00:11take us through it big nfl questions the thursday touchdown
00:30all right guys jameer gibbs is having a really good season averaging 103 yards rushing per game
00:36his longest run is just 22 yards what can the lions do to get gibbs more explosive so my first
00:43answer and initial thought is don't force it they will come right it's going to happen the issue
00:49that the lions are having is there is no other option in the backfield there's no david montgomery
00:54there's no other change up pitch all game plans right now in the rushing attack are stopped or
00:59are built to stop or limit jameer gibbs they're doing a nice job on the offensive line of getting
01:06to that second level and blocking some linebackers wide receivers getting in the mix we've seen tesla
01:11like if you want explosive runs you've got to find a way to block that third level of defense but
01:18if
01:18you're just talking about game plan how can they get the ball in his hands get it to him in
01:22space
01:23screens um flare routes get him out in space where he can make guys miss we've seen him make guys
01:28miss in the backfield do it on the edges as well yeah i want to put it in context last
01:33year only two
01:34backs had more 20 yard runs than jameer gibbs that guy's still there right it's i like what you said
01:41it's going to come i also like what tj said with us this week get him going quicker to the
01:46line of
01:47scrimmage let him go yeah as opposed to a little more east and west and figure out where the hole
01:52is
01:52send him downhill quickly i do wonder if cade mays makes a difference with that in terms of just
01:58hitting that hole right up the middle fast because a lot of my recollection on his career is is that
02:03he usually that's where he gets his long runs from yep right the vikings have scored five touchdowns in
02:10their last five games the only other team to do that during a five game win streak was the kansas
02:15city
02:15cowboys in 1926 how about the cowboys 1926 yeah i never heard of them that's 100 years ago by the
02:22way doing the math wow oh thank you yeah well done kevin o'connell said they're not off far
02:28offensively do you buy what ko c is selling sure they're about to play the lions defense
02:33no in all seriousness god your smarm is so annoying in all seriousness they're 26th on third down 22nd in
02:42the red zone those aren't good it's actually better than their total offense tyler's been more
02:47involved with his legs the last two games that could open things up jordan mason came back a week ago
02:50they should be better than this yeah the potential is there we've seen kyler murray be
02:57explosive offensively at times throughout his course of his career he's never been consistent through 17
03:02games or 16 games early in his career um i don't think that they're far off and that's the concern
03:09is that if they figure things out offensively paired with that defense so you got to jump on
03:14them now before they do all right jonathan taylor could be on the trade block espn reported that the
03:20vikings packers seahawks and broncos are the four teams that are interested who needs him the most
03:26well you could answer this two ways of teams that have viable chances of winning the super bowl it's
03:31the seahawks they got to get that run game going to help out their quarterback but by numbers
03:36and i i had no i didn't realize this even though we played green bay last week they are an
03:43abysmal
03:44rushing team they are 32nd in the nfl with 59.9 so let's call it 60 yards per game rushing
03:52technically green bay packers need him the most i'm gonna cheat i'm not gonna pick any of the four
04:00teams oh this guy this morning yeah cincinnati 30th and rushing and john you've talked
04:06about how good they already are would love to see them make that caliber a move would you just
04:12rather answer number four before you answering three yeah or could you just could you just stay
04:17on the page and ask answer the question this is a very wojo move yeah i don't like it at
04:24all
04:24chase brown 3.5 yards per carry yes they could use him we don't happen to have that drop handy
04:29do
04:29we for for team names oh there it is i actually love chase brown don't you sure if taylor went
04:37to
04:37the seahawks oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy follow nelson well they're yeah and correcting their off
04:44season gaffe of not keeping kenneth walker because that might be what holds them back speaking of
04:49running back trade rumors cbs sports proposed a trade where cincinnati would acquire not jonathan
04:55taylor but saquon barkley a jerk sorry if the bengals added barkley would it make them the
05:01favorite in the afc are you reading these for the first time no they're just being difficult
05:07uh it would be awesome if they added a running back whether it's jonathan taylor or saquon barkley
05:11no i would not have them number one in the afc kansas city's defense is better than cincinnati's
05:16defense and i would trust reed and mahomes more so okay i'm not going to be difficult with this one
05:23i'm going to address cookies here if kansas city does not add wide receiver help then yes this makes
05:32the cincinnati bangles the favorite in the afc because they have the passing attack already in
05:39place if they put pair a dominant run game now the question about saquon barkley is he's not 100%
05:46healthy now we saw him limping around last weekend if he gets healthy you pair him with that
05:52rushing attack and a just average defense and and this is under the assumption that kansas city
05:59doesn't do anything in terms of the wide receiver is patrick mahomes greater than joe burrow yes i think
06:05at one point he was you might make an argument now that because of the injury and the way that
06:10they're
06:10operating their offense in kansas city maybe he's not that much ahead of where joe burrow is
06:17performing as this year at this point in time one drive to save my life giving patrick mahomes with
06:24the football yeah joe burrow probably fumble it all right kansas city is five and one but they
06:29certainly could use a wide receiver as john said john what are you doing if the chiefs make a big
06:34splash i didn't answer the question before he asked it if the chiefs make a big splash at wide receiver
06:40who would be a better fit and these are home run acquisitions garrett wilson or nico collins
06:48i would probably say garrett wilson i think his nico collins is more of your big hit down the field
06:59down the middle garrett wilson provides more route options for the kansas city chiefs i also think it's
07:07more likely that the jets would trade garrett wilson we saw empty the tank last year was sauce and
07:14quinn and williams because they have their it's easier for them to replace their wide receiver in
07:20the draft next year they're going to have their own high draft pick but plus they already have two
07:25others all right i've made this difficult for you tom today so i want to commend you this is a
07:28really
07:29good question because i think they both need someone to move the sticks more consistently convert third
07:34downs their league average and they also need someone who can score in the red zone where they
07:38rank 17th and i think each player helps them in a different area right i would say nico collins the
07:44premium i'm finishing drives in the red zone and unlocking more of the deep ball to punish teams
07:50that want to key on kenneth walker i'd say nico but john's right the more likely piece would be garrett
07:56wilson and i think his hands his his ability to adjust to a ball in air i think is superior
08:03to
08:04what nico collins does there haven't been any rumblings about collins i kind of grabbed this
08:08one on my own thinking that if the texans lose next week to the charters after the buy that they
08:13would become sellers at the last second at the deadline he has a very favorable tradable contract
08:18it was he did one of those shorter extensions a couple years ago and i could just see him being
08:23the
08:23deep threat that the that candace city could really use plus they have their replacement in
08:27marvin harrison jr exactly you know what and that's the thing they could sell out at this point and tank
08:31the texans and go for one of these good wide receivers they'd have an opportunity to get
08:36maybe jeremiah smith if he doesn't go one or and are they rebooting is stroud getting extended in this
08:42world they have a lot they have to sort out exactly all right jay-z will headline the super bowl
08:46halftime show who do you want to make an appearance during jay-z jay-z set i can't say that
08:52that's the layup of all layups it's beyonce his wife it's who you want to see yeah his wife
08:57on valentine she's a mega star candy thing yeah i want yeah starburst you know that would be more
09:04of appropriate here because he's picking what he wants this is your so you want to see though
09:09give the give the people what they want who doesn't want it's valentine's day they're both
09:13mega stars they're married they have songs together already she could have been there
09:18she's gonna be there already slow dance i mean we know she's gonna be there so you pick like you
09:22could have said eminem how about you answer your own questions next week tom how about answering
09:27questions before they're asked the first ever appearance on the thursday touchdown well i agree
09:31with jim i mean i would have said beyonce but you know who else he's gonna bring out he's gonna
09:34bring
09:35out his daughter he is she's gonna be she'll perform i guarantee it i don't like any of those
09:42this is kind of an opportunity for people to be creative right and so i'm gonna go with okay so
09:48this isn't that creative because we've seen this duo before lincoln park i think it's out of jay-z's
09:55genre and it adds a little bit more but the i mean the one that i want to see and
10:02we saw this in 2022
10:05but anytime snoop dogg is involved in anything it just becomes awesome he just makes things fun he
10:12just makes things fun football's supposed to be fun let's have some fun let's not go with
10:17beyonce slow dancing with jay-z bring in the entire family their daughter of blue ivy has performed with
10:26him yeah i want to see beyonce she's a star she is i'd rather see beyonce than lincoln park
10:32i don't care what you guys so snoop dogg is is in my golf foursome if i got three guys
10:39to go
10:39golfing with i could pick anybody on the planet snoop is one dion's on there then i don't know
10:44who's number three i'll tell you what dion is awesome dion and snoop together oh i've gone
10:50fishing with dion and the conversations that he has if you were to be on the golf course or just
10:54going fishing with them are ridiculous they're awesome all right finally dante moore is out for
10:59the season with a concussion should more return to college again he does have another year of
11:04eligibility and if so should he play for oregon or play somewhere else all right a lot of different
11:11ways you can answer this question i think the best decision for him he is still projected to be a
11:18first round quarterback and the other quarterbacks in this draft haven't had great seasons either so i
11:25would say go to the nfl if he decides to stay i'll give you two options one kentucky will stein
11:34the offensive coordinator that's he's comfortable in that offense he had success in that offense
11:40but the other one let's bring him home baby michigan state oh moron way to ruin it you knew i
11:49was
11:49going with it too fitzgerald could change everything with that cbs has him as a late
11:56first boy has his draft stock fallen stay at oregon raiola stinks there's no reason they should go with
12:03him next year stay at oregon this is the argument for why you go when your stock is high even
12:09though
12:09there's examples of it where it has worked for some people most of the time it doesn't not i'll tell
12:14you one guy that really hurt himself way back in the day and john can probably relate tyrone wheatley
12:18killed his draft value yeah returning and as attractive as kentucky would be they are seven
12:23and one their qb has a year left of eligibility it probably isn't going to happen at kentucky uh
12:28okay would you rather upgrade i understand i mean you always say this all the time well yeah just
12:34because he's good doesn't mean he's the best better yeah boy this is a contentious thursday touchdown
12:4097 one
12:41you
