Football Grump

This is how I do things and we're going to live with it.

And you've seen it like, yeah, they won a Super Bowl.

And then you you look back at it and it's like.

OK, you won a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers.

Congratulations.

In a division where for a long time, Minnesota had nothing going on.

Detroit had nothing going on.

And Chicago was up and down.

Very, very different from John Harbaugh, who had to go against, you know, the Andy Dalton years with Cincinnati were a lot tougher than I think people are going to remember.

And Mike Tomlin every single year, the AFC North and the NFC North were not nearly the same level of competition.

Yeah, I mean, I get the same inkling that like it seems very early for him.

He said a very quick pathway up.

It seems like he's belonged every step of the way.

But I get the sense that he's super passionate about football and will dive into anything and everything.

And you get that sense when you see how much he bounced around, just like you said, outside linebackers, linebackers, passing game coordinator and DBs, past Russian linebackers and then defensive coordinator.

That 2024 year as defensive coordinator, by the way, is the first year that they had to go without Aaron Donald in the middle.

That was his first year as defensive coordinator.

So imagine that as a super young guy, you know, whatever, I guess not super young, 30 years old.

No, nothing that stuck out in particular.

You know, I'm going to say, like, that was a game I went strictly to enjoy.
