Smith will be dominate for us. If you look at this year for the Browns he is doing includible work. Now he's on a Superbowl contender I feel like Smith will be so motivated that he can make a lot of great plays. Plus he's older so he knows how to do it and train this younger core.
What I like about Brad is that he has an eye for a diamond in the rough player, and from what im guessing, he might still try to get another player from practice squads, so who knows we will have to wait and see
I love the Smith trade. Just generate pressure. Paschal should be back soon and is a rotational player with Smith. This should help the pass rush for sure. Holmes has found some genms in the later drafts round but most players after teh 4th round have been rotational and depth players.
I'm satisfied. Still wanted azeez in addition but I'm good. Not sure we have secured a Super bowl but I feel closer than I was a few days ago. I wonder if he will play against the Texans? Holmes has proven himself to be a demigod when it comes to talent evaluation and aquistion. I dunno if its enough but its a try at least.
I agree this is the best Lions team, at least in my day. (Watching since 76) BUT to say KC doesn’t have a running game may be an understatement since they now have Hunt back. Also they have a great D and of course Mahomes. More worrisome to me are the Ravens. They have everything, now improved D, and something no one else has….Jackson. He is a problem and we can’t seem to stop QB’s that want to run. Also the Eagles are scary good on both sides of the ball. If the 49ers ever get healthy they will have something to say about who goes to the SB. Also, those Packers will be healthy next time we play them and to me they are even with Philly. Can’t wait to play them at home! Did Holmes do enough? Well I don’t think some of the teams you mentioned were going to give those players away to us. The deal he got for Smith is outstanding. Also don’t forget that Holmes and Campbell want not only a talented player but one that fits in. That is just as or more crucial for them. Can you imagine if they bring a cancer into that room? No way. I trust that he will bring in the right player. Also, next year we have to pay some of our own so we have to leave room for them on the cap. I can’t imagine someone else doing a better job in 4 years than Holmes has done. That said I know if the right guy was available that he would do everything to make the trade happen. We didn’t get that additional help so I trust it wasn’t there or not in our best interest. 100% trust what he has done. Go Lions!!!!
Yes I agree it doesn't matter about how many yards you put up it's can you score (field goals) and score big (touchdowns). Teams are finding out it isn't easy to do both of those things against your record making,record breaking DETROIT LIONS. I can see it already Za and Aiden next season defending our already in the bag super bowl championship as we reach for back to back Titles.😆
Yes, Brad Holmes did enough with the signing of Za’Darius Smith. Brad Holmes will trade for players by giving up draft picks, but I believe he absolutely.HATES to do that. The losses of Marcus Davenport and Aiden Hutchinson to season ending injury really hurt. Brad Holmes did just enough to plug a gaping hole in our defense. We are still weak at the DE position. I am sure that Brad Holmes tried to obtain a DE2 to improve the team, but the long-term cost would have been just too high for him to accept it. he has decided to roll the dice because he believes the defense is good enough to win the Super Bowl. If he’s wrong, he will try to fix that during the off-season.
You can’t say what this pick will mean, before seeing it in action . This might be more productive than with Aiden because it will spread out the production. All edges do things differently and have different abilities. There’s know doubt that when Aiden gets back it will be a gruesome twosome . I wanted Walker because of his age , but in a way I think this might start off better .
Asking a question to lions fans if they think 1 move is enough wouldn’t be “doubting” in my opinion. But if you watched the whole show you’ll hear me say I plan on being in New Orleans come February

Za'Darius is going to look really good alongside of Hutchinson next season! GO LIONS!!!
And Davenport
Well the nice part is we still have two very talented DTs that will take eyes off of smith.
Thank you Sheila for taking over the franchise
Start planning the gold statues of Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell for outside Ford Field ... THEY'RE BRINGING A CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE DETROIT LIONS!!!
Let's Go Lions!!!!
Multiple. And I'm not a slappy. Real talk, they're going to win multiple superbowls.
Dynasty
If not this year, it will be next season. When Smith and Hutch is on the field together and he draft another edge for the rotation
BRAD has been awesome.. the reinforcements are coming from inside.. many players returning from injury... the D will be much deeper come playoffs

I think smith will play vs Houston
I believe we could have got another guy to help the pass rush. Brad is smart and I have always believed in him so I will now.
You think we could have or you should have liked us to? I trust that a deal wasn’t there or Brad would have done it.
Smith is a great piece of business & I think he will do good numbers for us this year & work well with hutch

As we lose Ben Johnson, AG. You take the reigns when you can. If we don't win this year, next year could look a lot different.

Yes 👏🏽
Yes we’re going to win the Super Bowl
You podcasters should move on and start Trusting the Moves that Brad is doing he is a master of picking people I trust in the Lions
Never said I didn’t trust Brad. Just shows me maybe you didn’t actually watch the episode and you just stopped by with a dumb comment. 🏆
KC has players on the way back.
Dude I just starting liking your channel and NOW your saying you wanted more wtf
Just because I wanted another piece doesn’t mean I don’t believe this team can’t win it all
We can beat kc. Can we beat the referees?
This guy Steve sucks the air outta any party with his dry commentary and constant doubting.
😂
