Final part of the show today is going to be about the defense.

0:19.0

And I really think this defense is going to be really good

0:21.6

this season. And this is going to take on a little bit of a different tone than the offense did.

0:27.9

Because with the defense, the question is really not about, it's not initially about will they be good enough. It's kind of like, okay, are they going to just not

0:40.8

take a step back and will they regress? You know, like, is what we saw in year two more of what

0:51.7

an old golden defense looks like than what we saw in year one.

0:55.3

I think that it is, and I could sit here and make an hour long case for why that is,

1:24.2

It was all new.

1:25.6

It was all new to them. And of course, we go into year two,

1:29.2

and it's some of the same players, but you lost Foski, you lost the Adamiola's, you lost

1:34.1

Tariq Bracey, you lost Brandon Joseph, you lost some good football players. But guys knew what
