70 is reporting
Mike Mr Ballen Kimber
Montgomery is also our emergency quarterback.
TRADE BIG MAC ARE YOU CRAZY!
We had 2 good seasons, now we're going down the shithole.
Awww we losing skip .dammit man
I love the content but how you talk drives me crazy! Why don't you speak in full sentences? The delivery is so hard to listen to as you over emphasize every other word
D Mo needs 10-12 touches
Gibbs needs 15-20 touches
And we win 90% of games !
It’s like losing our Mascot 😢
P
Skipper’s final play: “reporting for retirement!”
Brad doesn't draft based on position need. He drafts the best player available.
Now that everyone want the first pick to go to offense of line. He will provide get a edge to help Hutch
LOVE SKIP!
You gotta keep Monte.
The Pride loves Skip 70❤ One Pride Let's Go Lions
COACH 70 Reporting for Duty 🏈
#70
Keep monty
I would love to see #70 retired. Skipper brought a new type of enthusiasm for the O-line.
Why would we trade Alim? Sure we have Tyliek but we're likely losing DJ Reader. Big guys need downs off we need depth there more than anywhere else, getting rid of Alim would be a boneheaded call. Bring Lopez back and make sure we keep that core together.
To trade David Montgomery would be an idiotic move! Who do you replace him with? This organization would no longer have any respect or integrity. #OneGreed
OL edge and db is all that can make sense and only db if it’s a blue chip guy you just can’t pass on.
Thank you for EVERYTHING, Big Skip! We love you, Big Fella!🙏😇
IF THE LIONS REALLY WANT OUR 1ST SUPER BOWL WE SHOULD CUT BAIT WITH JARED GOFF TAKE THE HIT LIKE DENVER DID,DRAFT FERNANDO "josh allen" MENDOZA AND HOIST THE TROPHY IN 2028 OTHERWISE WE IN SUPER BOWL PURGATORY UNDER JARED GOFF UNTIL REST OF THE DECADE
skipper played to the best of his ability, and is a true definition of a "football player".
LIONS SUCK. Nothing has changed. 31 other teams add to their teams
Proctor is too slow. Stay away. Think about how easy it would be for a player as quick as Hutchinson to just blow by him. In Lion tradition they will draft an injured player, thus it will be McCoy DB from Tn. They can get him a little cheaper!
We couldn't get the value out of a Montgomery trade. he is more valuable as a player than trade bait. Yeah to Skipper.
We should subscribe to ur channel if we think it’s a smart idea to jump on a bomb? So we shouldn’t subscribe to your channel then? Dude these intro mantras make no sense at all😂 think about stuff before you say it Omaha steaks
