I thought his rookie year was his most amazing year. For him to master two positions, grow with the speed of the league and to do it from both inside and outside positions and have success was nothing short of amazing. The second year he took the normal progression from year one to year two. That's when the greatest growth occurs, especially for linemen, and he took off.

Pat's impact is that you can't just double Kevin anymore and single-block the other guy. Pat gives us some swagger against the run. He's determined that no one will run the ball on us because of him. Guys buy into that and start having high expectations for themselves, and I think that helps the whole defense.

I always talk about that big jump guys make between their first and second year, and Kenechi is right where he's supposed to be. In the second year, you understand what you are. A lot of guys have to refine themselves from college. I say the same things, and they say, 'Bake, why didn't you tell me that last year' Now, they have a revelation.

I thought last game certainly was his best performance, especially in terms of pass rush. I think he's still learning the league, obviously. Heck, I'll be saying that until midseason probably, maybe even the end of the season. But I think his conditioning is getting a little better he's getting in a little more football shape.
