Would Daiyan Henley not have been a great addition to the Lions for a 4th and 5th Rd pick??? @JeffRisdon

Hey any clips from the game for Alim? Felt like he was a ghost and that can't happen going up against a backup center. Was he just getting double teamed every snap? @DetroitOnLion

Just a heads up I couldn't download the podcast from last night's post game. Here's the screen shot of the error in case anyone else is having the same issue. I'm using a 3rd part app Podcast Addict, so it may just be me. @JeffRisdon

@JeffRisdon thought I'd add some context to the "asymptomatic herniated disc" talk from yesterdays podcast for Mauigoa. It could have been an incidental finding. Meaning we don't know how long it's been there and it's not uncommon to find these types of discs when doing MRI's.

Specifically in the power lifting community, many of them will have herniated discs but have no symptoms and continue to train and lift the most heavy weights in the world with extreme power and speed. So the MRI findings alone isn't the end of the world...

That being said, the disc still has to be physically damaged in order to protrude or herniated, there for may be more susceptible to damage in the future. My point being MRI isn't always the end all be all test as most think.

Finally purchased my first pair of glasses in my life (age 38) so I said goodbye to these beauties today... Been wearing the same @CalvinKlein glasses for last 25 years (since 9th grade in 2000 I think?) and they still work! Don't worry they'll be in the cabinet as my backups!

Someone give that umpire a raise.

@JeffRisdon you said something on the podcast that I've been theorizing about a lot lately with Frank... You said something like it was really frustrating how Frank's situation was handled. Could you elaborate on that because its of my belief (connecting the dots) that...

... Frank drug out his retirement contemplation too long and left us out to dry and weren't able to draft his replacement. Love the podcast!

@IsItTheWelsh @JoePisapia17 next year for the HR competition I think there should be some benefit to picking different hitters... I.e. picking Judge/Ohtani every day of the season shouldn't be valued the same as picking Caminero/Raleigh/Marte/Acuna/Alonso/Rooker...

Maybe some form of elimination pool that resets the player pool each week? Or maximum amount of picks per player per season? Food for thought.

@erikschlitt so where did we go wrong on our analysis? Because after listening to your podcast and many others, and Vegas odds, etc... it seemed like we should've been in a position to win this game. But clearly we never were...

Was it simply we ran out of players? Amik injury the straw that finally broke the camels back?

@RyanWarmly 8 hitters for a batting lineup is unique rule change... Here's using your own argument against it: by removing the DH , which as you said is a specialized player only playing Half the game, you are creating another player that only plays half the game, the pitcher.

So if you're against having a specialized player that only hits and doesn't play the field, you should also be against a specialized player that only pitches and doesn't hit. That among other issues. :)

@erikschlitt loved the article on Chop... Probably one of the most difficult player to assess in the draft (skills vs production). Couple things I don't think painted a complete picture.

1. You said we don't have a player like him, don't we have James Houston who's exactly like him? 2. You didn't touch on his massive weakness in stopping the run and that teams would potentially choose to run at him whenever he's on the field. Thanks! (Also loving your podcast)

Dang I didn't know inflation was hitting you this @TimHortons ... Missing about half of the Maple dip on this one.

Tough look by the Herd...
If you’re looking for winners and losers in tonight’s trade. Consider this —Jared Goff goes from Sean McVay to Fred Flinstone. Won’t end well.

Replying to @DetroitOnLion
@DetroitOnLion something that has bothered me about Jamo and the coaches and good trusting him early on... And now again with the recent thoughts on very small mistakes throwing off our entire rhythm... Goff, Ben, and the team need to be more flexible when things aren't done 100%

correct. If a route isn't run to the exact yard they practiced, Goff needs to be able to adjust. If the route isn't broken off at exactly the correct angle make up for it with athleticism with a good throw. It just feels like our offense is limited on this capacity in the pass
