Can you talk about playing your former team?“A little bit different last year than this year, obviously a lot of emotions, kind of fresh, obviously (enjoyed) my time there. But a little less about that now, I’m more concerned about what we got going on in this building. Seeing them on tape, they're starting to find I think their formula a lot. (They’re a) really good team coming off a big win. Like I said, they're hot right now. So for us we’re going to have our hands full just getting ready for the good personal, they’re getting Miles Sanders back and a couple other guys. It is going to be a good game.”How dangerous is Deonte Harris as a receiver?“I think his explosiveness is really the main reason we have him here. Every time he touches the ball, he's got opportunity to break something open. Just his ability to change direction, the speed, you get him out in open space, he's hard to get down.”Is his stop and go ability rare in this league?“I think there aren’t many especially for his size. I think through my career, you look at other people, I think like a Darren Sproles, somebody who had that build and that ability to stop and accelerate to change direction. And who's a smaller body actually makes it harder to be able to get a piece of him. Obviously, he makes a lot of plays for us.”Why is it so hard when you have to game plan for a running quarterback?“Whenever your quarterback runs the ball, you now have to use all 11 defenders in order to stop it, it is just simple math, right? Usually the quarterback is not part of the run game. So you're always playing defense with 11 on 10. But all of a sudden, the quarterback’s running now you have to account for him and it’s 11 on 11, which changes coverage. So you got to decide do you want to play single high, split safety? Do you want to go zero across the board? Where you’re better in the run, but you’re more vulnerable against the pass, he's not somebody who can't throw the ball. So it just creates a unique dynamic to add that third element of quarterback runs to their menu. But we've played against quarterbacks that can scramble, we watched the film tape last year and it hurt us. The quarterback scrambled when we played them last year, so it's going to be a huge emphasis, not going to be able to stop them from doing, it's a big part of their game plan. But we got to be able to mitigate the big plays.”Why are the Saints so good at run defense consistently even though you guys change personnel?“That’s all up to the front. You watch us on tape, we don't play a ton of down safety defense, a lot of it is split safety and so when you're playing and when you're as good against the run as we are, with a light box. That's pretty unusual so you got to give that up to the way that our front plays. The way our linebackers play, because it's really about them.”What are your early impressions of DeVonta Smith?“I mean he's one of those guys that I think he's just competitive. That's the biggest thing that I see off the tape immediately is just, you know, smaller guy, shifty, but crafty route runner, catches the ball in traffic and contested catches. And I think he's the spark in that offense. They seem to rally around him and get going when he's making a couple plays. So he's just one of those guys, he's their big play guy we have to take him out or at least minimize the big plays that he has on Sunday.”Tell us what you're doing with the NFT and how you got involved?“Oh, yeah, launched my NFT's today. My collection is called “A Minted Legacy” really been working on it for a while now. Probably since back in like February, March. Put a lot of thought into (it), I wanted to get into the NFT space, the block chain technology. But I didn’t want to just slap my name on something and throw it out there. I really wanted it to be intentional about bringing in art and pieces of myself that fans don't all the time, you know, get access. So it's some of my favorite moments from my time in Philadelphia. A lot of personal kind of photography and movement and moments that I thought, you know, were part of kind of my legacy there. Be in those moments right before a game during the national anthem, like what's going on in my mind? What is going on? What are the things that motivate me? A couple plays from the Super Npw; and then just a card that really just cements the fact that we were able to bring Philadelphia its first championship, you know, so it was really the first collection of probably many that I'll put out. But it is (live) right now, it’s live on crypto.com for auction. So yeah, hopefully people rock with it.”How worried are you getting beat over the top when facing a running quarterback?“I think for deep defenders like myself or Marcus (Williams) you cannot allow a ten-yard run by the quarterback to all of a sudden get you to creep up or get impatient on the back end. Because then they do take shots down the field, and they time up well, it is run, run, run, run, run and then as soon as you start to creep up, big time shot down the field. So that's just going to come down to myself, to Marcus having the patience to just deal with a run here or there as long as we get him down it's not a problem. But not sacrificing the coverage end of it because we feel good about our ability to get off the field if a team has to dink and dunk and run all the way, you know, 80 yards, but the fastest way they can get (there) is obviously a big play. So we'll bet on our ability to execute over the long run of a drive and keep the ball in front of us.”Do you feel like the last two weeks have been uncharacteristic of you guys?“No, I think to your point, when you look at the tape, and you say, ah, we actually played those games, how we needed to play them, one or two plays didn't go our way, and we didn't get the result that we want. We're not being out of character, we actually played those games exactly how we needed to play them and didn't make one or two plays. So it was just really about emphasizing that that's the difference between winning and losing for our team. It’s just those one or two plays of executing, and if that's the difference, then we're this close to being where we want to be. And I think that's the message, trusting the process, trusting where we are, obviously, making all of the plays that we can make. But we're playing good teams and it’s a competitive league, they're going to make plays, we're going to make plays. It's just about being in a game, winning the situations when it comes down to it. I think we feel probably more upset and some of the mistakes that we made, as opposed to some of the plays that they made. So we eliminate our own mental mistakes, then we're right where we want to be.”Would you say this is one of the tougher venues to play at?“I think so, especially when the team’s rolling, you let them hang around they get into it, the crowd’s into it, It's a tough place to win and that’s a team that loves the fight, they love being doubted and are (a) scrappy group. (They) can run the ball, control the game. Like I said, once the crowd gets into it, it's a hard place to shift momentum.”
