So first of all, man, happy New Year too.

Same to you, man.

How did you spend it?

Yeah, me and my girl, we went to see the, I guess, the fireworks yesterday when it hit 12.

We were downtown, so it was nice, man.

I loved everything about it.

Do you have any family traditions growing up from New Year's?

No, not New Year's.

No, not New Year's, we don't.

Do you have any personal goals or a specific resolution going into this year?

Yeah, I just say the same thing that I always say, you know, making sure I maintain

every day, make sure I just, you know, do the right things at the right time, be there when

I'm needed, you know, be accountable, you know, just the little thing that make me a better

person on and off the field.

How eager are you for this week, but how do you also balance that excitement with staying present and calm in the moment?

Yeah, I'm really excited for this weekend, man.

I get a chance to go out there and show my ability with the guys around me.

So I'm really excited for it. I'm taking everything

in for right now, making sure I stay level-headed, make sure I get in my playbook and things like

that, making sure I get the end and outs. Knowing that you have a role this week, has your weekly

preparation changed at all? No, no, sir. It haven't changed. I was, I'm always going to prepare like I'm a start

so it was the same preparation. Or in terms of like your scheduling or meetings or anything like that? No, I wouldn't say that. I come in and meet at 7.30 all the time, so it's nothing new. Well, I remember you saying that you and Roy, Roy Anderson, come in at like 6 or 630. Have you still been doing that?
