From the episode

Atlantic brought in Brian Robinson Jr., who I think is more capable running back in Atlanta than Detroit brought in Isaiah Pacheco, who's not as good as David Montgomery.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Pacheco is less capable than Montgomery, securing Gibbs' workload advantage over Robinson.

Pacheco was brought in by the Lions to replace David Montgomery, but he is not as capable a running back as Montgomery was. This is cited as a reason to prefer Jameer Gibbs over Bijan Robinson, as the Lions' replacement back is inferior to the Falcons' replacement (Brian Robinson Jr.), making Gibbs' workload more secure.
