But...

if you're going to focus on the outside in the way that they have, you got gassed in the slot, especially in games of consequence in December and into the playoffs.

So if that's the case, and we know Jalen Johnson wasn't perfectly healthy, and we know Kyler Gordon wasn't at 100%, but after seeing them and the way they had to chase guys like Christian Watson, for example...

Go ahead and get yourself some speed in the middle of that field.

And that's exactly what they did.

You know Dennis Allen is going to say about Dylan Thienemann that he can run because that 4-3-5, 4-3-6, 4-3-7, whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, that 4-3 plus 40.

That really shows you.

There it is.

All of that, it all translates to speed.

I don't expect to see guys having to duck and hustle as much in the middle of the field as we did last year.

Well, and that seems to be a process again, is Dylan Thienemann was a standout for his ball hawking skills at Purdue going into Oregon.

This was a guy who put himself on the map his freshman year because he knew how to

create takeaways so that seems to translate let's listen to him in his own words the former purdue and then oregon safety talk about how he also just prepares for an opponent

A man in his early 20s, a Gen Z-er, if you will, keeps a notebook like we do?

One of us.

One of us.

I also have a notebook, Dylan.

Good question.

I don't know.
