And while it\u2019s hard not to agree with many of those assessment, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell gave a very sarcastic response to the trade, offering a stark reminder: nobody has won anything yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean good for them. I mean, they\u2019ve won it now, right?\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n
Now before Rams and LA fans go rushing to make this bulletin board material, Campbell did obviously give Garrett some praise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, he\u2019s a hell of a player. Verse is a hell of a player, and they\u2019re two totally different players, but that was what they felt like they needed to do and good for them,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n
While this may come across as dismissive of the trade, it fits Campbell\u2019s long-time viewpoint that they aren\u2019t concerned about what other teams are doing, they\u2019re focused on themselves.<\/p>\n
Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing was a little more affirming of the move. He\u2019s seen first-hand the kind of carnage Garrett can deliver, as the two were together in Cleveland from 2020-22 when Petzing served as the tight ends coach and quarterbacks coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw it firsthand, he\u2019s a great player,\u201d Petzing said. \u201cKind of like the guys we talked about on this offense, I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s a weakness in his game. He does so many things at such a high level, plays with such violence, so great player.\u201d<\/p>\n
Petzing also made a quip that while the Rams aren\u2019t on the Lions\u2019 schedule this year, he\u2019s hoping Detroit gets a crack at them, alluding to a potential playoff matchup.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know right now he\u2019s not on the schedule, so I hope we\u2019re playing him this year,\u201d Petzing said.<\/p>\n
Many Lions fans have shown frustration that Detroit seems unwilling to get in an arms race by making an aggressive trade like this one. Campbell was subsequently asked what it would take for Detroit to make an \u201call-in\u201d move like the Garrett trade.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I guess I would tell you when that time happens,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n
Safe to say, Campbell really didn\u2019t want to talk about this topic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And while it\u2019s hard not to agree with many of those assessment, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell gave…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[153,1889,7],"class_list":["post-910626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-detroit-lions-news","tag-detroit-lions-quotes","tag-football"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116697453239222376","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
