Our weekly interview with Lions QB Jared Goff!

0:00now we have called motives we around. But what can brown that had jumped up just right there, dropped up, and you're now all the planes out with prayer's not at four feet , I'm sorry to do this again. I have a lot of hopefully good Tuesday afternoon talks. Yeah, we've had a lot of good ones and we've learned a lot from you over the years. But let's start with what was the highlight of your off season? Any vacations or was it was a golfing with hot chocolate? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1:00I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, that was one of my daughter turned one and doing her first birthday and then everything else that comes with her just y'all earning out of walk and all sorts of different things has been the best part. What's the state of Michigan's summer activity or adventure that you got to enjoy this year that you maybe haven't done in the past? You know, we went to the zoo a few weeks ago and I it's my first time going because I didn't really have a reason to until she was here. But she loves it and I was blown away at first of all how many animals that have in there and then how big it is and how many things are to do is it's like a Detroit to do ad right now, but it was it was really cool. Penguin's number one. I you know, we didn't I didn't see the penguin. She went to the penguins like a couple days ago. What did I see that? I mean, Tiger was cool. Tiger was right there on the glass. I was sweet. The polar bear was cool. Again, I was shocked at that. Maybe I underestimated the capabilities of the Detroit zoo. If you could pet a bear or a tiger, which would you rather pet?

2:04Gosh, I'd bear. Yeah, there are grizzly bears there massive too. Like that was really cool. Well, there you go. Let's talk about the team. Drew Petsing comes in to run the offense. We've heard rave reviews and we're about to see for ourselves what what he's bringing to the table as the offensive coordinator. How would you describe what you know so far about Drew Petsing and what he's bringing to the Detroit lines? It's been great. I mean, I'll try to say something. I haven't said yet. He's been great. He's been everything and more. He's steady every day. He's the same guy. He's got great ideas. He's a great leader. He's great. You know, great holding people accountable. But he's very smart. Obviously, that's kind of the calling card for him and knows how to organize things. And he's just been a pleasure to work with him. And he's really great listener. He hears what I want. What, you know, our best players want how they want to get the ball, how they want to do certain things. And he differs to us a lot.

3:04But at the same time, we'll put his foot down when he wants things a certain way. And I think it's a really good balance right now. And I'm excited to see it come to life here this weekend. Was there a moment when you realized that it was going to click with Drew Petsing? Was there a moment when you're like, do we just become best friends? Yeah. No, I don't know. I mean, there's been a bunch of those through the offseason. I think just the constant conversations and OTAs and training camp. I mean, you know, I feel like I talked to him every day since he's been hired. It feels like him just getting on the same page, understanding how he wants to do things. And then him understanding me. And I just think the more that we communicate, the more we go on the same page. And man, it's been great. It's been really good getting to know him and then getting to work with him. It felt like in this offseason, there was an effort starting at the top from Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes to make everything about business in the offseason. A little little fanfare. We're just going to put our heads down, go to work and get back to some of the things that got the Detroit lines to where they are. Did you feel that inside the building? Was that something that was tangible?

4:04Yeah, I think so. I think Dan has certainly been all over everything. It's the way he should be. It's the way he's always been and he's done a great job of it. To speak on Brad's process. I don't think I could, but he's done a great job as well. But seeing Dan in front of the room, the way he's handled himself this offseason and got us prepared and gotten us ready to go. It feels good, man. It feels really good. And we do carry a little bit of that chip on our shoulder. Now a little bit bigger than maybe here prior that we did miss the playoffs. We did come in last place in our division and we got some more to do. You're beginning your 11th year in the league, which seems kind of crazy. What would you tell your younger self if you could? No, man. Where do I start? You know, buckle up. Have fun. Enjoy it. And I do feel like I've enjoyed it, but find a way to soak in every day and do your best. But yeah, it's been a long journey. It's been a fun journey. And I don't feel like I'm anywhere near done. And that's kind of the most exciting part.

5:06Dan Campbell was on our morning show today and was asked about you specifically and where he thought you were getting still getting better. I'm kind of interested. What do you think he said? I don't know. I try to get better in a million different ways every day. He sees things sometimes that I don't even realize that maybe I've improved on that. I'm happy that he can see from afar, but you know, I don't know. I think there's a lot of mental things and some things protectionally up front. And then, you know, in the run game that with a new align that I can help with a little bit. And I think I've tried to pick some of that stuff up. His answer was he basically thinks you do everything faster. You process information faster. You defense faster. You do everything faster. And would you think that that's accurate? Yeah, I think so. I think, you know, you play long enough. You start seeing the same things over and over. Yeah, you're able to move through things a little bit quicker. You're able to make your calls a little bit quicker.

6:07Pretty snap. And yeah, I said, it could be accurate. Do you run faster? Yeah, you know, that's certainly one of them. I was, I was, I was, I was getting my miles per hour up. I won't reveal what it is that right now, but it's going off. It's trending. I like it. I like it. Or a ring is really paying off for you. That's nice. Everyone is right. Everyone's raved by JMO in training camp. I was out there for a couple of days and saw a couple of deep connections that you made there. It he looks like he's poised to have this special season. What are you most excited about with his growth and development as a receiver? Yeah, he's becoming a complete receiver now. I think when he came in, he was, he was a speed guy. He was a take the top off guy and could only do so many things. And he's really developed. He's really worked hard at it. It's a credit to him and all his hard work. And he's become a complete receiver now. He can run everywhere out. He can run the shallow. He can run immediate. He obviously can go deep. We know that.

7:07But he's a complete guy. We can put him on the backside. Let him do some work one on one. We can get him to the field and let him do some work in a concept combination. And he can do a little bit of everything and it's a lot of fun. Probably the question we get asked most about the offense is about the offensive line. How would you evaluate a lot of new parts up there? How do you evaluate that group? Yeah, man. They've really come together nicely and they still are. I think the juice switch, whenever that was a couple of weeks ago and Kate went down, that kind of, had them read you out again. I thought they were yelling pretty well. And then, you know, a new center comes in and you got to do it through some of that work again. And I think it's really come a long way in the last few weeks of training camp. And juice has done a good job taking control. And yesterday was a great day and yeah, it's going well right now. You got Penetra still moving over to the left side. Obviously did that for a few games is rookie season. And then you've got the rookie on the right side. Have you seen some sort of mentorship going on with Penetra and Blake Miller?

8:07Yeah, I think so. I think he's done it in his own way. And I'm sure you'd have to ask Blake that. But Blake's come a long way too and seeing him grow every day. And I know he's getting little bits and pieces here from Penetra and even Tatra who has a year under his belt now is able to give Blake some bits and pieces. And yeah, man, it's been good to see him grow and continue to get better and learn from his mistakes. Every week in the NFL, defense is present challenges. What stands out about New Orleans that is going to challenge you guys this Sunday? Yeah, man. I think the number one thing just being week one is that you don't really know what you're going to get. I think you have an idea of course you watch the tape and you see what they do. But you don't know. I know Brandon's daily well and I know he's a great coach and I know he's going to have something different. I don't know what it is yet. But I have something different. He'll roll something out. We'll have to adjust too. So I think just that unknown is the biggest thing. You know, on top of that, they got great players over there. And they're well coached and they're sound and they play hard. They got a little bit momentum coming in from last season. And I thought they played well towards the end of the year.

9:09So yeah, they're a dangerous team and we gotta be ready to go. Do you prefer starting the season at home or would you rather do that on the road? I don't really care. As long as it's not Australia. Yeah, I guess so. But no, it doesn't really matter. I guess we got we got games tonight, don't we? Yes, yeah, we do. Super Bowl rematch though. Okay, we're going to not do this every week. But we ask the fans sometimes if they have any questions and Kang sits through them, sifts through them, our producer. And it's got one here for you today that he thinks is pretty good. Yeah, sometimes it'll be football related, Jared, sometimes not. This one's not better. You get a lot of crap on there sometimes. Just a little bit. I mean, you can probably imagine. All right. So this one's from Allen and Delville. He says, could you ask Jared, which team it would you trust the most to babysit your child and which team it would you trust the least to babysit your child? That's a good question. Trust the most. I'm going to go I got to go pene or like Derek Barnes.

10:11He has over. They have older kids. So I can trust that. You know, I feel good about that Tyler Conklin. He's got older kids. You know, I feel good about them. Trust the least. I saw Saint Brass at the same day, but it's going to be true. I just be worried. He'd lose track or he wouldn't pay attention. She's start walking away. He wouldn't be what you know if she went. That is fantastic. And I know in the past, you seem to have liked assignments now and again, we actually are going to have Hutch on weekly this year as well. So if you ever have any questions, we need to ask Hutch. And feel free to suggest them. If there's anything that you guys have long before or after me though, we have them unfortunately have a mom before you. And we may have him do the same for you. But if you next Monday, if there's anything we need to ask Hutch, let us know and we can we can make sure that we do it. Okay, I'll think about it. I don't feel as special anymore, but both of us doing all of this does special.

11:11Yeah, you were first. Yeah, you were first. All right. Hey, we appreciate the time. It's always good luckable talk next week. All right, guys. Thank you. Take care. There is a Lions quarterback. Jared Goff. There he goes. Goff, he joins us weekly here on Carson Anderson on 97 one.
