moving on the NFC who what won't you handicap that one for me here as we're about a month out Jason what do you think I'm so excited to see the Houston Texans on the AFC side I wanted to get that in because that's my first game Houston and Indie the NFC side yeah NFC side all we're talking about is the Dallas Cowboys and obviously with everything we're going on with Jerry Jones and we're talking about Dak Prescott not being paid CD lamb Michael Parsons that is taken away I feel like from so many other teams like the green Packers and the Detroit Lions of teams that are coming off fantastic years and the Lions is is a team that I want to see as they've been in a ball this morning in the Giants practice as that's going on not far from me at their Stadium but the Detroit Lions you think about what they were able to do last year and that was coming in with all the pressure and everybody talking about how good of a team they were going to be with all the additions they had and Dan Campbell now this team finally had the culture that he wanted and they lived up to the expectations and I remember last year Dan Campbell said after they lost that game was it's so hard to get back and there's no guarantee that you're going to get an opportunity to do so but I look at this team and what they're made up of and as you know I'm watching receiver on Netflix and Al and Ross St Brown his attitude and the way he attacks the games and just his work ethic I think that's the character of that entire team and he's a guy that they show on there where he doesn't get selected from to the Pro Bowl and he said he probably wasn't as mad is when he got drafted as late as he did but he was really pissed off and I feel like that's the way I would describe the entire Detroit Lions team is they're always pissed off so even with the success they had last year and Jared go Contin to play at an extremely high level I think they still approach this season pissed off and they just continue to get better and better I don't think they're team that's going to fall by the way side because they had success last year and they didn't know how to handle it I think they're still hungry and I think they're a team in the NFC who I would say is my favorite right now to come out okay that's Jason that has been a widely held belief by um most every everybody we've had on in the last week plus is that the line like Daniel Jeremiah you know our buddy said you know when I asked him last year give me give me the NFC team that will go further this year than they did last year he said the Lions and he got upset with me because you know that forced him to reveal a Super Bowl pick at the end of July you know what I mean like he got he's like don't make me do this but uh I mean a lot of people are high on the lines hugely so right now yeah and they deserve it especially with the additions they made on the defensive side of the ball because that's where they were lacking some and they' brought in a guy like teron Arnold in the secondary to help them they brought in my guy uh Carlton Davis from Tampa Bay a guy who plays a lot of manto man to help them on that defensive side of the ball and hopefully take them to the next level where they're finishing the game to get to the Super Bowl did you hear quinon Mitchell the rookie out of Toledo in Philadelphia apparently is told both Devonte Smith and AJ Brown that their routes were and all that basically did you hear that he said that I saw that I saw the guys are welcoming the trash talk coming from The Young cornerback and playing that position you got to love that because that is a position on the football field that you have to have the ultimate confidence because no matter what especially for him you're talking about AJ Brown Devonte Smith these are two of the best receivers in the NFL and you can argue top duo in the league alongside Miami and Cincinnati's Duo so you're getting a chance to compete against these guys every single day if he can go out there and confidently shut those guys down in practice I mean when you're going into the game there going to be like a cakewalk for him of seeing those two guys in one ones and seven on seven and throughout practice but you got to have that belief I remember talking to anas Williams when I was probably in my second or third year in the league I can't remember I was at a Super Bowl in Indianapolis this was 2010 and he came up to me and he was asking me about my when I'm playing corner he say you're impress technique you get up to the line of scrimmage what's going through your mind are you thinking man I hope this guy doesn't beat me on the nine route on a go ball or are you thinking man it's gonna be hell for him to try to catch any type of pass on me and that to me is the difference when you're playing that position of the guys that are ultimately extremely good and get into that great and possibly Hall of Fame fashion of where guys you have that are just good players and they may be consistent they play at a decent level but those guys that walk up to that line scrimmage with that that mindset is this going to be hell for you to beat me or the guys that think get to that Elite level catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free
