 What's DMP's mentality? Man, it meant a lot, man. He expect a lot of us, expect a lot out of us. And he's unwavering. You know, he's unwavering. And it's the commitment that he puts on a daily basis, day in and day out. And just what it means to a man. And it makes us want to go that much harder for him, you know, and it's just a fun plan for him. I could definitely say that. The last two years, how have you seen the evolution of what he's done and maybe some of that other places kind of filter into this? I think just trusting us more, you know, and being a little more exotic with some blisters and stuff like that. I can't speak to certain covers, combinations that they play in the back end, but up front, I mean, we play, everybody up front play multiple positions. Gotta do a lot of the different things. And I think it helps the whole defense as a whole. And so I'm really, really grateful to be able to learn under his leadership and just grow as a player, you know, and just not always being pegged at this one point, at the one point here, one point there, and just being used in different multiple ways and just really challenged myself to be a better player, you know, weekend and week out, day in and day out, and continue to always learn the game of football in different ways that could be ran. Do you feel like the defensive culture is getting better? He said that it was trending in the right direction. Absolutely, without a doubt. And that's something, a standard that he said early in the off season. And he said, you know, he talked about how, Atlanta, as we all know, has been known for being an offensive team for a long time. And he has a passion towards changing that to where when people think about Atlanta Falcons, they think about strong physical defense being played. And that's what we're trending towards. We're definitely trending towards that. And that's not saying anything bad about the offense. That's just us trying to improve on defense, focus on the things that we can control as a defense, getting better weekend and week out. And I think that's what we had definitely have done, especially on this latter part of the season. No matter who the opponent was, we always showed up and just put our best foot forward. And of course, the things we can be better at, but you'll be blind to say that you don't see the improvements. You know, you don't see the way we play, you know, more than just the play calls or just the execution, such as the style. And you know what I'm saying? Like, even if we don't get the job done, you know, you know, somebody tried their best, you know, and that's the encouraging, encouraging part in the standard that they have set as a coaching staff in the leadership group. When you look at, you want wins over losses. Without a doubt. Over the last five, you've allowed 21 or less in five consecutive games. Kind of what's been the cause of that? And is that a sign that maybe you guys are getting better throughout the course of the year? Points are really all in there. Yeah, absolutely. Without that, definitely a sign of us trending in the right direction, you know? Like you say, in this game, you can always get better. You know, it's always room for improvement. I don't think we could do better. But to be able to totally ignore the improvements that you are making, that just won't be right, you know, so you have to take note of where we are getting better. And that's definitely a part of it, not giving up points. Of course, you don't want nobody to get all these yards on. You don't want nobody to get in the red zone. But you know what is the NFL? At the end of the day, if you hold them down, points win games, right? So if you hold them points down, you're giving our offense the best chance we can to go match and get more points, you know? So that's our challenge. No matter how much the offense score, we need to keep the opponent under that. You know what I'm saying? So that don't mean if we score a 50 now, we let them go get 40. But you y'all did what I'm saying. So we just challenged ourself, man, weekend and week out. And I love the way the defensive trend in and loving the way coaches trust in us with opening up the playbook and just letting us just go hunt. You process, and are still processing it, I imagine. Yeah, man, it's definitely a tough situation, man. Had a pleasure knowing DeMarc for a couple years now and traded jerseys with him last year when we went up there to Buffalo. But to see that happen to him, it was just some tragic, you know what I'm saying? And can't do nothing but send support and prayers and stuff like that. But I mean, it was even hard to speak on. It's one of the things where playing this game, we all know it's risky. We all know the risk you take going out there, we say that until you see it, you know? You say that until you see it. And for somebody to have to go through that and live through that as I speak on it right now, it's definitely our opening. But at the same time, I'm hearing up a great news. So sending out some well wishes to him from love and to him and his family and just really, really, and his teammates as well. That's how to be a traumatic event, experiencing something like that for somebody you go to work with day in and day out. I couldn't imagine seeing one of my teammates go through that or player from a coach, you know what I'm saying? Or especially for his family that was there in the stands, how to see him and I'm glad it was able to be with him. But the man, tough, tough situation. And we all just going to keep prayers up for him in hopes that he pulled through to make 100% full recovery. How did you get to know him? It's kind of personal. But we got close family ties, extended family ties through relationships and stuff like that. How do y'all get prepared for Sunday and that? Y'all going to play Tampa? I mean, it's been games where y'all going to playoffs and they're out. And it's a big rumble and it's a little flip this time. But I know it's going to, y'all still take this game serious. Oh, no, without a doubt, man. Without a doubt. Like I've been saying, you know, since unfortunately we was knocked out to playoffs. I mean, every time you get the chance to play football in NFL, it's a privilege, you know? You got to treat it as such. So I mean, the guys, we had a great week of practice. We had fun. We are where we are. And our opportunity is go out there and play on Sunday. So we're ready to go out there and put our best foot forward. You can't really worry about too much how they're going to play it, what they're going to do. So whatever way they want to go, whatever, the game got to be played. And we're going to play hard. We're going to give our all. And we're going to definitely take the pride in the logo that we were on our helmet. And then we were on the back of our jersey. And we're going to go out there and do what we got to do. It feels like it was like 500 years ago. But what happened the last time you guys played? Does that make your mind at all? Specifically you? I mean, you know, it's definitely inevitable of that. I mean, just somebody had been talking about it every week. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, I can't control but was in front of me, you know, the time and then the opportunity I got in front of me. And just keep going, keep working. And you know, and everything else, take care of yourself. How do you? You know, I always want to be able to be better, you know. And you know, there's some plays that you want to hear. You want to back. But at the same time, I'm proud of some of the growth I have made in this defense, you know. Growth that I feel like I made, you know, as a leader, just as a man, just trying to get better every year I play, you know. And that's what I just want to stay the course of that. And just keep answering the call. You know what I'm saying? Be somebody that a team could depend on. And I feel like I fit the bill. But at the same time, I believe, you know, it's some more improvement for me, you know, going forward. And I'm excited to, you know, push myself to that max, whatever that may be, you know. And while you're playing, you know, I'm the type of guy to believe that you never do reach that. You know what I'm saying? You never want to find a day where you always be like, all right, I've figured it out. You know what I'm saying? Because you never figure it out. You're always learning and you're always trying to evolve, always trying to be a better player. But up to this point, you know, I've, you know, I can say with confidence that, you know, I'll give my best every, you know, weekend and week out. And, you know, that, you know, however that look to, you know, whoever, you know what I'm saying? But at the same time, I know there's a lot of improvements, you know, so I'm excited to finish the season strong. That's really what my focus on is just, and then when that, after the last game done, turn around and assess and, but at the end of the day, my job is to do the best I could do, you know. And the best I could do is being one of the top players of my position in the league and consistently on a weekly basis, somebody that always got to be accounted for, make an impact and whichever way that may be, there may be a big statistical game or it might not be, it might not be a big statistical game, but I had impact across the game. You know, however it looked that week, you know what I'm saying, I want to make sure that my number is being accounted for and respected. And I think at the end of the day, if I'm the best me, I could make the people around me better. So I feel like the best football is definitely still out there for me, but my most focus right now is just finishing strong with a game left. And thoughts on the white, green event, then going to the Hall of Fame finalist, he was looking for you. Yeah, without a doubt, man. You know, definitely should be a lot. You know what I'm saying? I'm definitely fortunate to be able to spend time with him and then play him out, team him into the Super Bowl with him and have had some memories and just be able to be in his presence because growing up, he was somebody that I was watching and stuff like that. So when we did become teammates, it was surreal a little bit. I can remember it back. But I mean, don't wish nothing but a good congrats to him. And he should be locked in there, you know what I'm saying? So special guy, a heck of a competitor. And he made a way for us, a shorter defensive lineman, to go out there and just have success. Even though he wasn't in a different style type player, but he represented it for us, you know what I'm saying? So he represented early for us and went out, had a great career, hall of fame career, and I'm fortunate to be able to be his teammate.
