00:00Say it again.
00:01What harm does it do to keep Enrique on the roster?
00:08What good does it do to keep him on the roster?
00:10He can't play, can't get on the field, what do you give it him for?
00:13But if he's healthy and he can, what's the problem in seeing what he can do if he's healthy?
00:17If he's not healthy, I would tend to agree with you.
00:19If he's hurt, if he can't go through training camp, if he can't go through training camp,
00:24then I wouldn't be surprised if they waived him.
00:26But if he's healthy...
00:28No, cut him.
00:29If you're not playing by your rookie and second year and third year, you ain't done it.
00:35But if it's because...
00:36If you can't play because you don't have the talent, that's one thing.
00:39If you're not playing because you're injured and you still have him under contract, why
00:43not take a look and see if he can still do it if he's healthy?
00:46Because you can go out and you can sign another player out there.
00:50Well, they signed other players to bolster this defense.
00:55You...
00:56Okay, Mark, you bring in...
00:57Mark, why didn't Brad Holmes go out there and sign Chase Young?
01:01A one-year deal he signed with New Orleans for $14 million.
01:05Man, that is beautiful to get Chase Young.
01:08Now you got somebody opposite Aiden Hunter to let defense alive.
01:12And plus, you should have just...
01:14Brad Holmes should have drafted Darius Robinson.
01:17That big, massive defensive end had Aiden have sex down there in Missouri.
01:23But didn't they need a corner, though?
01:25I mean, if they signed two terrible cornerbacks, traded for one and signed one, then wouldn't
01:29they need to draft one?
01:31Look, you should have took a corner in the second and the third round.
01:35Well, they did take a corner in the second round.
01:37It took one in the second.
01:38There's only one corner I know in the NFL in the last two years that was drafted.
01:43That's South Garden that did well.
01:45Majority of the corners did not do well in their first year.
01:49It wasn't the first round?
01:51Wow.
01:53David, I hope that you've gotten through to the Lions and maybe they can take some of
01:59this advice, but I got to tell you, Brad Holmes, you've been complaining about him for years
02:03and he seems to have built the best Lions team we've seen in our lifetime.
02:09No, this is not the case.
02:11You guys, look at him.
02:12He took Jamir Gibbs in the first round.
02:16I know, and wasn't he great?
02:18Wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:20Let's go back to the premise.
02:22I would have given up my third and fourth and fifth round, and even the following year
02:28I would have gave up a third round if necessary to get Jamir Gibbs.
02:31I think he's that good.
02:33David, let's go back to the premise.
02:36You don't think last year's Lions team was the best Lions team you've seen in your lifetime?
02:43I would say that was good.
02:47They did because I said, for me to stop criticizing them, being so critical of the Brad Holmes
02:54in life, they had to win the playoff game, and they did.
02:57They won two.
02:58But this year, you've got to win the Super Bowl, Lions.
03:02Thank you, David.
03:06David really doesn't like Brad Holmes.
03:08Really doesn't.
03:10Now, I am very much encouraged by Enrique.
03:13And if he stays healthy, the thing about cutting him is you don't gain anything by cutting him.
03:23You gain nothing.
03:24I mean, the guy's healthy.
03:26This is what you've been waiting for is a healthy Levi Enrique.
03:29If he's healthy, which he is, great.
03:32Let's see what you can do now, big fella.
03:34And hopefully it's awesome.
03:36By all accounts, the first week of training camp, they really like what they see from Levi Enrique.
03:42There's nothing to be gained.
03:44There is a chance that they can get somebody better than him.
03:48And if they can, great.
03:50I don't need to see them keep Levi Enrique to have a great season.
03:53But it's like you've got this resource in-house that is showing as much promise as he ever has,
03:58and now David wants to cut him.
04:00Well, he didn't like that, didn't like Davenport, and wanted Chase Young.
04:04Chase Young's not a fit here.
04:06Chase Young is not a fit.
04:07I think that's the thing that's resounding, no, because he's not a fit.
04:12He doesn't fit what the Lions culture is.
04:14He doesn't fit the player that Dan Campbell wants
04:17and doesn't fit the type of player that Brad Holmes is looking for.
04:21He takes plays off blatantly.
04:25He underachieves.
04:27I think he's got all the talent in the world, and he just doesn't use it.
04:31He doesn't apply himself.
04:33He's like me in college or high school.
04:36At least you got your own scouting report.
04:41I know it, and I believe it.
04:4497-1 the ticket.
