You don't want to have that kind of luck every year.

But on the other hand, you also don't have the bad luck where you lose a guy who's at the beginning of his contract for for, you know, potentially a season, a career ending injury, I should say.

And they haven't come out with that definitively yet.

But that's sure as heck is what it sounds like.

They had to do a lot of things to to try and rebuild that.

But you can't rebuild your penetrating three tech on the run.

What you can do is go to the street and get a bunch of nose tackles.

So a lot of you, they were playing with four nose tackles.

And that's pretty good for stopping the run game.

They were effective at stopping the run.

But it wasn't particularly effective for the pass rush.

And they showed up pretty poorly there.

The one guy who did jump out in a big year was Travis Jones.

But the edge rushers were very weak this year.

You got a rookie in Mike Green, who I think is going to be very good.

But Kyle Vannoy had a bad year.

It took definitely a big step backwards.

And David Ajabo was in the final year of a complete failure of a draft pick.

So they ended up, they fixed some things towards the end of the year, but that was bad.

The other thing is they had injuries in the secondary.
