Having lived through decades of defense-first-win-it-on-set-pieces play, this felt joyous.

For the first time ever they have a ruthless finisher at the 9 too. Trying to work through my cognitive dissonance…

McBride was the closest - more of a poacher though. Dempsey played out of position up top because nobody else could and he was pretty good at it. Enjoying the fact that we have two solid true 9s now. An embarrassment of riches!
