I had a story up a couple days ago, and I put a link up here now, that discuss the commander's defense and just why they are excited about what they've done

this offseason. I'm going to talk a lot about the defense right now, but that story is also up there,

so if you want to give it a look. And also as a reminder, I will be back on Monday night

slash Tuesday with another episode talking to Clemson coach Davos Sweeney about new

commander's receiver receiver Antonio Williams.

Yes, he's excited about him, but he'll explain why he thinks that Williams can be a very

good receiver in the league and what he says in comparison with Williams to some of the other

really good receivers he's coached at Clemson in the past. So really good interview with

Davo, so I appreciate it his time. So that'll come out. That'll be the next episode. And then later in the week, we'll have another one. And then we have rookie minicamp on Friday. So I'll be doing a wrap up of the rookie mini camp after our session. So that would be Friday afternoon. So that one would come out Friday night slash Saturday morning for the video. So anyways, that's all I got for that.

Let's get to the defense because that's what they've focused on so heavily this

offseason.

That's what my article was about.

And I wanted to kind of go into a little bit more of that right here.

And just, but before I go, like first, before I get into a lot of their stuff, why there is

optimism. Let's just say, look, okay, we've seen optimism here before that hasn't panned

out. So you never know how it's going to play out. How quickly can they come together as a group?
