Yeah, I mean, I think overall it was pretty good.

I mean, I know that there were some times in the middle of the year that maybe things weren't perfect.

I think, look, Cairo Santos, what he was able to do, especially in the second half of the season, and it's probably a deeper conversation, but we are living in an NFL world right now where you have...

multiple kickers making 60-plus yard field goals, right?

And so that becomes kind of the shiny new toy everybody wants, right?

Oh, we need one of those.

And I get it.

There's certainly distance on kicks helps you.

But as we learned, and maybe there comes a time where the Bears actually have a stadium with a roof on it, and it won't matter as much.

But what we saw in the last half of the season when the weather turned, how important it is to have a kicker

who can go up there and drain a 51-yard field goal in the weather, in the wind, and kick it with confidence.

And Cairo Santos proved that probably for this team, that matters more than the distance.

And so I think that the season he had was really good.

Tory Taylor is an interesting case because certainly every player that comes in the league that's drafted, you're kind of defined by your draft status.

And so any punter that gets drafted, you expect big things.

And I think he's been...

Mostly good.

Has he been great?

I still think there's another level that he can get to.

But I think that that's still on the table going into next season.
