but it's a little bit different to play with.
I think they know that in terms of the players that they need to draft, but I don't think you really know it until you're seeing them play with Patrick.
So I think that part of the offense, to me, is what I have my eye on this offseason for sure.
Yeah, I mean, that question has been asked of Andy Reid since my dad was covering Andy Reid in Philadelphia.
Like, as a broadcaster and as a reporter, like, that's always been an off-season question of, is he going to change this because now this back comes a part of the equation?
And, you know, I think that that's a thing that's going on around the league right now.
I mentioned Philadelphia.
It's happening with whether Jalen Hurts is going to get under center more.
And that helps, I don't know, Saquon Barkley, who's an outstanding back who would prefer, in all honesty, to run behind a quarterback that's under center.
And they still didn't do it.
And that's one of the best backs in football because the quarterback wasn't really watching to go under center.
I think Patrick's a little bit more inclined to go under center than, say, Jalen is.
But I want to see how it changes.
I want to see how Emma Johnson plays into it because it was interesting.
You mentioned the podcast.
Maurice Jones drew on the other day talking about the fit with these different backs, and I think we all know MJD's relationship with Eric Bien-Ami, and they talked a ton about Evan Johnson, and they talked a ton about maybe using two backs at the same time, and maybe, you know, obviously we know that Kenneth Walker comes from a split backfield.
Is that something that's going to continue more, or did you pay for this guy to be your workhorse?
