We'll eventually start having those conversations.

It's been cool because anytime you have a new coaching staff come in, you're hoping that they saw the same vision as you did.

And in terms of Ben, Dan Rochard, Kyle, the van, they share that vision.

not only, you know, we're excited about where he's at, but we're really excited what Darnell can be.

If he continues to put in the work that he has been, we think he can be, you know, a really talented tackle in this league and help us win championships.

Yeah, I think it's always possible.

Things got to come together.

That mindset was there from the day I walked in.

But those opportunities, the clarity that we needed wasn't all there.

So we were able to capitalize on some cool situations there through trade and for agency.

I'm not sure how that's all going to line up now.

I know from a cap perspective, we probably don't have enough to make all of that work on the defensive line.

I do think...

On our D-line, I think there were some situations, mostly injury, that didn't allow that to really come together the way it was supposed to.

So I look forward to that happening.

But we're also going to have to continue to bring talent in to create competition so that our defense can take the next step.

Yeah, I think it's always possible.

Things got to come together.

That mindset was there from the day I walked in.

But those opportunities, the clarity that we needed wasn't all there.
