S Isa Abdul-Quddus

(On what is so challenging about what the Patriots do offensively) – “They try to get matchups. They try to take advantage of matchups to get linebackers on receivers and tight ends and stuff like that. We’ve just got to really be poised in our technique and make sure we do the right thing.”

(On QB Jimmy Garoppolo) – “He’s going to be really good. He has a lot of poise. He sticks in the pocket. He’s not afraid to take a hit. He’s pretty good.”

(On how he feels about the team’s ability as a secondary to produce turnovers) – “I think we’ve been doing pretty well as long as we play our technique. As long we are doing what we’re supposed to do, the ball will fall in our laps.”

(On why they have been so effective in getting interceptions) – “With our coaches, we always do a bunch of technique drills, so we try to make sure our techniques are as best as possible. But then our coaches always put us in great schemes and it makes it easy.”

(On how he would describe the secondary’s physical traits as a group) – “I feel like physically, we run around. We have a lot of speed on the field. We have a lot of length outside with the corners. Both of them are pretty tall and stuff like that. We fly around and hit.”

(On if it’s tough facing an unknown in QB Jimmy Garoppolo) – “It’s 50/50. It’s up in the air. You really don’t know until game day but you know that the Patriots have a certain way of doing things. We know how he’s been taught. So we try to learn from that.”

(On if he’s been through anything like this team not winning in New England since 2008) – “Last year (with Detroit,) we went to Green Bay and we won for the first time since 1991 or something like that.”

(On how aware was he about not winning since 1991 going into the Lions/Packers game last year) – “I don’t really try to think about it because it’s bad. It’s bad history. I want to think about good things and stuff like that but it always feels good to go into anybody’s stadium and get a win because it’s one of the toughest things to do in the league.”
