All right, Derek, man.

I got to admit, I'm supposed to be impartial in the press box, but I saw you fall off a sack. And, man, I kind of cried out. I was like, damn, man, he's so close. How did you feel about your first game back? No, I felt good. You know, the main thing is just making sure my body's ready to go, making sure I was healthy. But, yeah, I mean, you're right.

I thought I was a little bit further away on that sack, but I didn't need to die.

I just run through, run through and, you know, make sure I wrap them around the waist and take them down. But first game felt good, you know, made a few plays out there and just continued. do I got to do to help this team get to us, you know, what we're trying to get?

So you guys are kind of going through this process of going from Hunter to being hunted.

What's it like to kind of be in the middle of this? As you guys are still building halfway through the season. Man, I think it's huge being able to make the adjustments, you know, when we're going out, I'll be able to play at dumb as we are. I mean, you know, offensive study too, so they're doing things to try to attack our weaknesses

and different things like that. So I think it's good for us as a defense unit to be able to try to hone in on the details and other things we have to do to go out and be successful and continue to put our best for it every single week. So you saw what the offense did in this game, and now they just add a guy like Rashid Shaheed to the mix. as a defender, what do you think about what's going on on outside the ball?

It's amazing. I mean, we've got a guy like Jesse who was always open. Then, you know, we had opportunity to pray Rashid, you know, week three, the regular season this year. And, you know, to be able to have him come in. It's only going to help us. Sam's playing lights out. You know, the backs are running, the offensive lines is just commanding, you know, the line of scrimm in, it's only going to help us. Sam's playing lights out.

You know, the backs are running, the offensive lines is just commanding.

You know, the line of scrimmings, I mean, it's great, especially. And, you know, it's something they're going to continue to do. All right. So no longer Kyler Murray time in Arizona, it's Jacobi Brissette. pretty big difference and there's a guy that can be standing kind of in the middle of that pocket.

Is this a week? Does it happen this week?

Yeah, I say it every week but i'm i'm hoping it does man but you know they're gonna come you can't chase it when you start chasing when you don't get it um but yeah that that one last week definitely hurt but i'm i'm definitely hoping to get home baby to get a few this week this week. So I'm looking forward to it. Appreciate you.

Yes, sir.

Thank you. Take care.

All right, Connor O'Toole, getting some extra playing time the last few weeks. How's adjustment to NFL life treating you? It's been awesome. You know, just one week at a time, learning, trying to soak it all in and just get better every week. So when that big Brandon Peely guy goes down there and knocks out the football,

your eyes must have been biggest saucers, yeah?

Yeah. and just get better every week. So when that big Brandon Peely guy goes down there and knocks out the football,

your eyes must have been biggest saucers, yeah?

Yeah, it was crazy. I'm watching him punching out. I don't even see the ball come out at first and then turned around and, you know, it was laying right there, just hopped on it. But, man, he made a hell of a play. Well, you know, you obviously made a name for yourself as a pass rusher in college, and that's one of the reasons you're here.

But you've got my attention on special teams now back-to-back weeks. you know, you obviously made a name for yourself as a pass rusher in college, and that's one of the

reasons you're here, but you've got my attention on special teams now back-to-back weeks. It wasn't just the fumble car review. The week before, I saw you, you know, knock a guy on his back on a punt rush. Do you remember that play? Yeah, I do. Yeah, just trying to get in there and just trying to add value in any way I can, special teams defense, whatever it is, whatever they need me to do.

So it's quite a room you've got there. What are you picking up from the guys in that room? Who stood out to you and why? Yeah, it's awesome. I mean, we got so many guys that do so many different things. Guys that you can learn from D Laws helped me a lot, D. Hall, Boye, Chen.
