They eat it.

They sleep it.

They breathe it.

And I think we're able to identify those type of guys.

And when you have guys like that, they usually find a way to come out on top.

Where Colin was wrong.

You and Ryan both were pretty open all offseason about needing pass rush improvement.

The fact that you didn't sign a big name one, you didn't draft an edge rusher.

How is it going to get better with the same guys who were out there last year?

Well, we're certainly gonna coach better than what we did a year ago And I like I said before it starts there.

We've made a concerted effort and how we're gonna get that done We were excited about the guys that ended up finishing the season on IR the trajectory that they were on both dio and Shamar

When you look at it from the start of the season to the point where they both got injured, we saw growth and we saw them turn in the right direction in terms of what we want to see on game day.

I think Sweat had one of his better years in the NFL, whether that shows up in the sack total or not.

He's a very complete player, both run game and pass game.

And I think you saw tremendous growth from Booker when we were finally able to get him back as well.

So the combination of us being able to coach better and those guys taking the next step,

as part of this system.

Um, you know, I, I think we're, we got some pretty good pieces to work with.

I couldn't be more pleased with Ryan and his crew.

These scouts, they went out this fall and they collected all kinds of information and I think they absolutely nailed it.
