So it was tough sometimes, but like I said, I had to come forward and do what I had to do. I have to play with my best and regardless of the situations.” Which I am facing, I must take advantage of it. “
Walker admitted he had “not been the best that I should have been” at some times this season, but said he has found a comfortable zone in recent weeks.
“My life has been beautiful and hectic this year,” Walker said. “So I definitely found myself – I found myself again, so let’s deal with that.”
Walker, who started his first game last week since November 1, is second in the team with 70 tackles, including four losses. Harris has 31 interventions in a smaller role.
