    I’m not sure if y’all will agree, but I think if we’re going to have a team of high skill, smaller guys, we need X in the lineup to protect them. After watching last night’s game, which was very physical and chippy, I think it was crucial to have X out there laying big hits and reminding people not to take liberties with our smol boys.
