DETROIT VS EVERY DAM BODY!! Great breakdown

[@Sam16Walker]

Great breakdown but the Lions should’ve won that game 54 and 97 was being held that whole game.

[@jamesbenton4123]

I love these breakdowns. This is football.

[@thegamingdrew3105]

Yep. How do you think players prepare

[@chocolateladycap2773]

Me too 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@theronin9984]

Alim was a steal for the 🦁's. With DJ next to him, they could have one of the dominant DLine's in the NFL! Nice breakdown!! 🎙👍🏾👍🏾#OnePride.

[@southviewarab]

Davenport/Houston, Reader, McNeil, Hutchinson... and this is before the draft? 😁

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

@@southviewaraband Cominsky can hold his own too, especially against the run. They’re already vastly improved, on paper at least. They might even get a surprise out of Matthieu Betts from the CFL. Not expecting much but you never know.

[@joereeves8259]

I could listen this stuff all day, amazing take on line work.

[@thenickfoxx]

Man me too. I love this in depth stuff. Trying to have a conversation with someone that just goes by the sack metric when it comes to DL annoys the hell out of me because some people don't understand how valuable this nitty gritty stuff is lol.

[@Steve_643]

Alim doesn’t get a lot of hype but he’s a top 10 DT imo. I think he’s gonna have a huge 2024 season for The Lions with double digit sacks.

[@jackstebner515]

Graded as number 7 overall last season.

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

Next few off-seasons are gonna be expensive. Saint, Penei and Alim this year, Jamo and Hutch next, then the loaded ‘03 draft the following year. Plus a Goff extension is coming soon. They might not have enough space to sign guys from the ‘01 draft like Iffy and Derrick Barnes.

[@walkersievers921]

@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogsonthese guys love Dtown. Pay cuts are definitely and hopefully possible

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

@@walkersievers921 i hope so. This is the one downside of having draft success…eventually you have to pay them or watch them walk. But if you keep having successful drafts, you can afford to let a couple guys go, i guess.

[@thegamingdrew3105]

People sleeping on james houston. Forgetting bout him

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

He only got to play the final 1/3 of his rookie year and only played handful of snaps the entire 03-04 season. Just wait until he gets a full season under his belt, he’s gonna go nuts.

[@alschbachb]

MCDC gave Alim the nickname Twinkle Toes which is fucking awesome lol. Alim went from 330 to around 300-305lbs. Dj Reader and Alim are going to be one of the best DT pairings in the league next year. I think he gets close to 10 sacks next year and gets a BAG which gets deserves. He will be a household name after next season.

[@joshlewis575]

The kid is a stud! Having reader there is gonna free him up a lot to cause more havoc in the backfield. He definitely becomes a star this year outside of Detroit

[@alschbachb]

@@joshlewis575 yup couldn’t agree more.

[@desert_sky_guy]

Thanks for all the excellent knowledge on why Alim is so good! I know enough about football to know that he's a difference-maker, but seeing the fine details of just how good he is already is something I wouldn't have known without your breakdown.

[@LetsTalkLions]

Really appreciate this breakdown 🤙🏼

[@alschbachb]

Hell of a film breakdown brotha! Love Alim. He’s going to have an even better year next year.

[@thenickfoxx]

Man I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'd absolutely love if you covered more Lions players. I know you're DL but I just eat this stuff up. Love your breakdowns!

[@bigdawz4497]

Beau out here killing it with the breakdowns! Love it!

[@jtsmassivepurpose7549]

#One Pride love this breakdown!

[@Yaahboi52]

Alim is gonna get a huge pay day real soon

[@user-fi2co3pf5q]

McNeil is an athlete. Seeing McNeil development has been eye catching. Detroit doesn't have enough $$ to pay everyone

[@knienst731]

They gotta figure itnout cause we would be dumb to let him go in his prime. DT is not the position to go cheap on cause teams will run up the gut all day

[@Kphillips0909]

Detroit will have the money to resign most if not all their star player....starting with st.brown and Goff

[@DetroitLions23]

Foolish comment. Every good team that is a contender manipulates the cap to make it all work. Look at every contender that has done it: Eagles, Niners, Ravens, Chiefs, etc. And I would argue Brad Holmes is the best GM out of those teams GM's. Turned the Lions into a superbowl contender in less than 3 years...

[@JerryDoe-ds3un]

​@@Kphillips0909already signed the big Dawgs St Brown and Sewell! They will resign everyone don't worry lol

[@Sanders-vo4zz]

Great job breaking film down, really enjoy the video ❤

[@kenbutton6706]

OUTSTANDING VIDEO !!! Fun fact... Alim doesn't cuss in his rapping because he wants to be a great role model to kids. Also... Pound for pound he's the strongest Lion according to Dan Campbell. That's impressive considering Amon Ra St. Brown is in the team and is one of the strongest WR in the entire league (benches over 400 lbs). I'll bet Alim can bench 550+

[@pi3man252]

Love alim one of my favorite lions. My favorite moment from him is when he got drafted he got asked ready to be lion? His answer was fo sho

[@UnapologeticD]

Please do more of these Beau Allen Breakdowns of DLine and OLine play

[@JR-eg8ir]

Amazing breakdown. Would love some more of these

[@raymondwhittenberg3873]

Loved this breakdown. Alim is a stud. I can’t wait to watch him and Reader together this year, good luck rushing interior on Detroit. I could see both McNeil and Reader playing all the interior alignments interchangeably. We’ve seen plenty of snaps of Alim as a 3 tech, and at least for context this year Alim played more 3 when he was paired with Benito Jones or Buggs earlier in the year and played more nose when Alualu joined late in the year. Also I know you brought up Cominsky in the video because Alim called him a leader, I would love a breakdown of that dude cause he does so much of the dirty work. I feel like his role is VERY under appreciated in the Lions community because he doesn’t put up big counting numbers.

[@brianmartindale2221]

I like the Butter Breakdown and I really like Alim McNeill. Great player and a really cool dude. The other tackle list is long for his time with the Lions and it is going to be very interesting to see what he and DJ Reader come up with. I also really want to see those two take BP with the Tigers sometime. (They both played D1) I would feel sorry for the baseballs

[@paulmayer8654]

He didn’t get down to 13%. He was down 13% body fat. Big difference lol

[@jeffprice2008]

bro thank you that was the BEST break down I've ever seen & I'm 63

[@michaelmcdermott209]

Great video brother. Alim is a great guy and a fabulous player, he deserves all the praise he can get! I really like your breakdown on his technique and his skill, we have a great guy in the middle and he and Reader are going to give QB's nightmares. Our entire defense will be much better this upcoming season Carlton and Robertson were great additions to the secondary. Can't wait to see how Brad Holmes flexes on the Draft. #OnePride

[@lukeschafer4406]

Alim's gonna be an All Pro in 24-25. He's already an absolute stud and having D.J. Reader next to him is gonna be a huuuuge boost.

[@orlandobrown8190]

It's crazy I've seen other Lions fans question whether Alim will get a huge payday. If we don't pay him someone forsure will.

[@JerryDoe-ds3un]

Stop it no one has questioned him after this past year lol

[@ManifestMyFuturesDestiny]

I remember back in the 2021 draft when Alim was drafted in the 3rd round. They cut into the Eagles War Room and shows someone trying to give high fives to members of the war room after their selection but they weren't happy. I believe they ended up drafting Milton Williams out of LA Tech. I was always curious if they were pissed that Detroit drafted Alim one pick before them.

[@wolfebilt]

Alim is a stud. He has that twitch and has enough mass and strength to push people around. He is also humble yet sure of himself, which fits the team identity big time.

[@diversifiedassociates8788]

O-line d-line in the trenches breakdown, nice. I think we allowed 3.7 rushing 2023 3rd in the league over 5.2 2022 . Mcneill/reader will keep us in top 5 and improve the secondary along with a top 5 offense. Let's stay healthy and win the superbowl!

[@coachd7846]

He’s a top 5 DT for sure.

[@jeremiahw1369]

Love your work. Didn't know who this was even. I still don't understand why the position is so under discussed, given the value and prices.

[@DLIONSJR02]

Alim really unlock his inner demon and went unnoticed 😂

[@thenickfoxx]

By the way, 13:26 that's actually a Ben Johnson play, not Shanahan's play. Ben Johnson has a lot of imitators now apparently lol. Both teams obviously borrow from eachother and other teams around the league like usual, but yeah, just thought I'd point that out. You can go back and look at week 1 in 2022 Eagles @ Lions, you'll see what I'm talking about.

[@desert_sky_guy]

How is Brad Holmes so brilliant? Putting Reader next to Alim is a cheat code. Just imagine if Brodrick Martin develops under these guys?

[@sagittarianking1398]

4-4 and 3-4 Defenses 🎉🎉

[@DetroitLions23]

Brad Holmes finding talent deep in draft's is what people keep sleeping on with this team. He built it from the ground up.

[@DLIONSJR02]

LFG, I always wanted to see Alim McNeil plays because he’s a mf MONSTER! Him and Dj are gonna be RB BLACK HOLE this year 😈😈 Stay Healthy and strong and the lions make it back to the championship 😤

McNeil was a part of a defense that blew a huge lead! Nobody cares what he did in this game!

[@paulmayer8654]

I’m sure a lot more people are interested in how he did in this game compared to how many people are interested in your opinion.

[@user-xq4pi5nu7g]

@@paulmayer8654 It's not my opinion. The facts are these: the Lions Defense blew a huge lead in the NFC Championship. McNeil was on the field and played in that game. Thus, he lost. Who really cares how you play when you come up empty in the, "BIGGEST GAME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY"!
