Editing Episode 622 (section)

=== Jameer Gibbs ===

Jeremy described Gibbs as the most complete back in the NFL below the very top tier — not just an open-space specialist but effective between the tackles, capable of running through tight windows in A and B gaps, and not afraid of contact. He noted that Gibbs' longest run of the season was 22 yards, compared to four or five 50-plus-yard runs by the same point last year, and suggested this was partly a product of the offensive line's inconsistency, though Gibbs had still managed to turn negative gains into positive ones on many of those rushes. The workload was Jeremy's primary concern: Gibbs led the league in touches per game, the backup (Sione Vaki, a former safety at Utah) was a good role player but not a starter, and Isaiah Pacheco — acquired as the RB2 — was on injured reserve.

The "Sonic and Knuckles" breakup question: Jeremy acknowledged mild regret about ending the Montgomery–Gibbs partnership, primarily because the Lions' stated philosophy of running-back-by-committee had appeared to change the moment they realised they had Jameer Gibbs and could simply hand him 25 carries.
