David Bailey

But, like, part of...

Like, David Bailey.

See him in the preseason? You're like, holy shit.

I see clips of Caleb Downs at practice, like, picking off Dak left and right.

I mean, they allowed 56 sacks last season too.

So David Bailey and the New York Jets are going to get an opportunity to put some fantasy production together on the sack exchange.

And, of course, we have the Philadelphia Eagles.

Now, a lot has been made in this offseason about how poor the commander's offensive line is following the loss of Laramie Tunsil.

You have that.

And you got David Bailey coming, too.

So, you know, that's going to be a good matchup for both of those guys.

But Dan Moore has been solid, man.

Go watch his tape at Texas Tech last year, bro.

People talked about David Bailey like he was the second coming.

It was Skylar Gil Howard first that he got hurt.

I hope that's the case because it would answer one of my biggest questions for Detroit.

Minka Fitzpatrick is going to matter when it comes to leadership on that defense.

I like what we've seen from David Bailey with the flashes.

Harrison Phillips is a steady veteran up front.

I think this defense is going to be really, really good.

You know, the perimeter blocking is going to be really important to keep those guys out of the backfield and, you know, be able to get some positive yards when you go to that.

Um, and then the, the big thing that I'll be excited to see is, you know, just from like a football fan perspective is what does David Bailey look like? Um, you know, I think JC Latham, that'll be a really interesting matchup, uh, depending on what side he lines up on.

Um, obviously you've got Will McDonald, who's kind of a known quantity.

They don't have a ton of juice off the edge.

What's interesting is Robert Sala talked about a few of these things at his Wednesday press conference.

He mentioned that the receivers – he was asked about receivers getting off press coverage, that they have to win their one-on-one battles in press coverage, in particular this weekend, as you mentioned.

He talked pretty glowingly about David Bailey, that, hey, man, looks like he's going to be a really good player.

Obviously, the Titans were very high on him in the draft process, and so we'll see about the matchup.

I mean, his twin brother actually ended up coaching me at BU.

So it's creating, like, Ace Bailey was on the plane.

It's just everyone, like...

Or the stories about, I was going to go into work today, but for whatever reason, I just decided I was sick or whatever.

Whether that's six wins or seven wins, you know, I think we'll know it when we see it.

And it's not so much the win total.

It's how are they playing? How are these young guys like Bailey and Sadiq and Cooper, how are they developing? Is this coaching staff capable of player development? Because they have so much invested in these young guys and they got, oh, by the way, we all know they got a big haul coming in next year's draft.

So player development is a very important question.

I think the phrase must win is a little bit silly, especially in week one.

Rich, last one for me.

So you mentioned the defense and the improvements up the middle.

David Bailey, we're all excited.

He's a rookie, though, right? I mean, so who knows exactly what that looks like? He had a good camp.
