He has been our best player on our defense these past couple of weeks
the fact he skol clapped at the vikings fans will forever cement this as one of my favorite plays ( close to the last arron rodgers throw as a packer to kerby)
The viking mascots reaction makes it that much sweeter
Ya'll better keep him on the field when Deuce comes back..
But, who do be bench, iffy or branch? It’s a hard knock life man
@@schultzy5087 3 safety personnel
@@schultzy5087it's a great problem to have tho, ain't it? Meli has been balling lately, and now we'll be getting Deuce back just in time for the playoffs. If it was up to me I'd honestly keep Meli on the field just because he's been BALLING lately, so we gotta keep going with what's working. I'd put Ceedy on the field in certain packages, just to get him some reps so he gets back readjusted to the game. But damn man, Kerby Joseph is playing well too so i wouldn't take him completely off the field BUT I'd rather have Ceedy and Meli on the field together than Ceedy and Kerby.
I’d try all three out on the field forcing them to throw branch on the outside n put CjDj at slot iffy strong safety
@@ronyasharahla1012 well, considering how bad our number 2 corners have been playing this year I think Branch may be a better number 2 guy. And like u said, put Ceedy back at the slot corner, and keep Iffy and Kerby at safety.
He's been playing like an All-pro the past 2 weeks.
Correction: he is playing like NFC Defensive player of the week...
I just love watching my teams highlights. I cant believe this is who we are now. Feels so amazing
My exact sentiment. Feels great for a change.
Give credit to Holmes for drafting him and the coaches for developing him. Well done.
Great player. He has been all over the field lately.
Iffy is the MAN!
Iffy coming out of nowhere!!! What a gift he's been going into our playoff run ... plus Ceedy coming back. The football gods are just on our side this year. Wouldn't be surprised if ....
That’s Detroit Football 💪🏽
One man wrecking crew.....love him!
Love the look on JJ's face after the pick! Man needs some sleep.
My man came in so hard these past couple weeks! Ballin
Dude was amazing with the game winning INT!! Even tho D was questionable! Go Lions!!
Win none the less. Tired of you ass 🤡s talking about the defense. CJ out! Houston out! Mosley our FA CB out! Big V out! Alim McNeil out! You take 4 to 5 MAJOR contributors off the Eagles 49ers and Dallas and let's see if they still win 11 games! Way to go Aaron Glen. Happy to have you on board with these mediocre defense you've been given. Tell B Homes to Draft the same game changing studs on defense that you draft on offense.
He needs to go to CB
Guys stepping up at the right time..LETS GOOOO!!
Lions defense needed someone to step up. Never in a hundred years did I think it would be Iffy… so glad he did tho ❤
I’ll be honest, I thought Ife was a bust. Year 1 & 2 having injuries and rarely on the field. I honestly wrote him off. Then to see him emerging as a defensive presence and huge part in the victories these last weeks. I have never seen a safety play as good as him in the last 3 weeks! Keep it up Ife, sorry I doubted you.
Never heard of a 3rd round bust
I'm really happy Iffy is getting his rep up now. I also wrote him off after year two,but he's stepped up like crazy. Now,can we also get the Levi O to bounce back like this? Would really appreciate it.
What? It's always been a third round bust in the NFL every year I think we drafted one this year Broderick Martin he ain't been getting on the field even though we are desperate for defensive line men. @@harrellwilliams5010
That’s why you don’t give up on players that early, especially in their first year. Best thing is to keep them until rookie contract is almost up, then give them a change of scenery if it doesn’t work out, sometimes even benefits players, like Swift.
This defense is really good right now and you want to be with playoffs coming!! Go Lions
I still cant believe it!!!! WhoooooooooHoooooooooooooooo!! 🦁 #OnePride #TrueGrit
Iffy is exactly what this defense needed. Interceptions, tackles for loss, sacks, PBU; he’s doing it all and needs to stay on the field even when CJGJ returns.
Big Plays, always get after the quarter back no matter what.. Keep the pressure going...Youth will Win! Detroit's Offense and Defense is On and Popping! Lets Get it! Lions Kingdom! One Pride!
Division champ baby🎉
Ive been waiting my whole life for this
Great job getting a little further away from our end zone and then sliding down to end the play in bounds. Great awareness! Undisciplined players would continue to try to run the ball back, possibly fumble so I commend you Iffy on being a well disciplined and knowledgeable player!
Clock stops on turnover either way, but yeah falling down away from the endzone were both solid, heady moves so we could do a victory formation without issue.
AG !!!! The best man plays 💯
Iffy!!!
That first sack was definitely a fumble !! And Mel has been playing elite
Mullins was 100% already down before the ball came out… but I agree with Mel playing amazing lately
His elbow was down prior to the ball, leaving his hand
Nah, Mullens' elbow/forearm were on the turf before he released the ball, but fact remains that Iffy has more growing to do to learn how to strip the ball when the QB is holding it like a loaf of bread as he was on Iffy's 2 sacks in this game. Kid has potential yet to be realized.
amazing!!!!!!!!!!
I SEE YOU 6!!!
We have some tough decisions coming. That's what good teams deal with :)
I see a lot of dime going forward. CJ in the slot opposite of branch
When CJ comes back MCDC is going to have to pull somebody else out cuz Iffy absolutely needs to be on the field for us.
Rotate them and keep them fresh. Iffy is showing a nose for blitzes, and CJGJ is more of a ball-hawk, so I'd imagine AG will use them accordingly when the down and distance dictates more likely run vs more likely pass, etc.
2 sacks and 2 plays where Mullens was holding the ball like a sack of feathers and Iffy doesn't strip the ball. When he learns to do that, he'll take the next step. Nice to see him making plays now and to know that he has a lot more work to do to reach his ceiling.
Plenty of edge rushers haven't mastered the strip sack. Melifonwu had a strip sack on Russ. I don't think he needs to work more on that. A safety with 3 sacks in 2 games is plenty good production. I'd rather Houston back and him work on his strip sack.
@@MattPawlowski yeah, you're right, he shouldn't try to get better at his craft.
@@Bluebloods7 no you're right. A safety who blitzes on occasion needs to focus mostly on strip sacks 👍🏻
Coverage and reads won't take him to the next level, it's definitely the strip sack! 🙄
We gave a great problem now. Not enough spots for all the good players. Ceedy might be just this one year, seeing the emergence of iffy
🔥
Wwwwwuuuuuuu!
We need an inside the den NFC North Champions vid
Iffy is in a zone right now, quit playin with him!
Bro whole reason we’re here
I heard somebody saying that Kyle Hamilton is balling out rn and should’ve been a Lion; I think this guy Iffy is our Kyle Hamilton
Hamilton is a ginormous baller, but I could never imagine a safety going 2 overall.
Grafton Mass represent
We found a playmaker in the secondary!!!! Please don't bench him for CJGJ
I rather see Kerby benched over him right now tbh.
Cj is a play maker as well. I agree with him, take Kirby out
I called it Dec 2 lions need to but him in as safely and they did, Somebody on the lions Listened 😀
First comment, Go Lions! The kings Of The North! #OnePride #DetroitGrit
It’s alright. Go Lions Though!
Post the call of the game by Dan Miller!!
I think CJGJ is now a backup safety
It should be a lot 3 safety sets when CJ comes back
My best friends cousin great kid played hs football in mass
Branch and CJGJ should split the nickel and keep Iffy and Kerby on the field at safety
Look all I’m sayin is CJ needs to go to Corner… Why? We have practice squad players starting at CB and CJ is really good at saftey or corner so him and Sutton plus the other guys who get rotated in such as jacobs Vildor and Dorsey only player who shouldn’t be playing for us is Will Harris
My internal monologue if I am a quarterback and he's on the field is "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
He looked like he was doing dash speeds to come smash him
Hey yo,Mellow is the truth
if they drop him when gardner-johnson returns the defensive coordinator needs to be fired and they will lose
Nobody is getting "dropped" - DB's notoriously get hurt and gassed, so his presence as a viable rotational guy back there will help keep CJGJ fresh as he gets back into the grind of playing NFL games after being out all season. The depth back there being shored up along w/ McNeil coming back (and maybe Houston if we get a couple playoff win's), will be huge when facing Stafford/Dak/Hurts etc.
3rd
So Cominsky could fall on the fumble that was eventually overturned but couldn’t in the fourth quarter in the biggest moment of the game 😒😂
Johnathan Vilma is absolutely horrible.
what is up with the stupid music?
I hope we some madden like plays with some iffy at that “big nickel” LB spot with Ceedy coming back. Been too good to keep off the field
When CJ comes back MCDC is going to have to pull somebody else out cuz Iffy absolutely needs to be on the field for us.
