James Cook has done a lot better as being kind of more of a sound running back. Ray Davis is really punching people in the face. And it's really just taking advantage of defenses are terrified of Josh Allen. So their bills are just like, all right, we'll take six yards.

Yeah, they're on the short list here. But Ravens, I already mentioned them. The Eagles realizing, oh yeah, Saquon Barkley's good. Let's just get under center and hand them the ball. No, the Panthers is a great example. They invested in their guards. And that was to help out Bryce Young and keep the pocket, the interior of the pocket clean.

I don't know if you've watched him yet, but he is one of the most fun watches in any sports. So yeah, Ashton Gentry, running back from Boise State. But then there's a lot of day two backs.

He can get away with it because he's 6'5", 250 and we can give him the ball 40 times. So we're kind of getting to this new thing where it's like, yeah, you need, you can't just go, oh, running backs don't matter in the sense that, yeah, or I'm sorry, you can say running backs don't matter. Don't take them in the first round, but you can't just ignore the position. Like you have to step.

Like Dallas State, you still have to invest. Look at the Vikings who, like Sam Darnold's had a good year, you know, turning into a pumpkin a little bit right now. Defense has got a lot of headlines with Brian Flores. They also took Aaron Jones. They signed Aaron Jones. Yep. Totally changed their run game because he's explosive.
