So my dad played for both the Cardinals and Lions back in the 50s. So they are my two favorite teams, and it’s been decades of frustration (besides the Cards run to the SB) for me. I’m loving everything that Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes have done for the Lions. I’d love to see the Cardinals rise up again. It’s fun to see the Lions as an example of what other teams should do. Thanks for the video

Cardinals just need to trade away Murray to a good team that needs a QB to get them over that hump. Get a bunch of draft picks for him. Then build from the draft, starting with the O-line, and every player needs to have grit and no quit. The blue print is there.

Monti ended up being a part of drafting M Willis.. 😎🤣

Keim was hired way before Bidwell Sr passed..

Never as a lions fan I thought I would ever hear another organization say we should take the Detroit Lions blueprint unbelievable!! 😂😂 But definitely great to see

Can’t copy Detroit, it’s impossible. It’s front office down. Everyone wants a Dan Campbell type but He is a one of a kind. Prefect storm in Detroit. 89 should go in the rafters in Detroit.

Good job.....totally agree with you on the Lions' analysis

That would be awesome to see the cardinals beat the chiefs, packers, bears, and other top teams, except the Lions🙂

No mention of Chris Speilman….. no other team has him! 😂

14 or 15 wins 🎉💪🏾🦁 👑🎉

Lions fan here from ms, i saw this video in my feeds pop up I had to click on this video. Thanks for making this video.

At least the Cardinals made it to the superbowl. I as a life long lions fans until a year and a half ago, I never thought I would see the lions in Super Bowl, but I believe I will this season

Wait i didnt know arizona has a top 3 offensive line lol!!! Cause we built from the trenches then worked on skilled positions

Matt Derry is a must listen to everyday. He is the narrator on this path to Lions fortunes

Watching the lions inside the den on the draft. They get guys who love football. Every pick they make is guys they love. These drafts have been insane.

If the Cardinals can lock into something akin to the Brad/Dan dynamic and follow a similar path of deciding this: There's the Right Way, there's The Wrong Way, and then there's Our Way and stick to it then yes, the West will be VERY unhappy at no longer having a punching bag team. The Lions' division rivals are really unhappy it isn't a three team game anymore. AZ can do it, takes a deep dive from the owner, and help from anywhere they can get it, but it can be done. The Lions were rotten to the core end of 2020. Now look.

In the end, it’s up to the ownership to hire the right people to run the organization.. it took the Ford Family so long. Shelia Hamp hired 4 key people, Spielman, Disner, Holmes, and Dan Campbell help turnaround the lions

The Bears are following the Lions blueprint too but wont admit it

The Lions talked about St Brown before the draft, but they just seamed to know where the players they want will be. They move up or move down. In Gibbs they moved down and got both Gibbs and Laporta. Brad Holms is a Great GM.

You need over half a century of futility and sorrow before being able to replicate what the Lions have done.

The difference of the Lions is the whole organisation The owner has her office there and gets involved a GM who draft bpa but only one they target who breathe football all the coaches are smart former players who know how to teach so they get alot out of their players . The players have bought in

It would be very difficult to duplicate what the Lions have built unless a team has a general manager and a coach with great conviction that are on the same page, & will not alter from their plan or vision… Holmes with much input from other Lions staff members draft they’re guys, not by position value but by great talent, toughness, intelligence, and with the team first mentality… In the 2023 draft that most analyst thought the Lions did a terrible job in the 1st round with before the season, Holmes had about 12 players in his 1st round bucket and drafted 4 of those players… Gibbs Campbell LaPorta Branch, all are starters and I’d bet without serious injury all will be Pro bowl players for years to come…

Martha Firestone Ford did NOT do alright.

Dont spill the the beans too much. Dont tell them all our sectet sauce LOL. I like arizona. They're cool beans though, but just don't reveal too much

Draft guys who love football. Find guys who are football players first and athletes second. Bring in players who are leaders and stay out of trouble. Lastly, let them compete and put the best players on the field. The Lions way is simple to grasp, but hard to do. We will see if it can be done long term. I sure hope it can.

Simple- front office to coach- open communication and seeing things alike- players, build from inside out- and don't take any toxic locker room guys- bunch of dudes who love ball and a front office who communicates with coaches and one big happy family

I’m a Lions cat. And I want to wish blessings to the Cardinals and their fans. I know what’s it’s like to have a team to rebuild. Go Lions 💥💙 and go Cardinals.

Saying you have to be "lucky" is the attitude of a loser. You make your luck.

Honestly I think the biggest thing is our Owner, GM, and Head Coach are all on the same page. Everyone pulling in the same direction can't be understated. Secondly it's Dan Campbell's leadership and Brad Holme's wizardry with money and the draft. Those things are a recipe for success. You guys had a great off season and I think things are looking up for you all.

Jarod might not be cool but he has a hotter wife then Stafford 😂

There are not many Dan Campbell's out there. And Brad homes is damn master

Hard to follow the Lions’ blueprint with the awful Michael Bidwell minding the budget. Ownership change in Detroit was the first step in this process.

Matt Dery da man..

What is the culture of Phoenix as a city? Does that culture relate to football in a positive manner? Detroit is tough and works hard for every penny.

Good luck finding another Dan or Brad. They will be in the HOF one day.

I’m from Detroit living in AZ. It makes me proud to see My Lions doing shit the right way. Never could imagine this.

As a Lions fan living in AZ, I like the Cards as long as they're not playing the Lions. It makes me feel good to see the Lions setting the bar high for building a team.

Saying Sheila just gets out of the way downplays her too much. Sheila is heavily involved, but trusting them to make decisions. She knows everyone is doing their job and she makes sure they have all the tools they need.

Yesterday I watched a video that said the Steelers were following the Lion's blueprint. Today I see a video that says the Cardinals are following the Lion's blueprint. As a Lion's fan for 40+ years, we are truly living in the Upside Down.

The thing is Brad hit on a lot of his draft picks throughout all the rounds. Plus they absolute stuck to their culture. If the player was a great college player but didn't fit their culture they left em on the board.

Love these episodes. Thank You for doing them.

As a Lion fan that ran into this video, Matt Dery is the perfect person that knows the Lions inside out.

Casa grande AZ Cardinals baby

So far, so good. Cautiously optimistic

these two men could definitely finish a steak

so happy to see jg and monti

8 wins thiis season playoffs next year with better defense

lol

I agree with you 💯 on James Connor.

I think Kyler has grown immensely! He is aware of the talent around him.
