Honestly this trade is already a part of history because it is an extension of the Stafford trade. Goff, Jamo, Gibbs, Laporta, Paschal, Martin, Melifonwu. This was franchise rejuvenating trade.
I think they are doing a good job of splitting carries with D Montgomery. It seems like Ingram and Kamara when they were together with the saints. Keep the legs fresh during the season so they have more energy in the playoffs. Great video.
Sometimes when Gibbs cuts back against the grain and turns on the jets he reminds me of a certain past One Name Lions Goat RB. And yes, I’m glad the coaches saved his carries for the end of the season and post season.
Another quick Jah insight. I will be 67 on Thursday. The one thing that Barry did differently from every other RB (except maybe Marcus Allen) is that Barry tried to run to not be touched, a leftover from the many games of tag he played growing up. Gibbs is similar but different. Both had great lateral quickness with stop and start ability. Barry did it to the defender in a phone booth! Gibbs is more nuclear acceleration and gone!! Gibbs & Jamo give the Lions a set of twin unique nukes (as players) that you can detonate on any given play, in any given situation. Why would Ben want to leave with a full chest of toys to play with?? Add a true X WR and it's an easy 35 pt penr game avg for this team. And since its a JA vid, I wont mention Laporta, but if I were to say that you have 3 of your top offensive weapons on rookie deals and they are producing @ these levels.-whats next?? 😲👀💯🎙❤️👍🏾
Excellent as always, sir. :) Thank you beyond words for all of the amazing work and knowledge you have spread! We Lions fans are EXTREMELY fortunate to have someone with your football mind and passion for teaching to strip down the game, decode what is happening and then show those of us who aren't as experienced both the forest and the trees.
I think BH's best skill is as a supreme draft talent evaluator. Apparently me too!! I loved every pic cuz I saw in Gibbs the same electricity that he did- the kind that just stuns you and makes you want to watch every carry of that back. There are not many backs who could do what Gibbs can do, with the combo of power, electricity and balance that Gibbs has. And with his work in the passing game expanding, what NFL linebacker can cover THAT!?!? I do have some mocks saved where I picked some trio of the top 5 🦁s picks. But GIbbs & Campbell were automatic. 🎙💯❤️👍🏾
Holmes has said numerous times with Bijan on the board his guy was Gibbs. Now it’s on the person if they want to believe that, BUT for me it’s entirely plausible
Its so crazy that he's still only 23. Imagine how dominating hes gonna be when he gets his old man strength in a few years. Never in 25+ years of following the lions have i cared about an o lineman. 58 changed that I love that dude, he's so elite. His attitude and approach are what turned this all around. 58 is thee cornerstone of the brand new lions.
Love the analysis. I’m interested in a Glasgow video since he’s up for a contract. How does he fair compared to other guards? AND centers also because he has that versatility and that’s where a lot of his experience and value lies. It’s a good topic for the off-season discussion. So glad Ragnow said he wasn’t retiring… what a warrior
2023! We drafted, Jahmyr Gibbs in, 2023…. #1 on my wishlist… I thought, and still think, that we would have drafted, Devon Witherspoon, but Seattle beat us to it. They were my top two favorites,with, Gibbs being #1. I love it! Best college TE, best college LB. Best DB in the SEC…. Wow. #OnePride✊🏾🦁💙 #InBradWeTrust💯
This possibility didn't occur to me until fairly recently, but I think you're right. If Seattle doesn't take Witherspoon at #5, the Lions would've taken him instead of trading their pick to the Cardinals and trading back to the 12th pick. The only thing that makes me think that might not be the case is their signings of Cam Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley as free agents, but I think the Lions still would've taken Witherspoon, and put all three of them on the field at the same time a lot. So kinda like what they ended up doing with all the good safeties they didn't realize they had the first half of the season lol.
I hope you haven’t already produced that content, and I’m just late to late to express my idea lol. But I love your content no one is producing and breaking down game film the way you are you are teaching this game thank you 💯
I second the notion that your video idea was a really good one, so thank you for that. I didn't pay much attention to the Ravens receivers blocking, but being a Lions fan, the blocking effort & execution by not just the tight ends, but the receivers as well, contributed mightily to Montgomery and Gibbs both nearly going over 1000 rushing yards, and both having exceptional yards per carry stats. I found the blocking of Jameson Williams & LaPorta particularly impressive for such young players. It probably didn't hurt that the coaches told Jamo he needed to work on things like blocking, if he wanted to be in on more snaps. LaPorta seemingly came in with well above average blocking skills, which is pretty rare for a TE that's as good a route runner and pass catcher as he is. I'm definitely looking forward to watching a video on the topic, whenever it may be done.
When people ask if Jahmyr Gibbs was worth Pick #12, the comp I like to give is actually someone like Deebo Samuel; an all around weapon that can be used in multiple ways in multiple looks and formations and is a scoring threat every time he touches the ball. Would teams take Deebo at #12 knowing what they do now? Without hesitation.
from what i remember, the lions had some smoke for the corner the seahawks drafted just b4 them. so makes sense, the main man u wanted is took right underneath u so u sell and get ur next player on ur board.
THE PEOPLE WHO KNOCKED THIS DRAFT PICK, HAD NO IDEA HOW GOOD THIS YOUNG MAN IS!! - I WAS HEAD OVER HEELS HAPPY!! - I SAID IT PRIOR TO THE DRAFT! - Not only that, I was fortunate to get 3 of our top 4 picks!! - The one that totally surprised me was Laporta!
I enjoy you analysis. And your appreciation for the turnaround that the Lions have engineered. Beyond the talent, X and Os is this teams locker room. These guys are tight and committed to the plan. And, they’re fun to watch, especially the speed and athleticism of their skill guys. Nice job.
I love Penei celebrating that TD against the Bucs while Gibbs is still 15 yards out with 2 guys to beat, knowing how fast & strong he is from practicing with him every day. In Sewell's mind, it was over the moment he caught that early block.
This dude is gonna be an mvp candidate this year. His speed and elusiveness is deadly. Oh and hes not scared to lower his shoulder to get a cpl more yards. 12th pick looks like a steal now. He's gonna be a superstar after this season. Thank you Brad
What’s huge is that With Ben Johnson staying he can draw up more plays for Gibbs and Jamo. I don’t know if B J ever had so much speed to deal with. 24:51 yes coach. For sure.
I had Gibbs at 600/600. I’m extremely happy with what he did for this year. What a steal in the draft. We got the best RB/WR/Blocker and Laporta. Laporta was the best TE in the draft.
He was the exact same running back he was in college! His game translated perfectly. I admit initially I scratched my head too with everybody else when they took a RB when we needed a CB or a DT then. But when I watched his tape, it was clear Gibbs was that guy.
First great work on putting this together. When I heard comparisons to Kamara, I knew he was a 1k rusher, whether he actually hit that number or not. I feel like the last touch down rum in the video, was the coming out run that showed that he knows that he can dominate in this league. Side note: I would love to see a stronger number 3 rb than Craig Reynolds.
Brad brought the receipts. And btw Gibbs was ranked higher on their board and Emory Hunt’s board as well. As Emory Stated months before the draft on the Detroit Lions Podcast (DLP) “Why wouldn’t you want to draft someone better than Bijan? He’s faster, he see’s the holes better, he runs better routes, and he has better hands. I’m talking about Jahmyr Gibbs. He’s the #1 back in my analysis.”
And yes the Lions run on 3rd and long because 1) their O-Line is so damn dominant & 2) they will go for it on fourth and short. Creating a true four plays to get the first. “Hanks Tanks, get the job done”. Hank Fraley is an excellent line coach.
Gibbs is a quiet guy, but he runs with arrogance. You can tell he doesn't expect a single tackler to ever bring him down once he's in the open field. He'll make three guys miss while racking up a 20-yard gain, then slap the ground in disgust because the fourth guy kept him from going all the way. It's actually pretty funny, and I always look for it now.
Gibbs actually led the league in 20 yard runs, I wonder where Swift was ranked. Gibbs also was one of the best in contact and avoiding tackles. Honestly I believe that Gibbs is a big upgrade.
The crazy thing with Gibbs is that he didn't break a truly long run this year. He genuinely adds a threat in the run game that Montgomery, as good as he is, just doesn't.
Off-season will be interesting with a lot of free agents in positions of need like guards and defensive backs but who knows falls into Brad and Dans lap at 29. I hope we pick a outside corner too since it’s a deep class of good CB’s and was a weakness in our defense and pass rush but Brad will work his annual magic performance at the draft and pick the best football player they have on the board and fits our culture.
Hey man, phenomenal video. I'm a Lions fan and am very impressed with Dan and Brad Holmes guys know how to build a team, so much disrespect for taking Gibbs that early let alone the 1st round. Everyone said "you don't take a RB in the 1st". Look at what that guy did for that team this past year he was masterful for being a rookie RB, i'm glad they started weaponizing him later in the season him and Dmo were an insane 1-2. Btw what are you using to draw on screen? I use Epic Pen but what are you using?
The refs were on the arm in that NFC championship game, you cant defend them on the TD that they took away. I was embarrassed to be a NFL fan that day. To me it was clear the NFL had an agenda and they'd have done anything to make it happen, and they did.
Still was a reach Laporte justify it swift had same production was cheaper achane spears Keaton miller would of had same impact Gonzalez was the right pick
I'm torn about the Superbowl. I'm sure the Lions would have beaten the Chiefs but I'm also sure Baltimore was the best team in the league. No way the Lions would have beaten them
Facts!! I feel the lions could’ve beaten both of those teams in the SB. It’s all about matchups though. Chiefs are better equipped to beat the ravens than Lions are.
I like the Pacheco comp but he reminds me so much of Jamaal Charles and Chris Johnson its almost scary
Honestly this trade is already a part of history because it is an extension of the Stafford trade. Goff, Jamo, Gibbs, Laporta, Paschal, Martin, Melifonwu. This was franchise rejuvenating trade.
Agree. Great point.
Sure does remind you a lot of the herschell walker deal. So mind-blowing still to think the lions are an elite team nowadays.
I think they are doing a good job of splitting carries with D Montgomery. It seems like Ingram and Kamara when they were together with the saints. Keep the legs fresh during the season so they have more energy in the playoffs. Great video.
Monday just got a lot better, thanks coach.
Ditto!
Sometimes when Gibbs cuts back against the grain and turns on the jets he reminds me of a certain past One Name Lions Goat RB. And yes, I’m glad the coaches saved his carries for the end of the season and post season.
Good point. All of them. Sent you a message on Patreon also
Great job on the video as per usual, and here's to hoping that the Ravens & Lions meet at the Superdome, roughly a year from now.
Thanks Coach. You're a star for two excellent fan bases.

Those arm tackles on Gibbs are not gonna stop him next year..Swift had to develop the same skill after his rookie yr.
I like your title Coach.

I have an idea for a video try a breakdown of the receivers blocking for the lions and ravens a concentrated breakdown of how they help the run game
Amazing idea. Wow. Thank you. Let me organize that and get it going.

Awesome job coach. The thing that amazes me is how Gibbs can take on much bigger players He Doesn’t go down. Gibbs gets skinny.

Gibbs should/will be rb1
Gibbs is on a completely different level than Swift
Gibbs is special 3 down back.
He'll explode next years
Gibbs is a quiet guy, but he runs with arrogance. You can tell he doesn't expect a single tackler to ever bring him down once he's in the open field. He'll make three guys miss while racking up a 20-yard gain, then slap the ground in disgust because the fourth guy kept him from going all the way.

How did Gibbs's style and results compare to what D'Andrea Swift might have produced within the Lions offense?
Gibbs actually led the league in 20 yard runs, I wonder where Swift was ranked. Gibbs also was one of the best in contact and avoiding tackles. Honestly I believe that Gibbs is a big upgrade.
Thank you for all you do! I hope you continue to cover the lions
Great analysis
The crazy thing with Gibbs is that he didn't break a truly long run this year. He genuinely adds a threat in the run game that Montgomery, as good as he is, just doesn't.

I remember early in the season before Gibbs caught his stride Lion fans were mad that they took Gibbs over Bjiohn. Now they dangling.😐
Brad Holms hit Campbell in the nuts with an elbow that's why Campbell goes over and leans on a desk in the background!
Really do not want Gibbs getting hammered more than 20+ touches per game.
Do not want to ware him down.
Hey man, phenomenal video. I'm a Lions fan and am very impressed with Dan and Brad Holmes guys know how to build a team, so much disrespect for taking Gibbs that early let alone the 1st round.

Btw what are you using to draw on screen? I use Epic Pen but what are you using?
Didn't they also get Jack Campbell with the trade back?
Don't forget Gibbs barely played the first few games. So his numbers aren't really for a full 17 weeks in the regular season.
That was 2023 draft not 2022
The refs were on the arm in that NFC championship game, you cant defend them on the TD that they took away. I was embarrassed to be a NFL fan that day.
