DT Davon Godchaux

(When you found out about DT Jordan Phillips, what was that?) – “This was a team decision – (Head Coach Adam) Gase and the front office. It had nothing to do with me or any of the d-linemen. It was the decision that they made.”

(Was there a message sent, do you think?) – “I don’t think there was a message. It was what they thought was best for the team. It was their decision, so we have to move on with it. It’s on to the Cincinnati Bengals. That’s my main focus. The decision was made and I’m onto the Cincinnati Bengals. I don’t worry about anybody getting cut. I’m on to the Bengals. That’s the most important thing. We came off a lost to the Patriots and we’re on to the Bengals.”

(What needs to change this week?) – “As a team?”

(For you guys up front?) – “Just keep playing like we’re playing. Believe it or not, we needed that loss. We needed that to get back on track. We’re onto the Bengals. Just keep playing how we’re playing. Tighten it up a little bit, but keep playing our technique and believing in what (Defensive Line) Coach Kris (Kocurek) is saying and (Defensive Coordinator Matt) Burke and each and everybody. Just keep playing how we are playing.”

(You needed that loss, why do you say that?) – “I just felt like as a team, we just needed that to the back end of the season. We were 3-0. Now we’re 3-1 and got a wakeup call, so now we can get back on track.”

(Head Coach Adam Gase said that the Patriots switched stuff up. When you are rotating linemen, how hard is it to make those adjustments with guys coming in and out?) – “It’s Tom Brady. He’s the best at it. He sees us getting off the field and getting fresh. He wants to speed the tempo up. A lot of teams will want to do that when they see us rotating guys in. It was the first team, but it won’t be the last team.”

(It’ll just be being sharper when you get in there from the get go?) – “Yes, 100 percent.”

(I’m assuming you’re going against the ones. You’ve gone against C Travis Swanson and C/G Ted Larsen and those guys. How are they looking now as far as a unit?) – “They’re ready. The o-line coach has done a great job. I’m not an o-linemen but I see their progression. They’ve been doing a great job all training camp and all season.”

(What’s your level of confidence in your group?) – “I’m very confident. That’s my group. I believe in each and everybody. Whoever they bring up off the practice squad, that’s our group and we believe in those guys. We trust those guys and it starts at practice.”
