Trevor, let's dive into the defense, and this one will be a little bit of a quicker conversation because,

0:21.2

you know, you look at their, you look at their defense and it's a, it's a quality,

0:27.0

it's an approved defense, but I actually felt like their defense was decent last year, to be

0:31.7

honest with you. I think that their defense was especially effective when you consider how bad
