Montgomery is an absolute Dawg! I hope they keep the Thunder & Lightening going for years to come as it will only help preserve each player's career longer. Depending on one main guy is only an ankle sprain away to not making it to the play-offs.
Add the fact that da Lions have one of the best O lines in football and a great quarterback and 2 out standing Rbs and 2 of the best receiver's in the NFL. Lions are scary good this year...oh hey there's a damn good D fence also.
He's up there but I've seen some pretty serious flip-flops over the years. He definitely will say what you want to hear at times and not stick to his guns.
Re RB distribution…. I think with the improved defense there will be more games in which we won’t need the explosive playmaker late and game management is the name of the game. So while JG may be in more big moments, the actual snap distribution percentages may not change drastically. Let’s face it, the game was often still up for grabs last year even when the Lions scored 30+. With a better D, managing the game late will more common and DM will be vital to closing them out.
I think you guys are make more out of this subject then there needs to be, they both are gonna need time off the field so their not taking big hits week after week. They complement each other and need each other so hopefully both of them can stay healthy through the whole season
I think most folks are just worrying about their fantasy points. We have one of the best RB combos in the league which gets us closer to the Super Bowl which is all that matters. Ben Johnson now has the task of utilizing both. If they both stay healthy this offense may be close to unstoppable. If all goes right Montgomery will keep Gibbs fresh and vice versa and we win for the next 5 years😁
Gibbs gets more touches, but not so many Monty is irrelevant. Mark my words. Tires have so much tread to use and MCDC isn't going to waste Gibbs doing donuts in a parking lot.
DC and BH don’t care about individual stats, they care about winning and getting to a superbowl! Gibbs is an awesome weapon and surely will be a huge factor in the success of the offense but I feel a slight disrespect for D-mont who I would definitely put as a top 10 RB. I don’t think Gibbs would be the same without Monty and a man that can deadlift 705lbs is not a man to be trifled with! He can dead lift basically two Penei Sewells!!! The duo is the key IMO
It's not about the production or stats he shares the backfield which is a good thing for the team. As far as talent goes he's the best back in the league right now.
I'd rather have a SB win than a 17-0 record. I do however believe they will own this season. I just don't see 17-0 because they will pull starters once they have the division locked up. GO LIONS!!!!
Guys, Gibbs is small. He's more of a complimentary back or he's going to end up on the sidelines. You are crazy if you think he can handle the majority of carries. Do you guys think?
Rich is absolutely right. Lions are a better team than the jets and the falcons, they didn’t take the cuffs off gibs until like week 8 and he still killed it with Monty. 0:03 He’s full go from game 1, he’s insanely explosive, he gets pass work and will run it in. The chances Monty plays the full season, probably going to miss some time. Gibbs could be number 1 you never know he has the best opportunity. plus Barkley probably won’t finish the season, and the eagle knowing this, no way they’re going to overload him that’s crazy nonsense they’ll utilize all their backs like they have done for the past decade. no way chub will be what he was first season back, well very unlikely and why overload him when you have ford. Gibbs is 0:03 just like mccaffery duel threat. It’s also about opportunity, lions could have one of the best offences in the league. Hard to see that with the jets, and if Aaron goes down which is probably more likely than not breece might not have enough opportunity.
I think Gibbs has the potential to be number one. Not only that, but if he stays healthy for a number of years, he may be in conversations with Barry, Bo, and Emmit. We will have to wait and see.
Let's see if you can end up the best running back on his team before we start annoying him as one of the best of all time. I just don't think he's going to ever get the carries necessary cuz the game is changed so much in Montgomery and the rookie this year will eat into his playing time at a level those other guys never had to deal with in their heyday
Rookie Barry had better yards per attempt and over 55% more yards. Gibbs had 170 fewer rushing yards than Barry's worst season when he played only 11 games and tore his PCL. Barry came back the next season and spent the final 5 seasons of his career starting every game, rushing over 300 times per season, and averaging 1696 rushing yards and 1980 total yards. Gibbs needs at least another decade for any shot to debate who is greater
@@smudgeous4068 Barry is the GOAT. I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying i think Gibbs could have that kind of potential. I also believe that comparing their rookie years doesn't mean much because Barry didn't have to share with a beast like Dmont. I'm just saying Gibbs is fast, athletic, has good moves, and can catch. I don't find it wise to underestimate a player like him.
@@ErinMobley-c8j I don't disagree with those points, but the 8 drops on 60 catchable passes was concerning. He, Achane, and Breece Hall all make this league more fun to watch when they're healthy
I've been a Lions fan since 87, you guys are pathetic. You act like 5 year Olds on Christmas morning if anyone in the media outside of Detroit says anything about the lions
Montgomery is an absolute Dawg! I hope they keep the Thunder & Lightening going for years to come as it will only help preserve each player's career longer. Depending on one main guy is only an ankle sprain away to not making it to the play-offs.
Our Boyz are just getting their feet wet. The Sky Is The Limit. Thanks Rich.
Looks like Rich is as high on our dude as I am. LFG baby. 🔥

Rich Eisen is my favorite person in Sports Media 😊
Yes mines too
Me three
Me too
He's up there but I've seen some pretty serious flip-flops over the years. He definitely will say what you want to hear at times and not stick to his guns.
Keep crushing it boys
I see both Gibbs and Montgomery getting 1000 yards and 10+ touchdowns
If u guys been fans for awhile u got to be excited about this

Gibbs will get 1000 rushing yards 1000 receiving yards and will lead the team with TD's. #OnePride
I'll take the next step, he's the best back in the league.
Need y’all to react to that warren sharp analysis on the lions on the the Rich eisan show
Gibbs gets more touches, but not so many Monty is irrelevant. Mark my words. Tires have so much tread to use and MCDC isn't going to waste Gibbs doing donuts in a parking lot.
Monty is rb1 he has earned it

The Electrician & The Plumber BABY!
I think gibbs gets way more passes thrown to him this year he is a very good pass catcher
Bold prediction: lions finish with the best record in the nfl. They may pull out the record and go 17-0
Also, WE'RE GOING TO BREAK THE THANKSGIVING CURSE!!!!!
I'd rather have a SB win than a 17-0 record. I do however believe they will own this season. I just don't see 17-0 because they will pull starters once they have the division locked up. GO LIONS!!!!
Lay off that blue powder my friend..
The rigged NFL would never allow the Lions to go undefeated.
I Agree. It is finally awesome to be a LIONS fan. Love Jahmyr Gibbs !
Guys, Gibbs is small. He's more of a complimentary back or he's going to end up on the sidelines. You are crazy if you think he can handle the majority of carries. Do you guys think?
Yep, Rich Eisan is sharp, like Michigan Wolverines 2025 National Champion Sharp. Thunder and Lightning and just gonna get better with each game!
Also Ben Johnson is a genius at situational play calling and using the strengths of both running backs
He has tremendous upside and he will be great next year but he did have the worst fumble of all of last year. Hopefully he learns from that fumble.
2 🔙 Attack 🎯🦁⚒️💙
I'm gonna be that guy and say Crunch Time > Woodward Sports
Did you see Monty lift 700# 😮
Ben Johnson needs some back up help haha Lions bout to get very tricky with the new hires and Da vets!
The ravens game was the ugliest part of last year, Gibbs still looked impressive lmao
SB24-2/3by2030!🦁⚒️💙
Dont sleep on Monte for fantasy...

Maybe they already did draft DMo's replacement
I agree with old school don't waste Gibbs Montgomery is a dog

@@smudgeous4068 sound like we mostly agree with small nuances. I'm good with that.
Now explain to me why I should care what Rich einsen thinks
No one gives a shit if you care or not.
