07:04be the favorites with the third best quarterback in the conference right exactly okay well we'll get
07:11to some bold predictions at 635 all across the nfl unbelievable these are espns
07:19okay these are legitimate homer predictions coming up at 6 35 first heather with the news
