Starting point is 00:00:09 Hello and welcome to move the line presented by Circus Sports. Ryan, I'm joined here. As always, by my friend Connor Allen, continuing to unpack the offseason here. Training camps open everywhere across the league, Connor. We're going to pack some of the prominent or really all the coaching changes. How are we doing today? Great. Yeah, this is an awesome time of year.
Starting point is 00:00:28 We start to figure out more about the players. We started to figure out more about coaching changes and what they're actually going to do. Whether an offensive coordinator is going to be more impactful versus a head coach, whose system is it going to be. So there's so many different moving pieces right now. And we get a little bit more clarity over the next couple weeks. And I think this is the most exciting time of year, like leading up to the season, obviously. It was a long off season.
Starting point is 00:00:49 The draft is fun. But there's a lot of noise leading up to training camp. And I think the training camp kind of helps either solidify things or, you know, kind of brushes things away. We get some questions answered. There's a lot of noise that will come out in the next couple of weeks as well. But we also do get some final news and some, you know, things that we've been. speculating on or, you know, just kind of reading some tea leaves over the course of the summer, you know, some early coach speak things. But like we start to actually get the answers
Starting point is 00:01:18 in terms of, you know, whether it's depth chart stuff or, you know, and again, it can be some stuff early. Like we talked about yesterday, we were talking about like Nathaniel Hacken, the offensive coordinator stuff in, in Arizona where it's like, oh, yeah, like Jeremiah loves, yeah, he's a rookie. And they make you want to feel like this guy's buried on the depth chart. He's really got to earn his keep. But at the same time, you do have some instances where, like, oh, this is what's happening here or, you know, this guy's aligning here and all of a sudden there tends to be, again, at least a little bit more than just the tea leaves. So finally, football. So, and it was a busy offseason in the coaching side. But before we dig into that,
Starting point is 00:01:52 just want to remind you, move the line, wherever you listen to podcast, move the line on YouTube. Find us however you like to consume this content.

We'll have some cool announcements there. Also, if you want to join us with all the cool things that serve, Circa is doing. I can dig into the show notes there as well. But Connor, you tell the listeners a little bit about what Circa's got going on. Yeah, real quick, Circa Survivor, Circa Millions, 30 million plus dollars guaranteed. All of them are capped on the number of entries you can do.
Starting point is 00:02:54 So not going to be too many people. Max Entering, I don't think, or I guess max entering is only 10 for the Circa Survivor pool. So not too bad there. Great contest. No rake. A lot of fun. We'll be out there for sign-up weekend, firing off an entry and hanging out. So if you end up making it out there, definitely let us know.
Starting point is 00:03:10 we'll connect. Yeah, can't wait for that. I love the no-raig piece too. It's super cool. Andy and Whale or Deep Dive brothers from another show be out there as well. So, you know, hang out with us and check it up. More information in the show notes.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Let's unpack the coaching changes. There are a lot of coaching changes. I mean, you consider how many jobs are out there. You basically had like half the league turnover, which is really wild. You're 21. 21 new offensive coordinators, 14 new defensive coordinators. 15 if you were to count an exact Kerr, New England,
Starting point is 00:03:47 who basically was the defensive coordinator last year, not by name. But that's a lot of a lot of turnover, a lot on the head coach side as well. We can run through these, but I'll give you the floor. What do you think is the most impactful coaching change, head coach, offensive coordinator, what kind of jumps out to you first when you think about, new guy, new role, 2026. Yeah, I think there's so many, but I think Mike McDaniel, the charges, the offensive coordinator is a huge one. That one's just the most exciting to me because he didn't really seem like a guy who was a really good head coach, didn't really seem like a people person type of human, like motivator, I guess, type of coach.
Starting point is 00:04:25 I think he's very sharp. You know, the offense that he was able to do and work out with no offensive line for a couple of years with Tua and, you know, crazy Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. I thought it was really impressive. I mean, for a couple of years, they had one of the best offices in the league with okay, okay to good parts around them, nothing special. Now I think he has a lot more as long as offensive fliances healthy. So Mike McDaniel is probably my number one, but there's a ton of impactful ones. Yeah, I agree with that one. I think that one from like a fantasy prop related standpoint, there's, I think a lot of excitement there.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And again, we're not going to be the first guy that just ends up being maybe a kick-ass coordinator who just didn't have the skill set to be. a head coach. I don't think that makes him more or less of a coordinator, but like it's a totally different skill set. Like, you know, there's, I'd be really good people that can like, do parts of the job, maybe couldn't do a job, but could like actually manage people doing the job. It's like saying like your best basketball coaches aren't always your best basketball players. Like, but like, you can also have a guy who could never play in the league can lead a team in the coach, right? Like, same example in football you would say too. Like, you know, just because you can't do the head coaching job doesn't make you less of a creative offensive mind and probably allows someone
Starting point is 00:05:42 like that to like really hyper focus and like dial in on what he does well and he doesn't have to worry about the other side of the ball or you know coaching coaches literally they can just work with his quarterback work with his positional coaches and dial stuff in I think that one is definitely uh you know probably one of the more interesting ones Titans overall I think is interesting too. Robert Sala is not a guy that could be another one of these examples of like, maybe you're just a better coordinator. But like he also has an offensive coordinator that I think kind of fits that role too in Brian Dayball, who maybe isn't a great head coach, but maybe just dialing in on the offensive side. If you're watching with us on YouTube, I put together,
Starting point is 00:06:21 it's a free article on the site. Coaching changes hub. It's got, you know, interactive interface that allows you to kind of go into all these teams and what some of the little notes that I made on maybe where they've been in the past and what to expect from a fantasy and betting angle, you know, in terms of what we have going on. But, yeah, I mean, we know that Saul is coming from, you know, Seattle, basically the Pete Carroll roots. They'll do that Y-9 thing. I think he's, you know, again, gets to hyper-focused on the defensive side, knowing that he's got a guy that can handle the offensive side.
Starting point is 00:06:53 So I think that's an interesting one for sure. You know, the Bill's one's interesting. You've pushed back a little bit on the Joe Brady internal promotion in Buffalo. having one of the teams that's, you know, has basically across the board change things with, you know, Brady kind of running the show, you know, Pete Carmichael at offensive coordinator and Leonard at D.C. Talk to me about your, your Joe Brady, I guess, reluctancy to buy into. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but, you know, you said something similar earlier. I guess I just don't think anything's going to change. So I expect the bills who were good before
Starting point is 00:07:27 to also stay good and continue to lean on the run when they can. I think it makes them just more in control of, I guess, their surroundings. You know, Josh Allen is still volatile from time to time. And then they brought in Pete Carmichael Jr. Formerly Offensive Coordinator, I think they're going to use, that might help unlock James Cook in the passing game a little bit more. I think that that kind of mesh with Joe Brady might be interesting. And I'm sure that Joe Brady is going to be, you know, using suggestions for Pete Carmichael.
Starting point is 00:07:56 But I just can't imagine they entirely shift their focus to a Pete Carmichael offense first what they're doing with Joe Brady who obviously got the promotion there. So I think it's somewhat interesting, but I don't know if it's massively impactful. Then obviously losing Sean McDermott. Then you have Jim Leonard. I don't know if you want to talk about that at all. Maybe the defense changes it a little bit. That's possible, I think.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Yeah, it could be, it sounds like they're going to be based off of what Leonard's done in the past. It will probably be a little bit more sewn heavy than what they've done. I think they have the personnel to kind of do whatever they want. They have a decent amount of versatility in the secondary. I mentioned to see kind of who wins. jobs and like what is C.J. Garner Johnson is he going to be just kind of a pure safety for them, played a little bit in a slot in nickel for Chicago last year. You know, they've made some other changes in terms of some different personnel. T. Alford's in is pretty much just a primarily
Starting point is 00:08:47 a nickel slot. So in general, probably neutral. They just need more from their pass rush and see if they can get any sort of play from their linebackers, especially in coverage. But again, still probably a pretty competitive football team. What do you, make of something if you look across the line like you know Cincinnati here um new england if you scroll up no coaching changes so like continuity from year to year um do you value that a little bit more is that something that like should Cincinnati be making some coaching changes you can make it the case that they probably should um do you value that at all is that impact anything that you're doing you know from like a high level handicapping standpoint i value it if they were good
Starting point is 00:09:27 it's like offensive line continuity like running back five five guys that suck I mean And yeah, maybe it's like marginally better, but if they suck, they suck. So I'm not really too big, much of a big believer on especially coaches changing drastically over one year period. I think we've seen some coaches leave the league, come back, kind of reinvent themselves, or like Andy Reid has changed kind of his formula and how he wins over the course of his career, obviously a really long time. But from a year to year standpoint, I don't think that a coach is going to drastically change
Starting point is 00:09:59 anything that quickly. So if they stuck, I expect very similar things the previous year. Yeah, it's fair. It's hard. It's probably as a case-by-case situation. I think a lot's expected in Baltimore with Jesse Minter coming in. You know, again, like was attached to some great staffs, obviously with Harbaugh. How can he handle this in terms of it being kind of his own show?
Starting point is 00:10:23 And again, definitely a defensive-minded coach with a very young, inexperienced Declan Doyle as an offensive coordinator. again tied to Sean Payton and Ben Johnson. It's a pretty good place for your offensive coordinator to be, but a young guy, you know, how does that impact what's happened in Baltimore the last couple of years with Todd Munkin? How does that look different? What does that change? I think that's definitely one that, again, their expectations are high, right?
Starting point is 00:10:49 This is kind of, you know, is a team that has more projected wins than basically anyone else in the AFC, you know, any thoughts on Declan Doyle or Jesse Minter. I think those are a couple interesting ones. Yeah, I think Declan Doyle is really interesting. Pre-snap motion of Doyle with the Bears, obviously, I think it was mostly a Ben Johnson offense, but I would assume that Doyle was going to take as much as he can from Ben Johnson and kind of implemented himself. So I would anticipate this being pretty static. So he was over 60% pre-snap motion.
Starting point is 00:11:19 The Bears were in 2025. Ravens were only 52%. Under center was 12% higher. Bears versus Ravens. Play action was 10% higher. all things that I think are pretty interesting. And then screens were a good bit higher as well. So getting Lamar in kind of some easier throws, I think could be helpful for him as well.
Starting point is 00:11:37 And then also, I don't know, leveraging his legs a little bit. He was obviously a little bit banged up. That could be really interesting, something that obviously Caleb Williams runs, but there weren't really a ton of designed runs, nothing really Lamar-esque for the most part there. So I think that was pretty interesting. And this Ravens team is something, someone that Declan Doyle could really make a name himself quickly if things go really well um or not you know we see these things come and go and flop
Starting point is 00:12:04 uh bobby sloic was once crowned you know the next king uh clint kubiak was supposed to be good and then sucked and then ended up being really good like it's you know one of those things that goes back and forth so um interesting to see how this works out to be honest yeah and bobby sloic is back in charge of an offense in the NFL with your Miami Dolphins. So good luck there for Miami, you know, with a defensive minded head coach that, like Jeff Hathley's a guy that no one was like dying to give a head coaching job.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I think he was fine in Green Bay. And, you know, having him be a head coach and then, you know, pretty questionable offensive coordinator, I think is, again, more reasons to be, you know, a little bit bearish on what Miami's status is going to be this year. And then you played under four and a half pretty confidently.
Starting point is 00:12:59 They're so bad. I mean, this is just a, this reminds me of when you remember the Raiders, when they had like Luke Getzzi hired an offensive coordinator and like Gardner Minshew and all that. Like it's just a bad team with bad players and then bad coaches. So it's one of those things of the odds of them being remotely good is just very low in my mind.
Starting point is 00:13:20 You know, it would take an outlier. season from Malik Willis or yeah I don't know that's probably it honestly that's the only way that I really envisioned the path to Miami winning more than six games basically yeah I don't want to equate like college win loss records or anything like that but like Jeff Hathley was coaching Boston college football two years ago um you know as someone who does try to you know keep up a little bit with the BC Eagles it's not been a great you know 20 year run it didn't seem like oh, Jeff Hathley is a future NFL head coach.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Pretty short time as a D.C. Then did to make the jump to an offensive or to a head coach. The Packers' Devens was disappointed relative to the talent we thought, right? I mean, we were entering the year thinking that they could be awesome and they were good, but they were not awesome. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Totally agree. And again, it wasn't like, oh, you know, you got to go get him. Someone else is going to get him. And if not, you've got to get him next cycle. Yeah, just that one surprised me a little bit. You know, AFC West, you got someone basically across the board changing. We touched on some of that a little bit.
Starting point is 00:14:36 I guess with the charges now with, you know, the Magnu Daniel thing, defensive coordinator, Chris O'Leary, kind of a internal promotion, which is nice. There's a little bit of continuity there that could help them. You know, on the Denver side, same thing. Davis Webb kind of an internal promotion at OC. Sean Payton gave him the play calling duties last year, which I thought was pretty interesting.
Starting point is 00:15:00 The more I look at that Denver team, and I look at the depth chart on both sides of the ball, just the entire team from last year for the most part. I know like Jonathan Cooper's dealing with some like off-field stuff, but like this is a spot where we talk about continuity, continuity on the coaching staff, continuity on the field. that if they have Bonix in that AFC championship game probably goes a little bit differently, right?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Maybe they're in the Super Bowl. I think they've probably been the favorites, and I think they were probably beat New England in that game. So, again, hard not to be pretty optimistic about what's going on here in Denver and what Sean Payton can do. Again, assuming Bonix is fully healthy. And, again, you know, the only thing that's really new is an addition of, Jane Laudele, who's, I think, a sizable addition to what they had there.
Starting point is 00:15:49 So I kind of remain pretty bullish on Denver. Put it to the NFC, if you can jump out to you on some of the NFC you want to highlight. A Giants for sure. That's a big one. Obviously, maybe even one of the biggest. You bring in Harbaugh. You bring in Matt Nagy at Office of Coordinator, who is obviously at his ups and downs throughout his time in the NFL. And at one point, it looked pretty good.
Starting point is 00:16:15 You know, for those who remember, the 2018 Bears, I believe, looked great. You know, they ended up making the playoffs. Their offense was good. Guys were running open. And from there, it was just a complete disaster afterwards. So that's a bit disappointing. But you could sell yourself on some upside. Maybe you learned something in his time in Kansas City again, change some things.
Starting point is 00:16:36 That's all possible there. And then DC, Denard Wilson, I don't know, any thoughts on him specifically? It's probably going to just be a Harbaugh-led defense, right? I would assume. I think they're probably pretty aggressive. They have the dogs that they want to be pretty blitz heavy. Like they don't have a great secondary, but they have like a bunch of bodies that I think are fine putting together like a starting crew.
Starting point is 00:16:59 So defensively they could be interesting. They could be a little bit feisty if some of these guys emerge. Like I expect a big, big year from Abdul Carter. Some of the underlying metrics for Carter last year were significant and like way better than you're just like, oh, he only had four sacks. it wasn't great. Like, if you kind of look at all the other stuff, just pressure rate, pass rush, win rate, you know, quarterback hits.
Starting point is 00:17:22 A lot of the things that actually translate to sacks overtime are significantly more predictive than previous year's sacks. I feel like Abdul Carter is in for, you know, a pretty good year. Brian Burns was awesome last year. You add, you know, Tramount Edmonds and Arvel Reese at linebacker. Their linebacker crew was abysmal last year. They were poor tacklers. They were bad in coverage.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Significantly better this year with. you know, two significant upgrades athletically. So, yeah, the Giants defensively could be interesting. Again, I'm not sure it's a playoff team or anything like that, but I think that there's some pieces here that can make them feisty. And we've talked about how I was worried about Bleak neighbors missing part of the season. That would leave their receiving court in a really, really bad spot with Darius Slayton and Darnel Mooney and Isaiah likely being the top pass catchers, which is just not enough to run an offense.
Starting point is 00:18:10 But now looks like neighbors might be back sooner. It might avoid the pup to start the season. means he's probably maybe playing week two or three and then 100% hopefully by or at least 90% by in a week's four or five. I think that brings a new lens to this offense because the team can be good with the right coaching and they have some pieces that matter. I just worry that if you don't have Malik neighbors and the offensive line isn't as good as it should be and the coaching can only go so far when you just have no way to move the
Starting point is 00:18:40 ball offensively, especially if you don't have a super talented offensively. coordinator. I think they'd just run the ball, honestly, a bunch, especially to start the season. It's going to be just 25 Camp Scadaoo carries and probably a lot of ugly defense and close, low scoring games, I would guess. Yeah. Good. Could be, I mean, just in general, when you see all these turnovers, I did have a note on this. I should have shared at the top. Yeah, so 2022, there were 15 offensive coordinator slash play caller changes. which is kind of in line with what we have this year. And again, like, these kind of trend things are a little bit noisy.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I'd want to dig into it a little bit, but this will peak your interest a little bit. Unders early in the season came in heavily on games, 56 and 37, early in the season. So first month, first five, six weeks in 2022, when we had a similar rate of offensive play caller changes. So just, you know, continuity, figuring, things out.
Starting point is 00:19:45 It could be a little bit slow. And again, you kind of match that and mirror that with some turnover on the personnel side. I personally, like, if I wanted to do a little bit of research on that, I would want it to match with like a decent amount of turnover somewhere on the, on the starting group along with the coaching change. That probably is some signal to kind of take into. You think of like Cleveland, new system all around, questions at quarterback.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And then you have like maybe five new offensive line starters, two or three starters at, you know, wide receiver. It's just a lot of new bodies there in Cleveland in terms of trying to implement a new system, new guys up front protecting who knows who at quarterback, two quarterbacks that love to take sacks. So a lot of like flashing undersigns on Cleveland early in the season. There could be some more work to be done there. I like that.
Starting point is 00:20:34 That's a good call out. I like how you paired that up and definitely makes sense from a turnover standpoint. And if you think about, too, when players really take off in new systems, it's usually year two or three. And like, you know, they need a year under their belt, figure out the system, and then they get better the year after, and sometimes dramatically better with a full off season after a full, you know, season under their belt. Sometimes it's just not enough time in camp to really get everything down from the plays,
Starting point is 00:21:00 you know, the cadences and getting the ball out on time where you're supposed to be. And it's just a lot to learn right away. So, yeah, I definitely make sense that that could slow some teams early on in the season. Yeah. Remember we'd always see that historically with tight ends. It was always like you never get anything out of a first year tight end. Unfortunately those guys are asked to do two things really more so than other positions. Like those guys both have in line blocking responsibilities and, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:25 we're definitely in their running routes and all that different stuff. So typically we'd see a little bit of a learning curve there. But like you're talking about systematic learning curves layered on top of the whole thing. There's a lot of pieces. And maybe that plays itself out faster than year two. But like maybe first month, you know, you could sell me on on some spots. maybe we need to be looking at that and make a note and circle back there. On the NFC side, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:49 Jonathan Gannon is now your defensive coordinator in Green Bay replacing, you know, we just talked about with Jeff Hathley. And another situation where maybe this is not a great head coach, but had some success as a D.C. in Philly, maybe can have some success when just kind of pointing in on, again, a talented defense we thought maybe underachieve last year if they're going to get Micah Parsons back healthy, if some of the young guys that they've dropped,
Starting point is 00:22:12 they spent so much day one, day two resources on the defensive side in like the last five to 10 years. There's a lot of talent, a lot of first round picks on that defense. You know, maybe Jonathan Gagnon can get something out of them in a bounce back spot a little bit. So that's kind of one of the notable coordinator changes that I have in the NFC. What else you want to look at? I think those are the main ones. NFC. I guess Cardinals are worth mentioning too.
Starting point is 00:22:39 LaFleur really interesting to see how this works out. It's always one of the, it's kind of when we talk with Declan Doyle is how much is LaFleur versus how much was someone else, you know, what is he going to look like when he's on his own? And he's not even, you know, an OC or he's obviously a head coach, which is, I think, a pretty big jump, right? You're going from an OC where you're not really the OC. I mean, you're an OC by name, but you're not really doing the play calling to, you know, ending up calling here. So, I don't know, I'm interested to see how this goes. and then Nathaniel Hackett, Stone Cold Donkey. Hopefully he has no influence,
Starting point is 00:23:14 but that wouldn't be surprising either. The Cardinals, too, last year were basically just like garbage time fiends, right? Like they would get down two to three scores, and then Jacoby Preset would chuck it 55 times a game until Michael Wilson or Trey McBride, and sometimes both had 100 yards in a touchdown, basically. It was truly ridiculous. Every week, yeah, without fail, didn't matter who they were playing.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Anyone with a pulse, they'd get down and just start chucking it. So is that going to happen again? That's the thing is some some teams don't let that happen. They just run the ball and go home. You know, they'll run it three or four, two times, throw it on third down. Whereas like last year, they said, okay, we're just going to keep throwing it. And it worked out.
Starting point is 00:23:53 I worry that that's a problem, to be honest. Yeah, it seems, I mean, it was really, it was impossible to like, I didn't know how to attack it in the pro market. It was just like, this is so unsustainable every single week. And it was impossible to project moving forward because the sample is so small. and is Michael Wilson a guy or is this just kind of like small sample variance no one else is there it was it was kind of a it was kind of a wild situation but yeah definitely can't expect that to be run back as cleanly because we do have new people in charts the hacking thing is so fascinating because
Starting point is 00:24:23 you think about how stingy rogers is with who gets his time and attention and he like went to bat for nathaniel hackett a couple times and like wanted him involved in what he's doing and it's like I don't know. Maybe it's just a guy that like from a, I don't know, Monday through Saturday standpoint is good and understands what he's doing and can like help game plan. But like when it comes to execution on Sunday in that little three hour window, it's not his thing. And like, you know, it's good at like breaking down tape and like trying to scheme out the edges that they have. But in terms of executing on Sunday, it might not be for everyone. It's just these guys that continue to get jobs.
Starting point is 00:25:04 you know back to silver's old cocoon you know a decade ago like there's definitely some of that in here but guys keep getting jobs it's crazy this is this is also the guy that sean peyton ripped on remember after he took over his head coach of the broncos he's like yeah we're taking everything that he taught and throwing it in the trash like i have no idea what that guy was doing um sean payton's an asshole but uh there's definitely some truth to it because it was hot garbage it was really bad and it wasn't a good luck from Peyton, but again, like, it was embarrassingly bad.
Starting point is 00:25:37 So I'm interested to see what this looks like, I guess. I genuinely think that there is more downside of this Cardinals offense than what is being talked about because of the coaching changes, to be honest, even though they have the talent and Marvin Erison Jr. put on some weight. I guess if that's good or not, I don't know, but it looks good. So I think there's some downside of this offense, to be honest, even with Jeremiah Love addition, too. I agree.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Yeah. The other head coaching changed. Kevin Stefansky in Atlanta brings Tommy Reese with him to be the OC, but it's DeFansky's offense for the most part. I believe we'll see any thoughts on. Stafansky, again, it's so fascinating. Multiple coach of the year winner than, you know, can the year later. It's just tough out there in the coaching streets.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I think Stavansky is a pretty good head coach. I think he was dealt kind of a bad hand with the Deshaun Watson stuff. And it said no talent and wide out for the most time of his career. most of the time. So I think that he's, I don't know if he's an awesome head coach, but I think he's pretty good, one of the better hires here.
Starting point is 00:26:39 And then Tommy Reese will see, again, how much of an impact does he actually have. So, yeah, I think it's kind of a wait-and-see thing. They're pretty thin and wide out, as we've talked about a couple times,
Starting point is 00:26:49 with just Drake London, and then at tight-end Kyle Pitts, but, you know, alongside Bijan that can make a sizable, impacted offense if either Tua or Panix pans out. But it looks like Panic. is not going to be ready for camp, or at least that was the early rumor.
Starting point is 00:27:06 So we'll see what that looks like. And, you know, your Super Bowl champs have a new OC, Brian Flurry, coming over from the Shanahan tree. We'll see. It's like another year, another new coordinator for Sam Darnold.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Again, I think being attached to Kyle Shanahan, I think makes us naturally optimistic that this guy knows what he's doing a little bit. Interesting to see, you know, some movement within the, the division there, you know, leaving San Francisco and going to Seattle there. But I wouldn't expect much to be different. I think they wanted to run the football a lot last year anyway.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And they did. I think you kind of see more of the same. So I don't think it's going to be a big thing, anything to touch on there. No, not too much that. I think you nailed it there. And Sam Donald, I don't know, I played really well last year. But there's obviously still plenty of downside if things aren't going well. Yeah, I was dying to give the ball to the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:28:01 it's in the first half of that Super Bowl. It's crazy. They just couldn't get one. I mean, they weren't going to win anyways, but still it was crazy. No, but they had a chance to make it at least
Starting point is 00:28:10 a little bit more competitive than it was if they would have got one early. So, yeah. Yeah, check it out. If you want to see more information there, again, at every to 444.com, look for the coaching changes hub. You'll be able to find that and kind of click through it,
