00:00 >> What stands out to you about this Falcons team?
00:04 Are they similar to what you saw earlier this season?
00:07 Or I mean, both teams have changed quite a bit, do you think?
00:09 >> I feel like they're very much similar to when the last time we faced them.
00:13 They still got skilled position players everywhere.
00:16 So we gotta make sure we do our best to contain all those guys cuz they come out
00:19 and try to attack in different personnels and things like that.
00:21 >> B-John only had, I think, one play against you guys.
00:23 I don't know.
00:24 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:25 >> But do they run the same system with him in there?
00:29 So you're prepared for the system?
00:31 Or you're preparing for the player?
00:33 >> For the system.
00:34 For the system.
00:34 For the most part, they run the same thing.
00:36 They just switch different people in and out.
00:37 >> How good is he?
00:38 >> He's good.
00:40 Yeah, I've seen him with the ball in his hands.
00:41 He's good at making people miss in open space.
00:43 So we got our work cut out.
00:45 >> What did you learn in that last Falcons game that maybe you could use this week?
00:49 >> Yeah, that we just gotta capitalize on different situations.
00:51 That game kinda came down to our last series.
00:55 And we just gotta make sure we finish and not put ourselves in that situation again.
00:59 >> Can you describe the importance of Sunday's game for you guys?
01:03 >> Yeah, super important.
01:04 If we win this one, we're first place in the division.
01:07 And so this is like a playoff game for us.
01:09 >> And then, Antoine, when you're facing a team for the second time,
01:14 is it helpful?
01:15 Is it more helpful or maybe does it boomerang on you a little bit when you
01:18 know more about them and they know more about you?
01:21 >> Yeah, I think it helps.
01:23 Cuz I mean, they're still gonna run their system.
01:25 It's just a matter of what plays come at you at a time.
01:29 They're obviously gonna come out and show us different looks and
01:31 things like that.
01:31 But once everything gets settled in, it's pretty much the same system.
01:35 >> And then also the last two days for you, first off, the Walter Payton Award and
01:39 then being named Defensive Player of the Week.
01:41 Just for both of those awards, what do they mean to you?
01:44 >> They mean a lot.
01:45 I put a lot of work in, and so it's just paying off.
01:49 Yeah, so for the Defensive Player of the Week, that was awesome.
01:53 But then the Walter Payton is even better.
01:56 So being able to give back to the community and have that out there,
02:00 that's been amazing.
