S Jevon Holland

(How is it coming off the bye week and also right into Thanksgiving week. There’s obviously other distractions around. How do you guys stay super focused on the game?) – “It’s our job. As professionals, you got to stay on everything regardless of whatever is going on outside. The Thanksgiving meal is obviously going to be a little tough because it’s Thanksgiving. A little bit of the pounds, it makes us a little heavier. But you’ve got to lock in. We get paid to do our jobs so we’re going to go out there and do it regardless of what’s going on.”

(I know you grew up like I did with Canadian Thanksgiving. Do you maintain the traditions down here this week?) – “Nah. I have American parents so it’s really more American traditions. Besides ketchup chips, which I miss, that’s about the only thing Canadian about our Thanksgiving. (laughter)”

(So what’s the plate?) – “I got cornbread. You got to have that. Sweet potatoes, got to have that. Ham, turkey, a little bit of that cranberry. My grandma’s collard greens. Candied yams, which is sweet potatoes if y’all don’t know that. Some of y’all may not know what candied yams are. Yeah, that’s about it. And a little bit of sparkling cider.”

(Do you have a favorite dessert?) – “Sweet potato pie. Absolutely.”

(The defense the last game was very impressive. Is that something to work off of? You’ve had two weeks to look at that tape. The Texans, are you salivating for them right now as much as you are for Thanksgiving dinner?) – “Yeah, I mean we’re ready for the next challenge. This is a good team coming up. They’ve got a hell of a running back. It’s going to be exciting to go from a good back to a good back, back-to-back like that.”

(The statistics weren’t there early on as much as you might have thought they would be for everybody. Do you feel like this defense is completely gelling right now?) – “Do you mean us as a defense?”

(Yeah.) – “Yeah, for sure. Things are going well. We’re going to try to continue that cycle of success, for sure.”
