Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. I'm Robert Mays. Great show for you guys today. Part two of our all-pro selections. We're doing the defense on this show. Matt Bowen is going to be joining us a little bit later to talk about the defensive backfields, corners, safeties, and linebackers.

Before we get to Matt, though, I'm thrilled to continue our conversation from the offensive show with Brandon Thorne. Brandt, let's get to the edge guys. This one also seems pretty easy.

Man, so edge, for me, was pretty challenging. You know, but I do. I know exactly why. I know exactly what you're going to say. Miles Garrett is one of your first team guys, right? Yes. Okay. Yeah, absolutely. We'll start off there with Miles Garrett. So, you know, maybe the last few weeks hasn't really sustained, you know, some of the production that he has early in the

Miles Garrett, his impact, even last night, you know, in that game against the Steelers, you know, I know

Watt had what four sacks or whatever. I mean, I think a lot of that has to do with Baker,

you know, holding onto the ball maybe a little too long. Whereas Ben, you know, he knows he cannot

move. He's getting rid of the ball. And Miles Garrett, how quickly he has won this year consistently has just been, I don't know

if I've ever seen anything like it. I mean, he is literally unblockable. You have to get rid of the

ball literally when your back foot hits as a quarterback or you're getting hit by Miles Garrett.

If you're not giving your offensive linemen any help, then that's almost a
