I'm not evaluating from a Dr. Chow standpoint.
But I felt like he's on that path.
Yeah, I think they're excited.
I think they realize that they lost a lot of players.
I think Drew was very aware of what the Chiefs lost, and I think he was very excited to see the Chiefs reload in the NFL draft.
And then I felt George Karloftis was nice in the sense of being honest about how disappointing the defensive line has been.
And I think they really feel that the second year of Ashton Gilati and now
inserting a little bit more of a change-up defensive end speed.
Rusher and R. Mason Thomas can get them back to where they need to be.
And I think by adding Peter Woods as well and Kyrus Tonga, it is an infusion of talent along the defensive line.
both rookie and the veteran ad that they feel really good about, now it is a matter of executing.
And I think when you look at the complete body of work, Steve Fagnolo and Joe Cullen have done a really nice job, but now it's finishing, it's getting to the quarterback, it's making the opposing quarterback uncomfortable.
You know, there's cases to be made that aside from quarterback, defensive end, defensive line is most important, the next most important position.
And so the Chiefs really reloaded.
And so now you're seeing a leader, a veteran leader, crazy how fast time goes.
But in George Karloff, there's just the excitement of what they could potentially be or return to in 2026.
Yeah, it was an exciting time for me.
I wasn't as big a fan as I am now, but I watched games with my dad, and I think that was a magical run from what I can remember.
