There's no question, him and Bowles. You know, Garrett Bowles has become, again, a high-end left tackle. The Quinn Miners versus Ed Oliver matchup is going to be awesome to watch, you know, because those two dudes are outstanding. When they play their best, their units usually play their best.

Bo Nix and Sutton have been really good. They, you know, I don't want to sit here and pretend that Denver's Philadelphia running the football, but Sean Payton wants to run the football. And then what happens is like you just become obsessed and stop at the run and they'll get a perimeter screen to go 50 for a touchdown. But Miners, he's a stud. He's a monster at guard.

Yeah, Kyle Hamilton saved their season. So there's the butterfly effect to it. So they were really bad on defense because the secondary was just blown coverages, missed assignments, poor communication, ball going over their head. And so their best player on defense was closer to the line of scrimmage.

They had Kyle down near the line of scrimmage, a little bit like what the Rams have done in the past with like a Jalen Ramsey and whatnot, which makes sense. The Chargers do it with Derwin. But what they did was they say, okay, the worst part of our defense is the secondary. Let's take our best player and move him back there. So once they move Kyle back to the secondary, two things happen.

One, he communicates at such a high level. He gets everybody in the right positions. And we often say that and don't think it's meaningful. It's enormous. Because in an era in football, offensively, where teams are constantly changing with shifts and motions, you know, those guys' rules change. It's not like the defense calls, hey, cover two, ready, break, and it just stays that way no matter what.

And so everybody's kind of rules change once offensive shifts. And so Kyle goes back there and he he is the quarterback of the defense. He gets everybody in the right places and everybody on the same page. And then what happens is Roquan Smith, their linebacker, no longer has to bear that responsibility.

So then his focus is solely on the front seven and the backers in the rush and getting those guys, because their rules change as well. So getting those guys into the right alignment and right set. So that's the trickle-down effect of Kyle going back there. I think the second part of that is... Two-fold. It allows Marlon Humphrey to go inside because Marlon is an all-pro nickel.
