00:00True highlight was also Jared golf launching a bomb to Jameson Williams.
00:05Everybody was, you know, look at this point in time, you recognize Jared
00:09golf has, you know, an accurate arm and he's got a live arm, he can throw
00:13the football and I think that, uh, people fail to go back and look
00:18at what he did with the Rams.
00:20I just think that, you know, more in line.
00:22I think when people were saying, uh, talking about Jared golf and his ability
00:26to connect with Jameson Williams, really what they were saying is maybe
00:30Jameson Williams is just so fast that it's going to be tough to get in sync
00:34with any quarterback, just because you don't see speed like that too often
00:39where a guy can just turn it on where it doesn't maybe even look like he's
00:42going full speed and can get three yards behind a defensive back.
00:46You just don't see that level of speed, but look, they got the right
00:51look and Jared golf got the football in the air over 55 yards and was able
00:56to connect on a career long past to Jameson Williams, it was a highlight.
00:59It was great.
01:00I think that anytime you can execute it, uh, uh, an explosive play, I just think
01:05that that just helps your offense.
01:06And I do think that hopefully, you know, as the connection continues
01:10to grow, that it can be seen more, you know, obviously it didn't kind
01:14of shake out against the bills, but at the same token, look, you played a
01:18bears defense that was struggling, lack of confidence, they had given up over
01:2230 points, uh, you know, to the Vikings they lost, and you recognize that it
01:27was a team that, you know, definitely fought, but had some struggles as well
01:32in terms of collectively with the new coaching staff and, and, uh, really
01:37shot themselves in the foot quite a bit.
01:39But that's not the problem with the Detroit lions.
01:41That's the problem, uh, for the Chicago bears to try and figure out the final
01:45stretch of the season for them to try and get as many wins as they can.
01:48But for the lions, the connection between Jared Goff and Jamison Williams, that's
01:52going to be, in my opinion, probably the X factor that could determine how far
01:57this football team goes, because look, Jamison Williams is a football player
02:03that you can really, when you look at it, you can build an offense around, you
02:07know, he has that Jamar chase, uh, Justin Jefferson vibe, it's just kind of getting
02:12out of his own way in terms of the excessive celebrations.
02:15And we'll talk about that briefly.
02:17Man, that was a highlight touchdown.
02:19And I think that any explosive play definitely helps this offense.
02:21You just hope to see it more and you hope to see it against
02:23elite competition as well.
02:25Yeah, I think Jamison Williams has had a pretty good year for the lions.
02:29Um, you talked about the fact that now he's up to 890 receiving yards.
02:33Um, so he's only 110 away.
02:35If he gets 55 receiving yards in each of the next two games, he's
02:38going to finish with a thousand.
02:40Like, I think when we talk about expectations for what we wanted his season
02:44to look like at the beginning of the year, I'd say this was a pretty solid show for him.
02:48Um, I know we talked about it before the year, but like that thousand yard, I wasn't
02:52sure that he'd get, um, to a thousand, like maybe 800, whatever he's on pace for a
02:58thousand now, if he can just finish the job these last two games.
03:01And, you know, I, I think that maybe he might be wearing a little bit of a target.
03:05Um, he got that taunting penalty earlier in the game yesterday, but if you talk
03:09about, or if you listen to him talk about it after the game, he said he didn't say
03:12anything.
03:13He just kind of spun the ball.
03:14And it could have been one of those things where after the interaction he had with Tyreek
03:18Stevenson on Thanksgiving, um, that officials were maybe on high alert and they threw the
03:24flag early to kind of set the tone.
03:26I was really impressed with Jamison Williams on Sunday, and it's kind of been a
03:29developing theme where he's become a consistent part of the offense.
03:32He's a deep threat.
03:34Cornerbacks cannot stay in front of him and you can't play one single high safety
03:38because if you do, and the Lions run a bunch of misdirection with other routes, he's
03:42going to get behind the defense and score long touchdowns like he did on Sunday.
03:46And it was his fourth touchdown of over 50 yards this season, which is really just an
03:52incredible statistic.
03:53When you look at the fact that only two other Lions have done that before Calvin
03:57Johnson and Cloyce Vox, like that to me is just another sign of how impactful he can
04:02be moving forward for the Lions.
04:04And you're right.
04:05The playoffs, normally it comes down to one or two different big plays and the Lions with
04:11their defense being so banged up, they're always at risk of giving up touchdowns and
04:16giving up long drives that turn into touchdowns.
04:18And so to have that quick strike answer that Jamison Williams provides with these long
04:23touchdown passes or these short throws that you can give to him and he can make a couple
04:27guys miss and turn it into a 25 yard gain.
04:30The element that he brings to the offense that's super important and it could
04:34definitely be one of the reasons why the Lions are able to steal a playoff game.
04:38You know, if maybe a couple other guys don't end up coming back and the defense is still
04:41banged up. So yeah, I'm looking to Jamison Williams to be a huge part of the Lions
04:48playoff run.
