How do you counter?
Right.
And and in college, what happened was you played a lot of too high shells to prevent the big plays.
But utilizing like whether it's a three three and having three interior linemen that could stop the run, but then having a lot more athletic hybrid guys because you got to be able to stop the run with three versus four to have guys in the back end.
So after that whole lecture there.
What you've seen in college is there's a lot of guys that are wearing a lot of different hats.
And, you know, Caleb Downs, quite honestly, if you go back to Alabama, his first year where he was like the first freshman in the history of Alabama to lead that defense and tackles, to what he did his first year at Ohio State, and even that role kind of โ
adjusted to what he did in his third year with Matt Patricia, all kind of different things.
And you see it with a lot of these guys.
And this is a really โ it's a good safety class, and it's not just Dylan Thienemann from Oregon who also played free safety as a freshman at Purdue and then played more of an in-the-box role, and not just Emmanuel McNeil-Warren.
Those are the three first-rounders at safety.
But after that, like Zaki Wheatley from Penn State,
Trayden Stukes, who's a perfect example.
You want to talk about a guy late in the second that could wind up coming in to Chicago and...
Takes the ball away.
He's labeled as a nickel safety, okay?
So he can play that overhang.
He can play around the box.
He can do a lot of different things.
And he worked out extremely well at the combine.
