all right now it's time for dynamic Duos presented by NFL Sunday tiet on YouTube TV and we are talking about a couple of running backs I did not create this segment for what you sure that this our producers did this without my knowledge although I definitely co-sign on it as you had already said earlier this show field let's talk about the Detroit Lions running backs because I'm not sure that we're going to have two potential top 25 Running Backs from the same team again this year last year you looked at potentially Divine aan and rahee moart I don't think Raheem moart gets there this year but I do believe that jir Gibbs and David Montgomery can be absolutely lights out fantastic Lions have had two top 20 running backs in backto back Seasons field is there any reason and I realize what this means but is there any reason why they couldn't do that again this year with their offensive line and what these two guys bring to the table now it's normally kind of tough to chase some of the outliers that we have seen from Detroit in back-to-back season I'm not talking about as much jir Gibbs As I Am David Montgomery who took over the Jamal Williams role where it's basically factor in the passing game but absolute Hammerhead at the goal line and yet the Lions have this Elite offensive line they have a quarterback who is not going to run the football so there's no threat of like a three-yard quarterback sneak any quarterback can execute a one-yard quarterback sneak if they have the football at the 6 inch line but yeah David Montgomery should push comfortably for 225 250ish carries and the chance for 10 touchdowns is definitely in play as well much more so than I think the average running back has 10 touchdown upside and which Amir Gibbs it's been said several times and um I I I think that sometimes when you hear players talk about these aspirational goals during the offseason you have to be like I you have to be aware of the fact that of course every athlete has confidence right but like um on the same offense I think I saw that Jameson Williams wants to lead the league in like receptions and receiving yards I hope he does but receiving yards and receiving touchdowns he doesn't care how many receptions he has okay which is awesome but like I'd also be happy if we just got like a nice consistent season from Jam C I'd be pumped right when J Gibbs talks about the possibility of doing something like a thousand and a thousand or like being a 1,000 yard rusher and like a 700 yard receiver I think it's within his bag absolutely I'm super confident the player let's not forget that last year it took a while for them to unleash jir Gibbs and for those of us who had drafted him as our starting running back in deep League like I did war League champions to find much name after after say it for you no problem but the is I I did it because of the potential and what you saw hints of during the preseason but there was this hesitancy and it sounded like the Lions Dan Campbell would talk about they they wanted him to get adjusted to being in the NFL they were bringing him out slowly and then once they took the top off the bottle it was unbelievable what he did so when you look at his stats at the end of the year you have to keep in mind that they were holding him back a little bit to start the season and much more rotation with David Montgomery I think one of the best stats for Montgomery if you're wondering about him field alluded to it with all the touchdown potential he was fourth in the league with Russia inside the 5 yard line he was so when they are close that's who they're going to jir Gibbs is not that guy fourth in Rush inside the five fourth in rushing touchdowns last year tied with uh Gus Edwards only three other people in front of him because total yeah just 16 catches from Monty last year which again you're not typically looking for running backs who that like is a reasonable expectation again because they have jir Gibbs and Jared gof has I'm mon St Brown Sam La pora maybe a breakout season for J Etc um but because of the touchdown equity for David Montgomery I think it's in play here I also and Stefania I'll let you take it from here um it does not sound like there is injury concern for jir Gibbs going into week one after missing sometime in the preseason yeah he listed with the hamstring injury and again we don't know the severity you know in the preseason they really don't have to tell us much about it but they were holding him out of practice as teams often do when it's the preseason they don't want it to turn into something bigger back in practice this week no uh question about his status for this week's game I I saw during Dan Campbell's press conference I think it was Sunday or Monday that there was only player who was iffy only one and it was ify it was iffy yeah that was yest if is ify but other than that jir Gibbs Sam La pora who both missed time because of hamstring issues both expected let me ask you two questions here field what is g do you think it's in the possibility like the range of outcomes jir Gibs finish as rb1 this season yes it's in the range of outcomes you know again being in the range of outcomes does not mean it's a guaranteed by any stretch just means it's a non-zero chance I think the way that it get I think here's the way it gets there is while Christian mcaffry was by far by far the best running back in Fantasy last season his receiving relatively speaking was modest he had only and this is ridiculous only 67 catches oh my gosh if Jamir Gibbs gets the 85 catch treatment this year right he does not need 250 carriers to go along with along with it if you turn 85 catches into 812 yard and six touchdowns as a running back that's a real path towards potential rb1 season yes totally with you on that all right so let me like say more yeah I'm I'm just keep just keep giving it to me I'm fine with that let me ask you this if David Montgomery were to miss time I don't know that jir Gibbs would Vault up that much higher in his rankings because we already have him as basically a top seven you at least a top 10 running back on a weekly basis jir Gibbs miss his time David Montgomery all of a sudden becomes what a top 12 guy yeah they right on that top 12 Mark so you think about like guys like Travis etn like is peo Derrick Henry J Jacobs like that's about the range I think you get to for David Montgomery either way this is one of the best Duos of running backs in the NFL both of these guys are absolutely fantastic yeah
