Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh

(On the offseason workouts) – “I’m just out here working hard. Defensively – the defensive line – we have to focus on our technique, and that’s where we’re at. We don’t have pads on, so it’s all about technique and fundamentals and footwork.”

(On how Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph’s scheme fits his skillset) – “I haven’t even looked at things like that. Out there, I’m just trying to understand what my job is and what I have to understand. Like I said, (it is about) going back and focusing on technique and the task that we have to do.”

(On whether he had any input on the hiring of Senior Defensive Assistant/Pass Rush Specialist Jim Washburn) – “No, I didn’t.”

(On attending voluntary offseason practices) – “First of all, this is a mandatory minicamp, so I’m always here. If you ever watch my track record, I always come to OTAs. I never come to offseason true workouts (and) stuff like that. History is all that tells everything.”

(On Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph) – “Great coach. Great personality. (I) enjoy being around him (and) love talking to him. I’m learning a lot from what he has and brings to the table.”

(On his relationship with Head Coach Adam Gase) – “I have a lot of interaction with (Head) Coach (Adam) Gase. I have a lot of fun with him. At the same time, I’m learning a lot from him. I love competing against him. He gives me a hard time; I give him a hard time. It’s a good mixture of him coaching me and being critical, as well as giving me constructive criticism (and) at the same time being competitive.”

(On whether the Wide 9 defense will suit the unit) – “I’m an interior lineman. That’s more (of a question) for the d-ends.”

(On whether the Wide 9 defense will suit the front seven) “I enjoy it. I enjoy that attack-style defense. It has suited me well. (I have) broken records with it. If you’ve had success with something, why not go back to it?”

(On working out with comedian Kevin Hart) – “Kevin Hart is good people. I’ve been in movies with him before. He’s a part of the Nike family, as well as myself. It’s really (like) hanging out with a buddy and enjoying, having some fun. It was great to get a workout on Saturday, which I was going to do anyway (and) now making it a little (more) fun.”

(On whether he will play some football with Kevin Hart) – “We talked about it a little bit. I don’t know. We have to figure out his position first.”

(On what position Kevin Hart could play) – “You’ve got to ask him that. (laughter) But he has a chance. He’s got some skills.”
