Let’s just get right to it for it we go to the phones de you said Devin from iner yeah we got Devin from iner what’s up Deon from iner Devon appreciate you calling Big D energy what do you got for us all right Neil this my first call on

The first show so I got I gotta come with standards have to come with standards M quick question High quick question start cut or bench if you had the option to grab Ramsey because you noticed that the are on over the C would you start him bench him over sudden or

Bring iy back to that spot of corner to have him take over sudden as a cv1 all right and look Devin here’s here’s the thing for me I typically am against cornerbacks with cap hits of $33 million typically because that’s what his cap hit is this year so unless you

Can swing something where the dolphins are going to foot some of the bill then I I have 0% interest in that I would take everybody else you listed that is already on site and I’m not interested Sam flannel in $33 million to Jaylen Ramsey sorry yeah when it comes to

Jaylen Ramsey my thing is that if you’re going to grab a corner there are options in free agency that at least their Market values according to spot track are not 33 million and in the case of a couple of them were better than jayen Ramsey last year I don’t hate the idea

Because corner is a position of need for the Lions but I would tend to agree with you Neil 33 million for Jaylen Ramsey at this stage isn’t worth it because Deon you’re taking on two years at at $49 million at a with a guy that’s 31 and

And Devon I’ll ask you the question then because you you were kind enough to call in I’ll ask you to oh did you drop you cut off okay sorry well Deon I I’ll just pose a question out there are we in the business of 31 year old quarterbacks you

Know 30y old quarterbacks right now 2 years of 49 million I’m not no no there there’s better options in free agency for sure I like that that was good Devin you guys you guys talk Devon up Devon’s got gold card status already I like it yeah he good people uh we do have

Another caller just just so you know all right well who do we have uh we have Andrew what’s up Andrew Andrew thanks for calling Big D energy what do you got for us uh do you think the reason we don’t have a kicker is because of Dan Campbell’s coaching sty and he just

Doesn’t want he doesn’t like kickers no I I think I think the reason we don’t have a kicker is because when you get in those Waters like everyone’s like what’s Matt Prader doing I’ll tell you what Matt Prader was doing making $3 and5 million a year as a kicker $4

Million a year as a kicker now would would you say and look I know that ultimately they didn’t they ended up cutting Isaiah bugs like I know that but you had Isaiah bugs and Kaminsky for half of what Matt Prader cost you see what like when when you associate a

Value to it you said it was Andrew on the line Andrew when you associate a value to it you see what I’m saying there like that’s I I think badile was fine man for for what for what he is the percentage he made pretty much the kicks

He was supposed to I think he was fine all right thank you yeah you got it my friend appreciate it okay we’re off to a good start what’s your thought on that philosophy um I would agree with with pretty much everything you said and I think this idea that we didn’t have a

Kicker was a little bit overblown I thought badley did a perfectly fine job I mean you saw him make the vast majority of his field goals from 40 to 49 and even 50 plus and you saw him make a 54 y in the playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers I don’t think

Badgley’s Terrible by any means he’s fine f if if if I told you right now they’re going to run it back and badgley’s going to be the kicker I’d be like okay let’s go yeah and I know there’s some people that would be like oh my God how could you do something

Like that I am definitely not in that camp I mean during his time with the Lions he’s made nine of 11 from 40 to 49 and two of three from 50 plus and that doesn’t include the 50 plus yard that he hit in the playoffs against the

Buccaneers and I believe in the playoffs he was perfect on his field goal attempts so Badgley is fine he’s not Elite but given what we have he’s fine uh dtown heat says kickers are people to it and he guys and that’s that’s a great call by Andrew because I want to I do

Want to say this again all year long when we’ve talked about the Lions and I’ve talked about Brad Holmes there are things we have to get comfortable with Spencer raxter is a guy he’s comfortable with the golf situation because he knows it’s coming I am and you got two playoff

Wins we did and in the NFC Championship certainly golf was not the reason you lost that football game he wasn’t so as it stands when you’re fourth in the league in touchdowns and second in passing yards Spencer’s cool with that that’s production I am commensurate with the the money that’s being reported that

He will get he’s comfortable we have to get comfortable with how Brad Holmes operates in terms of what can Brad Holmes do with $4 million for a kicker he could he could get other positions of need like for example you talked about John Kaminsky and Isaiah

Bugs and I get it they weren’t exactly what you hope they would be this year I mean for different reasons Isaiah bugs when he played actually was pretty good but uh those are certainly players that together if if they were to give you what they are most capable of what

They gave you in 2022 would be well worth it over a $4 million kicker and like we said Michael badgley’s fine he’s not terrible by any means and here’s another way of thinking about this again just to make you comfortable with it when you talk about a $4 million kicker

That would pay for his roughly his fifth fourth fifth sixth and seventh round picks you like James Houston I do like G R st Brown you like BR the best of them all he’s pretty good you see what I’m saying like that’s what he could guys get comfortable get out of your Madden

Game get out of your fantasy draft and get in the real world here all right well in the case of kickers most certainly get in the real world I don’t think it’s the worst idea in the world to want a kicker though cuz we got a

Kicker I get it but what what issue did you have with Badgley he’s not consistent from 40 out and that’s where the league is going if you can’t hit 40 consistently see kg that’s where I go the other way because the league is that’s not where quote the league is

Going the league is going the other way because if it’s four four the math tells you well that’s true you’re going for it now but if your drive stalls out and you’re past the 50 you expect to have a kicker that can hit that that long of a

Distance right but if it’s Fourth and four fourth and three you’re going for it and you can do it and fail twice but on that third time you get the touchdown and you’re better off today’s kickers are hitting 50 55 yarders like easily now today’s expensive kickers Yes except

For the the guys on the rookie deals Jake Moody is an exam I know he was just drafted last year but that’s an example I mean it it’s don’t get me started on that one I feel you I feel don’t get me start you got henen hooker instead of J

Got the Dallas Cowboys guy he was a XFL kicker wasn’t he I mean there there’s exceptions there’s exceptions absolutely um and I haven’t looked at his contract situation but I would think he’s probably in line for a race oh yeah he was arguably the best kicker in the

League last year 31355 26322 look at that we haven’t even gotten to a topic yet but the the callers are on point you got the callers hanging up on themselves so I haven’t even done had to do anything all right see how how often does this happen in life when you’re

Married Sam flannel it never happens how often do you like you you lay out a plan and everyone executes it Man
