I’m cutting everything out and I’m just watching Frank Ragno Vers Vitavan.
Great.
I said fantastic hoss fight.
First note here.
Great.
Hot fight.
Every single play is going to sound like an earthquake when especially versa.
Rum because those are two of like the roughest, toughest guys in the NFL, biggest guys, freak athletes, you know, so that’s something I’m really looking for.
And you know, Vita V I love him because he’s kind of like the perfect mix between like old school nose tackles and the guys who can play on the move a little bit because he is, you know, 350 pounds.
But for everyone who remembers during the draft process, just an incredible athlete for that size and it translates too.
So he ends up becoming like this super important linchpin for the entire defense because to me, like his presence is kind of what makes the entire front seven work.
They’re gonna need their front seven just whoop, absolute ass up front um and make life difficult for Jared Goff because we’ve seen, you know, if you can get Jared Goff off rhythm and you can’t just rely on the play action turn your back throw, Sam Laporta on an over route where no one’s within 20 yards that can get a little tough, uh, for him, but it’s gonna be tough for the Buccaneers defense because, you know, they are at a talent disadvantage in this game.
It’s, it’s just hard because, I mean, this Lions team he showed last year too that they can find answers.
It’s how they protect Jared Goff against Todd Bs’s blitz.
It’s how it is against every Bucks.
Every time someone goes against the Bucks defense.
What does third down look like?
How do you protect it?
Golf isn’t great against pressure.
But if you block it up for him, which the Lions can, he can gash you.
