00:00So I mentioned that I think the Lions might have
00:03a backup plan or emergency plan in case something
00:05were to happen to say St. Brown or JMO.
00:08And that is Jameer Gibbs.
00:11They had Jameer Gibbs working out with the receivers
00:14early in training camp.
00:16We know that he can be a fantastic receiver
00:19out of the backfield, but he can line up in a slot,
00:21he can line up wide, whatever they need him to do,
00:23he can do it.
00:24And I feel like that's always that emergency situation
00:28they can use and then you still have Montgomery
00:31at running back who's obviously quite capable
00:33and you can elevate Vocky a little bit, the rookie.
00:37I think that would be like a succession plan.
00:40Would I rather have a bona fide wide receiver?
00:44Sure, and I'm open to it.
00:46And I've been open to this for a while now
00:48to try to improve the room.
00:50And really what you're looking to do is find an improvement
00:54or find someone that's gonna be as reliable
00:57as Josh Reynolds was during the regular season,
01:01as Josh Reynolds was.
01:04Even in the post-season,
01:05with the exception of the NFC Championship.
01:07Because he really was, he was very reliable,
01:12he was a big part of the team's success.
01:14Every time you threw it to him as a first down
01:16or a touchdown, it's just how it was.
01:19I mean, he was very good up until the last game of the year.
01:23Well, I think that's what the coaching staff
01:25is looking for.
01:25Brian Campbell has come out and said it straight up
01:28when asked, what are you looking for in a third wideout?
01:31Reliability.
01:32They want someone they can trust,
01:34someone they know that if they go to,
01:36other than the NFC title game,
01:38that they will catch the ball for a first down.
01:40I can't believe we have to keep saying that.
01:41But I mean, because that's the lasting image
01:43we have of Josh Reynolds.
01:44Because before that, he was really good at his role.
01:47It was money, caught everything.
01:49Touchdown or first down, right?
01:50Yes.
01:51That's what they want.
01:52They just want reliability.
01:54You don't have to be Jerry Rice.
01:56You don't have to be Justin Jefferson.
01:58Be reliable.
01:59I mean, it literally was a ridiculous rate, okay?
02:02He caught 40 passes last season.
02:0540.
02:0732 of them went for first downs.
02:08I don't know.
02:09That's unreal.
02:10He had 32 first downs, and he had five touchdowns.
02:14So you're gonna tell me 37 of his 40 receptions
02:16were for first down or touchdown.
02:19I don't wanna do the math on that,
02:21but that screams to me, it's above 90%.
02:24That's an amazing rate.
02:26That's how good he was for this team.
02:28He was situational.
02:29He needed those yards.
02:31There you go.
02:32Because you knew that, look, Ammaraz St. Brown
02:34is like the ATM.
02:35He's always open, and he's money.
02:38No problem with it.
02:39But you know what?
02:40Sometimes you gotta throw a change up.
02:42Ammaraz double teamed, that's okay.
02:44Here's Josh Reynolds coming open.
02:46They need to find a guy that's reliable like that,
02:48as long as you're not looking at the NFC Championship game.
02:52I have to say it every time, and it's not fair.
02:54Not fair to us, Kang.
02:55It's not fair.
