It's time for the podcast you've been waiting for. The show where Kool-Aid runs blue. Faces turn red. And rose-colored glasses never go out of style. This is... The Detroit Lions Podcast. Welcome, fellow Lions fans. I hope you guys all enjoyed the bi-week basking in that victory song. Unfortunately, most of the results did not go our way over the weekend. Somehow, our division rivals just keep winning. Minnesota Sam Darnold wasn't his usual MVP-level form, but he was good enough to get to 5-0. He beat Aaron Rodgers, who was his usual MVP form. Now with his passing, as he had three INTs and looked terrible, we're talking about his MVP-level whining. We always knew his whining to rest cross-state lines, cross-time zones, travel from small towns to big cities, and was always completely independent of how shitty of a pass he just threw. But now we know his whining crosses oceans as he played an England last weekend. I'd respect this guy so much more if he would just shut the fuck up. Even my kids think he whined too much. Rodgers probably whined to get Robert Salah fired. There's a reason the Packers moved up in the draft to get Jordan Love in the first round. They were sick of your whiny ass and they needed some leverage to get you to shut up. There's a concept in the real world called Fuck You Money. It's when you have enough money to tell your boss, Fuck You, I don't need your job. Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay was the boss. He made 5-10 times as much as the coach and the GM after all. He was probably whining behind the scenes about this and that, so they got sick of listening to him bitching, so they drafted Jordan Love. Jordan Love was the Fuck You Money. Speaking of Jordan Love, the Packers beat the Rams despite a hilarious pick 6 by Jordan Love. Quarterbacks do stupid shit all the time. We know this. We've been Lions fans. We've seen Waloskey do this. We've even seen Stafford do this kind of stuff. Speaking of Stafford, why is it that Stafford looks like a Hall of Fame first ballot every time he plays us? When he plays the Packers, it looks like Ty Demore or Mike McMahon gagged and stuffed him in a locker and snuck on his jersey. In Bears Country, Caleb Williams looked good in destroying the Panthers. When I do take secret pleasure, the fact that if there was a redraft just 5 weeks into the season, the Bears would have taken an entirely different quarterback in the name of Jaden Daniels. Still really early though, so we'll see how it all works out. Last time, Washington drafted Guy #2 overall. It was RG3, who was amazing at first, but ended his career with over 5,000 fewer career passing yards than Joey Harrington. And over 7,000 fewer passing yards than Rodney Peat. I had high hopes for Rodney Peat. He was the original #9 QB before Stafford. I'm Jimmy Leau, University of Michigan Medical School grad, board certified in family medicine, lifelong Lions fan. This is the medical edition, the Troy Lions podcast. Before I get to the game preview this week, I'm going to start with some other news from around the league. This involves the Guardian cap and not in the way you might think. Jabril Peppers was suspended by the NFL indefinitely. He was charged with assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a Class B substance believed to be cocaine. Jabril, you went to Michigan. You're embarrassing me and Tom Brady here. The shocking thing isn't that he went to Michigan, but that he wears a Guardian cap during the games. Somehow, he's so worried about hurting his brain that he wears a Guardian cap. But he's also out there before the game dealing cocaine or using cocaine or probably both. Jabril, that doesn't make any sense, bro. Alright, now let's move on to this week. The Lions get a rematch in one of the NFL's newest fiercest rivalries. Wait, hold on. Never mind. Fears Brad Allen won't be there, so I guess we're only playing the Cowboys this week. Let me talk about my cowboy game experience a couple years ago. I went to the Dallas Stadium, October the 23rd, 2022, so less than two years ago. This was just right before our big turnaround. We were swung in for entering the game. The Cowboys were so damn cocky coming in. I remember Dak Prescott hadn't hurt. He made a point of trying to be back specifically for this Lions game because he thought it would be an easy one against the Lions defense. Well, we ended up making it tough for him. We were about to take the lead in the fourth quarter. We were at the one-yard line, but Jamal Williams loved that guy, but he fumbled at the one-yard line when we were just about to take the lead, and we ended up losing the game. I've never been more pissed off at a game. We ended up dropping to one in five, and we were in the position for the number one overall pick at that time. When you need meal time inspiration, it's worth shopping Kroger for thousands of appetizing ingredients that inspire countless mouth-watering meals. And no matter what tasty choice you make, you'll enjoy our everyday low prices, plus extra ways to save, like digital coupons worth over $600 each week, and up to $1 off per gallon at the pump with points, so you can get big flavors and big savings. Kroger, fresh for everyone, fuel restrictions apply. Whether you're ordering wings for the game, whipping up a seven-layer dip, or ordering pizza, there's something about football that makes you want to eat. In this football season, Uber Eats has the best deals on game day food, or what you're craving, from two-for-one pizza to buy one-get-one wings. Uber Eats will be dropping new deals each week, all season long. Uber Eats, official on-demand delivery partner of the NFL. Order now, terms and conditions apply. See out for details. A lot has changed in two years. Now we're one of the best teams in the league, and we're three-point favorites entering this game. Other thoughts I had from that weekend, that stadium is halfway between Fort Worth and Dallas, so sort of out of the middle of nowhere. I took an Uber to the stadium, which was fine, but getting back from the stadium with an Uber is much more difficult if you guys have ever tried this before, because everyone's getting out at the same time. There is a Walmart just north of the stadium where a lot of people hang out, so I was hanging out there for a while, waiting for an Uber. I saw Amani Oria's family there. They were all wearing Oria Weary shirts. Interestingly, he's playing for the Cowboys now. I would recommend bringing some cash in case you're planning on taking an Uber and you get desperate for a ride. There are a lot of unofficial non-Uber drivers looking to pick up riders. If you have cash, you'll be able to get a ride a lot quicker. Now, the stadium itself is fine, but maybe not as nice as it's hyped up to be. That scoreboard is huge, and I didn't really actually like it. I was sitting in the upper deck at the time, and that scoreboard is just in front of your face and clogging up the entire airspace, and sort of clutters up the entire field. You can't even see the stadium or the stands across from you, so I didn't really like that big scoreboard right in the way there. I stayed in Dallas downtown at the time. It was a pretty interesting place, not the nicest downtown, but pretty close walking distance to a lot of things. It was interesting to see the JFK assassination location, even though that was before my time. The Pearl Museum of Science was fantastic. The Children's Aquarium was small but very good. They have a little fish pool there, where there's fish that will eat the dead skin off your hands. That was a pretty cool experience to have fish gnawing on your fingers. No, these weren't piranha, these were just tiny little fish, so no danger, unless you were in the pool for a very, very long time. Alright, let's get to the Cowboys game preview. This might be the fifth straight game where we have an injury advantage. I think we definitely have one here. We're getting most of our guys back who are not on IR anyway. The Cowboys just lost three key edge-rushers, so let's start with the Lions report. It's technically an estimate, but they've already had practice Monday and Tuesday, so there've already been two practices this week. The Ragnow, Peck Tear, as we know, two weeks ago, left Peck mild string. He's already logged two practices. He's got an FP full practice on Wednesday. He's ready to go, no concerns here. Brian Branch, who had a concussion three weeks ago and a mystery illness two weeks ago, has a full practice today. He's more than ready to go now. He's probably ready to go last week, no concerns with him. Christian Mahogany, good news, a full practice. His 21-day practice window started yesterday. He was practicing again for the first time since OTAs and the offseason. Remember, he did not practice at all throughout training camp or at all throughout the regular season. This is the first time he's been on the practice field. His mental game is going to be the limiting factor here. The FP full practice suggests that from a physical standpoint, he's probably ready to go if the lines needed him. But I expect the lines to use the entire 21-day practice window before actually activating him to the roster, though, because the guys ahead of them are all healthy. Oh, it's such a clutch off-season pickup, Dave. I was worried we'd be bringing back the same team. I meant those blackout motorized shades. Lines.com made it crazy affordable to replace our old lines. Hard to install. No, it was easy. I installed these and then got some from my mom.

When you test-drive the new ProLog EV, there's a lot that can impress you about it. There's the class-leading passenger space, the clean, thoughtful design, and the intuitive technology. But out of everything, what you'll really love most is that it's a Honda. Visit Honda.com/ev to see offers. Now, there are a bunch of guys that are unlisted who are notable. Kirby, Joseph, and Carlton Davis were both down for a little bit at last game against the Seahawks. Kirby looked like he had a right side oblique or backstring. I had a concern that there might be an aggravation of his right hip injury from last year, as the injury mechanism was the same. Fortunately, he's not on the report, which doesn't totally roll out an aggravation of his hip issue, but it is a very good sign. Carlton Davis was down for a little while after getting hit hard in the right chest. Looks like he might have been favoring his left shoulder area. Fortunately, nothing that came out of it. Maybe it was just a win issue. Broderick Martin was not on the list because he's still on IR with a right knee hyper-extension from August 24. He was seeing working with a trainer earlier this week, though, so I'd expect him to start his 21-day practice window fairly soon, maybe even next week. All right, now let's move on to the Dallas Cowboys report. The report is much lengthier than ours. Let's start with the big one. Mike Parsons, no practice with his left high ankle sprain, which he hurt two weeks ago. He's already missed one game for it. I fully expected he would miss our game as well, and this no practice basically confirms that with as much stress as Mike Parsons puts on that ankle for his head rushing, bending, quick cuts. That ankle really needs to be at almost close to full strength for him to want to return to play, so I do not expect him to be back for our game. Tyler Geiden, the starting left tackle, hurt his knee last game in the second quarter and left for the rest of the game. But the injury is apparently minor. Jerry Jones already said he has a good chance to play, and the FP today confirms that. In this place last game, Tyler Smith had moved from left guard to left tackle, and TJ Bass had moved in and left guard. TJ Bass looked like he struggled quite a big on multiple plays last game, so if Tyler Geiden has some kind of aggravation during the game, maybe we look to try to attack that left guard position. Derang Bland, who's a first team all-pro cornerback at an FP today, he's been out the whole season due to stress-fraction in his fifth metatarsal. That location is the location of a Jones fracture. That's the location of the foot that can be a tricky area for healing due to a lack of blood flow. There's a higher risk of malunion, which means the bone does not heal properly, and a higher risk of refracture. Now with his return, that means he's past the malunion risk. It's healed, but there's still a refracture risk for really the rest of his career. So the Cowboys are going to ease him in to minimize that refracture risk, especially early on. Other guys of note, Eric Hendricks had an NP with a calf and shoulder, but he played 100% of defensive snaps last game, so I'm guessing this is just a rest precautionary issue. Nick Vigil, inside land biker with a foot, an NP. He's only a special teams player, though. He did not log a defensive snap in the past three games. The rest of the guys on the Cowboys list are not overly concerning. From a Cowboys standpoint, Marquis Bell's safety at an illness with an NP. Again, an illness usually means they can play for the game. Keylin Carson, quarterback, shoulder, FP, Trayvon Diggs, quarterback, ankle, FP. FPs are all very likely to play during the game. Marist Lu Fau, linebacker, quad, FP. Zach Martin, starting guard. It's a rest day, no practice. That's really it from the Dallas Cowboys injury standpoint. There are some guys unlisted, though, who are very notable. Demarcus Lawrence, right list, Frank injury two weeks ago. He's all IR. He's out. He's their starting star defensive end along with Michael Parsons, so that's a huge loss. The guy filling in for both of them was Marcin Nealon, who's also out on IR due to a right knee torn lateral meniscus, having arthroscopic surgery this week. So three main key edrushers out for the Dallas Cowboys. We'll see if this affects their defensive pass rush. We'll see how they compensate. We'll see if it affects their rush defense. Jared Goff and the running game really should be able to take advantage of this again this week. Brandon Cooks is also out on IR due to a right knee infection. I talked about this last week. A joint infection is no joke. It can take a long time to recover from. It's a very serious issue. The loss of Cooks, though, probably not going to have a significant impact on the game. As they are pretty productive wide receiver core, we all know about CDLAM who torched us last year. Jalen Tolbert, their number two wide receiver, has had a very productive year. And Cavante Terpen, their speedy returner, got a lot of touches last game and filled in pretty well. So our pass defense is still going to be a big question mark for the rest of this year, including this game. So we'll see how the Lions handle at this game. All right. That's it for today. Thanks for watching and listening. Enjoy the game Sunday. Let's bring it here together. One, two, three. Lions on three. One, two, three. Lions! You've had enough of that shit.
