You know, that NFL tape doesn't matter. Hey, look at what he did at Ole Miss that last year. I know. And guys like Mazie Smith, when he gets drafted, they're like, no, he's going to stop the run for us. It's like, he didn't do that in college. What makes you think he's going to get better at it in the NFL? They let a guy like Jonathan Hankins go. He's just a role-playing nose tackle.

But he was like their most significant player on the defense. And then they're just like, yeah, we don't need him, actually. He was like, no, you do. You do need him on your defense. So... I guess this is kind of a negative thing, but it is something I've been enjoying.

Number four is surprising defenses. Improved defenses. This is a way. So this was my Eagles one, one of them. But teams like the Eagles, the Chargers, the Broncos, the Lions, even teams like the Chiefs, who had a really good defense last year, are even better this year. The Bills, who were expected to have a little drop-off on defense. Who could have guessed that one?

Yeah, and they are just cooking and doing a great job there. So I'll start with the Eagles, and this is more Vic Fangio going like, oh, yeah, this is why everyone used to want to hire Vic Fangio. And they have a lot of good young players and new faces really stepping up for them, and it's been really fun. Quinion Mitchell, their first-round pick, corner from Toledo has been great.

As a rookie, rookie corner is really hard.

We have. And just really the last like two, three years, rookies, it used to be like year two, you expect a corner to be like even baseline. It's like a rookie in the NBA.

Like even if they like average, you're like, hell yeah. Like that's good. But with Quinnian, it's like he's no, that's a good starter as a rookie. And he takes it to guys, which is really fun. Like he can actually go against number ones. But then Cooper Dejean, who plays in the slot for them, has been tremendous.

Like both of these two guys are going to be on the short list for defensive rookie of the year at the end of the year. And that was their first two picks. And Dajin from the slot, it's a very important position in this defense. How much they have to do in the run game, how much they have to blitz because of the soft kind of coverages they run. And he has been awesome.
