 So we're talking to Dean and kind of just getting his evaluation of the evolution of this defense and I would love your opinion too on kind of how you've seen this defensive evolve from maybe what y'all thought you would be in training Sam to kind of what you are now. I feel like, you know, we got better every week, you know, putting ourselves in a position to have some success and making some big plays and nice turnovers and which is good and, you know, it's just been a learning process, you know, for everybody, whether it's the players, coaches, you know, been learning about us, us learning the scheme more week in and week out, making necessary adjustments. So I mean, it's been a progress, you know, so I don't know if I could like answer it like as far as like from what I would think evolution wise from beginning to now because I mean, when it be in the first year, you don't really know. You kind of trying to establish an identity type thing and but, you know, it's been good to have some growth. Do you feel as though kind of coming, you know, 2021 being in first year of the system and you look ahead to maybe 2022 and feeling more confident and comfortable in this game? Do you feel like that will maybe, I don't know, change the mentality of this defense a little bit to kind of feel more comfortable in what Dean has installed in this year? You know, my focus right now just controlling with, you know, with guarantee, you know what I'm saying, in front of me, you know what I'm saying, and that's just getting ready for this game on Sunday, you know, with the Saints, you know, they'll know how everything will shake out. So I mean, it's like, you know, I'm sure when the more somebody's in the system, the better stuff get, you know, with players, new players, however, may go, but I'm just not in a position to really speak on 2022. With this game coming up, seeing Taysom Hill again, what does that kind of add to y'all's play that you maybe didn't have the last time you saw these happen? Yeah, so I mean, you know, dynamic player with him being the full time quarterback now, you know, it's definitely just because he lined up at quarterback. That don't mean that every time he's going to run like say like, hey, they wildcat guy a week and somebody else playing quarterback kind of, you know, have a kind of idea what's going on, but with him being in for every snap just got to be ready for everything, you know. He putting a ball on the money for him, you know, some plays and still, you know, got the same plays for him to run the ball. So definitely, definitely a dynamic player and highly competitive guy and, you know, got it ready to go. And then for you personally, you've probably been asked this before, but I would love to hear it from you. But I was watching when you were mic'd up against the Lions and there's this one moment where you were tripling and you're like, damn, you'll have got to block anybody else. From your perspective, I mean, what does that kind of make you feel when you have offensive lines in the league of being a guy who honestly has to be double team, sometimes triple team? What does that kind of feel for you at this point in your career? You know, it's expected, you know what I'm saying? You know, my reaction on the video was, I mean, I was mic'd up, but I mean, I would say stuff like that all the time. It's really just talking trash, you know, with the other guys, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's expected stuff, you know what I'm saying? There's nothing like I'm complaining about it and I know it's, you know what I'm saying? So I was like, it's kind of said that just not even, not knowing what I'm saying, but whatever. But without a doubt, I mean, it's things that, you know, be expected and you just got to, you know, adjust for how it comes, you know what I'm saying? And that's what you want, you know what I'm saying? You want to be a guy that a team got to account for, you know what I'm saying? And demand, you know, that kind of attention, respect, whatever it may be. And it's just up to me to be able to handle it, you know what I'm saying? And get through whether it's in a run game, pass game, you know, hold it down and do what I got to do. And, you know, it's, you know, it's what you work for, you know? When you want to, you know, to whom, you know, much is given, much is required, you know what I'm saying? So, I mean, it's not a secret, it's not a secret or something that, you know, come with the job of being, you know, being myself. I think it's interesting because like when it comes to the idea of respect, I know when we were talking to AJ at some point in time during the season, he was talking about, well, like, if you're a corner, if your stats aren't where they're supposed to be, but guys are choosing not to throw you away, that in and of itself is a sign of respect. It's something that, you know, it's almost better than guys throwing your way all the time and you having incredible numbers. Do you kind of feel it's just that same idea kind of translates to you, that if you have guys who you're being pulled, like pop and deployment are being pulled your way, protections are being shifted your way. But that's just as much a good sign of what you're doing as any number. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, you know, and like I say, like, you know, from the outside looking in, you know, as a, as a, whether it's like a, you know, a fan, a casual fan, you know what I'm saying, you look at numbers. I don't think about as numbers, you know what I'm saying, but, you know, for people who, you know, you know, watch the tape or, you know, and understand, you know, what's going on in the game, you know, they, people understand, you know, and at the end of the day, as an individual, you know, trying to be my best and do my best, I just want to produce no matter what, you know, and, and then I just got to, you know, realize that even if I am, you know, taking double team, triple team, whatever it may be, I'm still affecting the game, you know, and so, so, I mean, it's just been, it's been one of those years, but I mean, it is, that's what I, like I said earlier, I will come with it, you know what I'm saying, that's why I train the way I do, get my body to take on what it may take on, because I know I'm going to have to deal with, you know, more than an average person. So, I mean, I'm, you know, I'm feeling, feeling good here going week 18 now, you know, and I'm excited to finish strong against the Saints and, you know, control what I can, that's the head. Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to pick on the, the culture, you know, foundation you all to try to establish this first year. You know, you got a game left, but how important is that being the way you feel it, that is. You know, definitely, we just want to finish strong, you know, against, against the Saints. Disappointed we didn't make it to the postseason, but at the end of the day, you know, we still got some football to play, and group, group full of competitive guys that want to do good. And, you know, once the season over, you look back and evaluate and see some of the things, you know, because we wanted to get done, got done, and not with things to build on. And so, I mean, it's been an ever, it's been an ever evolving thing, you know what I'm saying. So, just being in it, you know, it's been so focused on just week by week trying to get a win, get better. So, as far as looking at the big picture of things, it's going to take a little time to decompress and look back on it, but, you know, while you're in it, right now, I'm just, you know, focusing on the Saints. Cool. Yep. Thank you.
