DENVER BRONCOS QUOTES (1/20/16)
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER SHAQUIL BARRETT
On if it is nice to see CB Taurean Nixon be promoted to active roster
“Yeah, he deserved it. He’d been giving us great looks in practice all the time, and I know the coaches have been keeping note of
that just in case something like this might happen that he could be one of the guys to come up. He deserves it. He’s a
hardworking guy.”
On how the team stays grounded with the gravity of the game
“It’s just a part of what we have to do right now. It’s just normal for us. We’ve been doing interviews for a long time now. Guys
are used to it now. I know guys like me are still kind of new to it a little bit, but I’m one individual, so I’m just taking it for what it
is.”
On if the defense has to expect the unexpected from Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick’s offense
“You don’t ever know what you’re going to get. That’s why a lot of people call him a genius coach. We’re just going to come out
there and play our techniques, do all our rules. When there is a guy in there that we don’t expect out there, we just play our
techniques and our rules because our coaches have prepared us for those situations and everything will be good.”
On the benefit of having already played Patriots QB Tom Brady this season
“I think it’s huge for us, just to see like from Brady to the O-line, how they like to block and if he steps up in the pocket or rolls
out. I think that’s huge that we played them already, saw some of his tendencies and plays he likes to throw the ball to you in
certain spots and stuff like that.”
