And I definitely feel the joy.

I feel the excitement.

I wish I can get out there and play with these guys because they make it look like so much fun out there playing, but they're playing together, man.

That's what I truly believe in.

It's about stopping people.

Everybody gets caught up in the offenses and scoring points and everybody want to see more points scored.

I get it from a fan perspective.

But for me, how do you win games?

You win it by getting critical stops.

And that's what's fun about watching our defense on third down, the way they go out, they perform, get off the field.

It's exciting.

It's exciting to see.

And it's exciting for me just to see it all come together.

I see guys truly play for each other.

Yeah, we do a competitive period where we do a third down compete period every week.

And it's been pretty lopsided for most of the year.

Our defense has been winning a lot of those.

But when CJ came back for the past couple weeks, he's gutted us on a lot of plays.

So it's balancing itself out now.

So it's very competitive when we do those periods.
