I use the term in a video this week, resilient.

Because, you know, you had a couple players that had some struggles in that game that came back and made big plays towards the end of that game.

Tyson got beat on the double move for a 50-yarder.

Brian had a couple drops and then has a big play at the end of the ball game.

You know, so, I mean, that's the kind of players you want to have, right?

I mean, for a football team, guys that are resilient, they can bounce back.

Now you like to not have them make mistakes earlier in the ballgame.

But if they do, that's the trait you want to have.

That was a good call.

So, James, you didn't have to go through the pain last year, okay, with this defense.

But there was a lot of struggles in the back end.

And when you got here, you used the term often intangibly rich.

I'm watching the way that your back end is communicating now with Wingard, who was a guy that was already here but really didn't have the opp.

or opportunity, Eric Murray, who you brought in, and Jordan Lewis, who is probably the modern-day Calais Campbell when it comes to leadership for this organization.

I mean, that's just been, I think, a big part of where this defense is at and why they were able to do what they did in that game and in the first two games.

Where would you rank that environment amongst other road places?

You've been there more than we have.

Oh, the fog horn.

Correct.

Just be glad Seattle's not on the road this year.
