Hey, John, it's

congratulations on your 1,000th episode, man, that's so awesome.

on ESPN.com. I have a story up or I'll have one. Either it's either about now or it'll be up

soon about the commander's run defense, why they feel optimistic that it's going to be in a much better

place this year.

It can't get a lot worse, but could it be a lot better?

This is, the story kind of explains, and I'll probably talk about this on the podcast down the

road, but the story does explain why they feel optimistic this year.

So in a minute, I'll be joined by Greg Kosell, of course, with NFL films,

with the ESPN NFL matchup show, one of the better shows that we have. I just think if

you like football insight, it's really good. Just no, you know, nuts and bolts, insight,

always really well done by the NFL matchup show. Anyways, so he'll be joining me in a minute.

We talk about Jane Daniels, talk about the commander's defense, their offseason.

Have they done enough to close the gap against, you know, with the Eagles?

And, of course, the answers will start coming in a few months.

But anyways, that's what Greg was going to talk about.
