I have been giving Chris credit for this thing for a year. He came in and fixed the culture. A good man advising a good owner. They both want to win. Thank you Chris for all you have done to turn this thing around.
Chris Spielman goes from a walk on every year to advising the owner? I believe that was the smartest thing Shiela could've ever done. I loved Chris when he played bleeding every game and now i love him for his team he's building
I had a feeling something was gonna change when they brought Spielman back to Detroit. The guy eats breathes and sleeps football and loves this franchise IMO he’s the catalyst behind the culture change
Shella Ford said it herself in that series . She said herself that the first thing she did was hire Chris and she said" that was prob the best thing we ever did was hire him"
I love the lions I’ve been hoping for the lions to come alive for many many years we lived in Detroit and moved to Chicago in the sixties but still love the lions and hate the bears packers and Vikings and the silly Americas team the Dallas cowgirls !!!!! Go,Go Go Lions!!!!
I am a Detroit News subscriber. I went and read the Chris Speilman interview. Man, what a good person to have in the organization. After reading what he said, I feel even better about the direction this team is headed. The things the Lions are doing are changing what other teams are doing. People... believe in Shiela Hamp, she wants a winner and won't stop until she gets there (and beyond.) I don't know if they will win, I just know they are not doing the same things that didn't work for the last 60 years, change has come. This isn't the same old Lions.
True, we don't hear much about CS but he's very involved with Sheila Hamp from what I understand and has been fundamental of getting Brad Holmes by introducing him to her. All this success starts at the top
After reading that Spiellman piece my respect (and confidence) in the Lions is officially at an all time high. It's a good feeling to know our beloved team is in good hands, and this is just the beginning. Go Lions!!!
The thing about Chris just putting his head down going to work staying in his lane ( whatever that is) is a show of Leadership at its highest level. Not the 🖐 hi I did this or that guy !!
54 was the only Lions Jersey I ever bought. I just remember Spielman's blue collar interviews after the game at his locker. Just composed, matter of fact, talking honestly about the win/loss. He wasn't fake. Then I found this video. Holy smokes. Can't imagine drafting Carter after watching Spielman's work ethic in this video: th-cam.com/video/vaVmKnPNboE/w-d-xo.html
Keep in mind, Tampa used to be a joke … the Saints used to be a joke … Seattle used to be a joke … all it took for them to turn things around was to put the right people in charge and do things the right way.
Florio is out of his element when talking about pro personnel, as is his co-host. He should stick to the contracts and legal issues surrounding the NFL, at which he excels. I'm a huge Chris Spielman fan, who I always thought was one of the best color analysts out there when he was doing it. Kudos to him for his drive, approach and character. Thanks for the good stuff! Go Lions!
Shella Ford said it herself that her and Rod sat down and they felt they needed to hire Chris and they did so and ""we hired Chris first thing and it was prob the best Hire this organization has ever made"" that the 3 of them sat down and came up with a plan and who to hire GM, HC etc....Chris had the most input out of the 3 all shella said was it was apparent that a culture change was needed but it was Chris who had all input to put that and then some in place and into action. I was surprised he wasn't the GM. I'm happy with Holmes and the job he's doing but don't be surprised if things go south and Holmes leaves or gets fired that Chris don't take over as GM . I believe this is another reason he's getting front office face time so he learns the way of the ropes and I think basically he's awaiting in the wings to be next GM but for now he's learning and observing . I mean let's face it ...Holmes is great but nothing lasts forever so one day he will move on and that's when Chris will take over
I've wanted Jack Campbell at linebacker PRIMARILY because he reminds me of Chris Spielman. He was both underrated and exceeded all expectations. I suspect Jack Campbell can do the same.
He might be the reason other than Sheila that we are where we are. He was the first hire of Sheila’s. He was probably the tone setter while hiring the coaching staff.
Love Chris Spielman. Holmes. Campbell. Sheila Ford Hamp. Not Rod Wood, not at all. I credit him with Quintricia, with alienating Calvin Johnson, firing Jim Caldwell. Sheila Hamp is the key to hiring Holmes and Campbell. Rod Wood is out of his depth.
J-Rog is funny - took him 8 minutes to say “the Lions won’t draft Jalen Carter because he doesn’t fit their culture”. I think it’s obvious - whether you like the player or not, he won’t be a Lion. They could very well draft Richardson if he’s there. They have one QB on the roster right now, and Holmes is on record saying they need to do a better job with the back-up QB spot or spots this offseason. Maybe they are targeting somebody specific later in the draft (Hooker or O’Connell) but i think if AR-15 is there, they probably pick him. GO LIONS
You're mistaken. The signing of gardener 100% proves that we are now in win-now mode, and if you're in a win-now way, you take players who can come in and contribute immediately, not someone who's going to sit behind someone for two years. We are a million percent isn't taking Richardson nor any quarterback in the first four or five pics
Committment and drive? Your very narrow judgement is being made at a time that, anyone going through what Jalen Carter is now going through, it can be seen as difficult and it's hard to know in these circumstances how his performances, let alone his state of mind is right now. Thinking of that I looked deeper and based upon commentary from the Georgia coaching staff his mentality is totally selfless with winning the first goal. I don't know if Detroit even has a chance to select him at 6 but if he's there I hope they take him. The Suh comparisons make me think he'll be the kind of guy that will push against the norm but will always be a force on the field.
I'd definitely rather stick with off then go for Lamar Jackson I love golf attitude and I think he's only on the up he's only going to get better from here on out
Anthony Richardson would not be good for Detroit, why would we step Backwards, you can get worse at QB easier than get better and Richardson is a bad pick for any NFL team. As a QB he makes a better track Star.
Not only that, but the signing of gardener tells us there and win mode now no answer thoughts about it, so you don't take a quarterback at six or even 18 to sit behind and learn for a couple of years they're in a win-now mode so they need players that can contribute immediately
@ZombieSlayer313 Might be a better use of his talents but are you prepared to give up 2 number 1 picks and payout 250 million for a guy that had missed 10 games the past 2 years.
Lamar is not a team player all me me me Jared is a. Better quarterback just. Look at the facts been to super bowl 25years old 1st pick of draft in his. Prime
I have been giving Chris credit for this thing for a year. He came in and fixed the culture. A good man advising a good owner. They both want to win. Thank you Chris for all you have done to turn this thing around.
you can't blow smoke up Chris like Millen did with WCF or Quinn with MarthVader

Spielman was Sheila's first and best hire period all other hires soon followed with his name on itdan Holmes all of them came from Spielman hire
Bringing Spielman in was the day everything changed.
Could not agree with this more. It’s everything.
Literally 🦁
Yes I believe he is a giant reason as to why we're doing so good in all aspects
Yessssssss😊
I love the lions I’ve been hoping for the lions to come alive for many many years we lived in Detroit and moved to Chicago in the sixties but still love the lions and hate the bears packers and Vikings and the silly Americas team the Dallas cowgirls !!!!! Go,Go Go Lions!!!!

Where can I find Miss Chris Spielman article
Thank god I’ve been waiting for this video for so long the real brains behind this whole operation is one Chris spielman
Agreed
True, we don't hear much about CS but he's very involved with Sheila Hamp from what I understand and has been fundamental of getting Brad Holmes by introducing him to her. All this success starts at the top
Yess
Huge Chris Spielman fan. He is a class act.
After reading that Spiellman piece my respect (and confidence) in the Lions is officially at an all time high. It's a good feeling to know our beloved team is in good hands, and this is just the beginning.
Go Lions!!!
Where can I find that article
@@Whispering.Graves Detroit free press
Spielman and Barry Sanders are my 1a/1b favorites of all time.
Same here
Spielman has been a un-praised force in the new Lions.
The thing about Chris just putting his head down going to work staying in his lane ( whatever that is) is a show of Leadership at its highest level. Not the 🖐 hi I did this or that guy !!
I've been waiting for over 50 years
GO LIONS
He has been a superstar on and off the field just a class act who’s extremely intelligent and I believe is Martha’s top advisor
About time someone talked about Chris. Good episode Matt!
I’ve been sayin it all along, this team has Speilmans finger prints all over it!!!
Chris is the mastermind. what a wonderful passionate guy. Thanks for coming home, Chris.
I've been wanting Spielman in control of this franchise for a long time! He's doing a better job than I expected!! Faster anyway!!
Just ate a gummy and spent 10 minutes trying to figure out where Justin’s hair stops and the painting begins
Goosebumps man. Love this
Someone buy this man a comb!😂
Glad Justin could look so professional on camera.
are you being facetious ? otherwise no one cares,
54 was the only Lions Jersey I ever bought. I just remember Spielman's blue collar interviews after the game at his locker. Just composed, matter of fact, talking honestly about the win/loss. He wasn't fake.
Then I found this video. Holy smokes. Can't imagine drafting Carter after watching Spielman's work ethic in this video: th-cam.com/video/vaVmKnPNboE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks good video
Thanks for this I was wondering where I can find it
Keep in mind, Tampa used to be a joke … the Saints used to be a joke … Seattle used to be a joke … all it took for them to turn things around was to put the right people in charge and do things the right way.
Exactly good point
What does Chris spielman think about the Lions may be drafting Iowa linebacker Captain Jack Campbell
Spiel an is the heartbeat of the Lions

That's a very good point something I noticed that we never used to do is preparing for the future before we even need it
Goff has proved his worth and he knows his team and system. I believe he’s only improved since coming to Detroit. Credit the coaches.
I've wanted Jack Campbell at linebacker PRIMARILY because he reminds me of Chris Spielman. He was both underrated and exceeded all expectations. I suspect Jack Campbell can do the same.
He might be the reason other than Sheila that we are where we are. He was the first hire of Sheila’s. He was probably the tone setter while hiring the coaching staff.
Love Chris Spielman. Holmes. Campbell. Sheila Ford Hamp.
Not Rod Wood, not at all. I credit him with Quintricia, with alienating Calvin Johnson, firing Jim Caldwell.
Sheila Hamp is the key to hiring Holmes and Campbell. Rod Wood is out of his depth.
Sheila Ford Hamp identified Chris Spielman as a key hire herself 👍🏽
Hi, I'm new here. Recommended by Derek from Detroit Lions Syndicate.
love the show matt
Got to have Justin Rogers on as a regular guest and friend of the show please
Good show
Had a few beers with him, great guy.
Chris Speilman has a great mind for football, politics , not so much !
Speilman was crucial. Shirley hired him. I’m so happy they found each other.
Apparently Justin Rogers inspiration for his hairstyle comes from his paintings lol
Classy guy!
Roger's is insane. He doesn't know about carter but he's enamored with Richardson that's insane
Red solo cup lets gooo! 13:55
Why does Justin always looking like he just woke up from a bender ...
bringing the grunge back. It's purposeful. Couldn't possibly look worse.
He’s a legend
Man I was thinking the same thing when I saw his mug pop on the screen 😂😂😂
Someone tell Justin to be more aware of his background. That painting makes him look like his brain has exploded all over the back wall.
Bahahaha😂
Yes, I want them to pick Bijan Robinson! Thank you for the great show!
J-Rog is funny - took him 8 minutes to say “the Lions won’t draft Jalen Carter because he doesn’t fit their culture”. I think it’s obvious - whether you like the player or not, he won’t be a Lion.

But I do think if we're going to sign a quarterback it would be in later rounds and I do believe you're right it would probably be a hooker

Agreed
I agree with justin. Carter just doesn't fit into the mold of detroit
Don't listen to him. Do a little bit of research and read what his college coaches said about him, and you'll find that he would be a good fit for us
Too bad about Carter.
I'd definitely rather stick with off then go for Lamar Jackson I love golf attitude and I think he's only on the up he's only going to get better from here on out
If anyone needed mentoring
JR “pressure of the job”? You’re writing about sports, not doing neurosurgery! Perspective, Dude
Anthony Richardson would not be good for Detroit, why would we step Backwards, you can get worse at QB easier than get better and Richardson is a bad pick for any NFL team. As a QB he makes a better track Star.

I wish Chris would get rid of the grey pajamas.
Ima have to unfollow you if you say that again lol
Trade Okuda at trade deadline
Chris Spielman has to be the reason Alex Anzelone is still a Lion...
Get outta here man Lamar is not the great QB you say he is wtf man I
Goff has completely out played and out performed LJ over the past 24 games. JG is better than LJ.
@freeclimb here's an idea offer LJ a contract as our RB and get rid of swift him and Monty will be a bad ass team😂🤣
@ZombieSlayer313 Might be a better use of his talents but are you prepared to give up 2 number 1 picks and payout 250 million for a guy that had missed 10 games the past 2 years.
Exavtly
The Lamar Jackson talk is just plain idiotic 😂
Lamar is not a team player all me me me Jared is a. Better quarterback just. Look at the facts been to super bowl 25years old 1st pick of draft in his. Prime
Yes exactly finally someone with a brain
