00:00Jake Ritma a new addition to the fan here from Detroit

00:03Real quick chop if you're the Lions OC, are you running it?

00:08How are you balancing running versus throwing against the Cowboys defense? Well, that's a very good point because the first three games

00:13there was almost like this this

00:17Inability to commit to how good the running attack would be they struggled in the red zone and you finally saw

00:22The offense come together in that Monday night game against Seattle, and I also think with Ben Johnson

00:27Of course

00:28he's one of the more well-known offensive coordinators because he

00:30There was a lot of interest for him to be a head coach and he chose to come back to Detroit

00:34And I think and this is just one and one thought I have but I I honestly think each and every game

00:40He's got a little small list of whether it be trick plays or something up his sleeve and you saw that

00:47With the throwback pass from I'm on Ross st

00:49Brown to golf in the red zone and I have a little inclination and maybe this is just me thinking but I

00:54Swear he's gonna try and do something to right the wrong that was done to him at AT&T

01:07Yeah, look out for penny Sewell because in a big game last year against the Vikings on a big third down play

01:14There was a it was like a play action where he leaked the tackle out penny Sewell

01:17Who's one of the more athletic tackles and all the NFL for an easy catch it on a big play?

01:22and I just I just knowing Dan Campbell, obviously, we know how

01:27Aggressive he is and I think that's still talked about what happened a year ago at AT&T Stadium

01:33And they're gonna somehow

01:34Try to find a way to just you know

01:36Kind of a little tip of the cap to what went down last year. How different is their offense on the road verse at home?

01:44Yeah, it's interesting with Jared

01:45I think you start with Jared Goff because the knock on him has always been he's a he's an indoor cat and with

01:51The way the schedule

01:53Resulted this year the most of his games are played indoors

01:57And so I think you've seen when the Lions offense struggles oftentimes. It's in those outdoor games

02:02I mean they went to Chicago last year and just laid a complete egg that they had no business doing

02:07But in Arizona, he looked pretty good this year in in one of the road games this season

02:12But there wasn't that time where the offense didn't necessarily

02:16Step on the gas and go for the juggler, you know in that game

02:19They let Arizona hang around hang around and that's what's been kind of interesting about this Lions team is at three and one they just

02:26I still think there's a belief. They haven't played their best complimentary football
