From the episode

When you have Lamar playing the way that he has over the first month, you have to do everything you can to get the most out of those seasons. And in 2024, when he was playing at this level, the defense wasn't very good. And now I think you have you should have enough confidence and optimism about the defense where we got to do everything we can to make sure we're capturing this season when Lamar is playing at this level, because when he is, I think you're capable of pretty much anything.
