What does that look like?
But I would certainly put that near the top of my list along with some pass rush help.
Although last week you kind of heard out of the building that they feel like some of their elevated pass rush improvement in 2026 could be from guys that are already here.
You know, whether that's a Dayo Adengbo coming back from an injury, a Shamar Turner coming back from an injury,
Austin Booker taking the next step in his growth.
We'll see where that goes.
But those would be the top of my list right now in terms of priorities would be the left tackle position and adding some teeth to your pass rush.
What's interesting about that, Layla, is that you're talking about Coleman Shelton having a really solid season with a very established veteran as his quarterback, whereas I think one of the underrated values of Drew Dallman was how much he could take off.
Caleb's plate and how much he could help Caleb with the stuff at the line of scrimmage and being able to really kind of free his mind in that regard.
And so it is kind of a win-win when you look at it through that lens and you get a guy in Dahlman that's going to be back at the Pro Bowl games this week for the first time and just really brought that extra element to your quarterback.
Nothing against Coleman Shelton, but he's able to go โ
Turn a lot of that other stuff over to Matthew Stafford, who obviously has seen it all over the time he's been in the league.
And there's another great reminder of a guy that like, you know, he's done it at a high level for a long time.
Matthew Stafford has.
And, you know, he gets the one run to the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.
And really, you go look at his playoff history.
There's not much beyond that.
Pro Bowl games will be back near his hometown out there in California as well.
So that's a fun little sort of footnote on his storyline.
But, yeah, good little reward for a season that was very deserving of it, in my opinion.
