 Not yet, but I feel really, really close, so I think that's good. And being able to go out there in the game, no one that I could play football in the game, I felt like helped me a lot mentally. There's probably still a couple little things we got to get through, but other than that, pretty close. Did you campaign today or was that part of the plan? Oh, that was part of the plan. That was always part of the plan, yeah. Obviously, we were going to wait and see how practices went with the Jags this week. You know, nothing happened or anything like that. Then, yeah, that was part of the plan to get in this game. And you're perfectly wrong. The braces, they're warm? They're warm. No more, not at all. Done. No practice, no games with the braces. What was that like that time? Was that first day with the braces? And then we talked about it last time you were here? Yeah, yeah. What was that like now that you actually had it? I felt good. Yeah, it just gives you more range of motion, obviously. And then it's, you know, not like weighing you down. So that was kind of the biggest thing. But in terms of, I mean, it still felt the same out there. You know, new use is just as stable and stuff like that. So I'm glad I'm able to not have it. So a lot of cuts are coming in the next couple of days. What do you guys as the veteran core guys coming back feel about this team that you've come out of preseason hit on this season? Yeah, I would say we feel really good. I feel like, I mean, just in comparison to last year, we just have a lot more depth across the board, really at all positions. So I think that was kind of a big game for us, to be able to play fast or play physical and stuff like that. So I feel really good going into the season. Yeah, you're right. The whole defense line, the whole defense in general, we did a good job, came out playing fast, trying to stop the run, especially in the first half. And we all had a good day, man. It seemed like you guys were trying to send a message, maybe on both sides, the running game and the way you guys were able to dominate up front. What kind of message were you trying to send about this team? Well, throughout the whole preseason, I remember when we messaged like, stop the run and give the ball to offense and then have the offense rolling. As a matter of, we go out there, even on that one interception, we went out there, stopped the run, give the ball back to offense, and then they're rolling downhill the whole game. How do you look at this defensive line group now that we're wrapping up the preseason? I got a lot of good guys in the defense line group. It's a lot of good competition, especially coming down to this 53-cup, man. But it's been an amazing playing with these guys. The tenacity, coming from everybody, the leadership coming from Grady, and the guys like Rush. It's been awesome for this whole preseason. You mentioned that cut-down. It's kind of the worst part of the year, right? What are these next 72 hours or so like? It's, you know, as a young player, that's why I try to tell the young players, like, it's mind-boggling. But, you know, you just have to find a place where you can get your mind off of it. I'm going to hang out with my wife and my sister and just kind of get my wife to go out to eat and stuff like that, and then whatever happens happens. How tough is that? I mean, do you find yourself looking at the phone or are you able to just say, I'm out? You know, the first couple years at home in the league, yeah, you're looking at the phone, trying to wonder if they're going to call now. But now, I've been in the league for a long time, so it's like right now I'm just, it is weird as I'm going to let go and let go. And, you know, whatever happens happens. Last question for you. Overall impressions of this defense now that the preseason is under your belt? This defense is amazing. It's, I've been on a lot of good defenses throughout my career, and this one has a special bond. We've been attacking the line of scrimmage. The linebackers are playing downhill, playing amazing. Our back end are covering dudes like crazy. So I'm excited to see what happens during the season. Really, in that game, we were calling your name every few plays. I mean, I love it. Just every time I get the opportunity to go out there and play fast, physical, and just fly around, that's what I love to do. And I'm thankful I'm getting the opportunity to do so every time. So I'm just trying to go out there and get better every time I step on the field. I know it's only some starters for you guys. It's only some starters for them. But what kind of message do you feel like this defense sent early in the game? You were really holding them to very few yards, getting in the backfield. So the main thing that we're going to do is stop the line. That's the one thing we put a big emphasis during the training camp. Stop the line and get the opportunity to go out there and pass the line. So as long as we do that, we stop. If we're able to stop every team, we will get the opportunity to pass the line. So starting with the main thing, stop the line, and have getting the opportunity to pass the line. I'm sure a lot of fans were excited to see so many members of this rookie class making big plays. You saw D'Angelo Malone score a touchdown on special teams. What's it like, you know, the young guys here stepping up at the end of the preseason? It's great, man. We're a unit. We're a whole group class. We came out here together. We're learning every day together. So just seeing each other make plays out there. I mean, I love it. What's the biggest difference in yourself now from when you showed up to Flowery Branch? Gosh, it feels like just weeks ago. That was a while ago. Yeah. So I feel like I can see myself being more comfortable with this game, just being out there, being more physical especially. I think I play the one way better than I did when I first got here. And as each preseason game, I felt like I was getting better in terms of recognizing some of the plays that the offense was doing. They kind of trusted myself more in terms of reading some keys and reacting to what took place. What was the message from Arthur Smith? Because now it gets real. You guys are two weeks away from the first regular season game. Yeah, so the biggest thing was a hell of a way to close the preseason. And now it gets real. So it's just a matter of going back to the drawing board and prepping for New Orleans. And last thing, it had to be fun sharing. Seeing your guy Derek have a huge game out there today. What were you guys saying in the locker room and on the sideline as he was making plays? He actually had a sack and he said he was going to call the line coach. I pissed it because he had a sack today. And now he calling himself the Doctor of Pairs, right? So it was fun. Does he give himself a lot of nicknames? Sometimes. Sometimes.
