All right, so I'm joined by a guy I've known a long time, and a guy I think has done a great job in Houston with the Texans, a big part of the puzzle there.

I think they got one of the best rosters in the NFL, certainly on defense.

Nick Kisera joins the podcast. Nick, how you doing?

Thanks, Chris. Doing great. Thanks for having me. Great to see you, man.

It's great to see you.

And it is a joy watching your team, especially, as I mentioned, defense, being defensive guy, I think best defense in the league.

And I know you're not here to make declarations or rank your unit. But it's got to be fun seeing them fly around, you know,

late in the season. I feel like they've really hit their stride and the offense as well.

I don't know where to start. I guess, I guess for me, we were just talking offline about the

0-and-3 start. What do you, what's your duty as a guy who's seen it all in that chapter of the season?

Yeah, the big thing is just to kind of stay right down the middle. Don't get too high. Don't get too

low. Understanding that kind of each week is its own entity and we can't really change the outcome,

but we can control what we do moving forward. And, you know, there was just some little things whether, and a big thing I would say was turning the ball over. So those are things, the things that you can actually control, D'Amico talks to the team about this a lot, let's focus on the things that we can control. And those three games, they kind of came down to, let's say, you know, one play here or there.

And in a Jacksonville game, anytime you turn a ball over three times in one game, the chances of

winning are very low. So if you could just get some things fixed and get kind of back on track,

and then each week, just making sure that you take care of the things that are important,

I think that the most important thing for my lens is to make sure D'Amico and I are communicating, hey, if there's something we need to do personnel-wise, great. If not, let's just kind of take it one day at a time and focus on the things that we can control. And I think, you know, our personalities are such that try not to get too high, trying not to get too low, understanding that emotion,

you can have emotion, you just can't get emotional.

And I think that's where we try to keep the focus.

One thing I love about y'all is you play up to the best teams in the league.

You play like you are one of them, which I think you are.

And then also you guys have dominated in division.
