All right, I'm going to, I want to do a critical question.

And then we can get into a little later on.

T.J. had a very interesting conversation with the lions and scenarios. We'll get into it later. I want you to just tell us something or nothing. I don't know what to make of it. And I said, you know what? We're not going to do this yesterday. We're going to wait for T.J. Okay. So I want to give you Kelvin Shepard on Aleem McNeil, and then Alim McNeil kind of responding.

Okay. So I want to give you Kelvin Shepard on Aleem McNeil, and then Aleem McNeil kind of responding. Okay. And you tell me... I have not heard this, by the way. This is going to be new to me.

Stop trying to be a linebacker and a defensive tackle.

There's not too many D-tackles that worry about the stuff I'm trying to see.

Is that in any way him saying stop playing me on the end?

No, because I don't think so because he hasn't recently.

He's been, like there was when he first came back, a couple weeks it started, where, no, because I don't think so because he hasn't recently. He's been, like there was when he first came back, a couple weeks, where, uh, and that was when you were, obviously, with Marcus Davenport being back.

I mean, I know you guys aren't going to give him any flowers.

Congrats.

Hey, you're alive.

But that does give you a bigger body on the outside to where you can get back to that
