DT John Jenkins

(Literally, how are you after the extensive playing time that you got? I’m sure you didn’t go into the game thinking you’d be getting that many snaps.) – “Why do you think that? I mean I’ve been around for a while, so you just never know what might happen. My mind is always thinking playing every game, every snap.”

(In terms of the productivity they had running the football, obviously it wasn’t a great day considering their two tailbacks fumbled. How would you assess the team’s performance against the run last Sunday?) – “I think ‘E-Rowe’ (Eric Rowe) said it better. It was the first game, the beginning of the season, and not everybody is perfect. The goal is to win the game and correct the things we need to correct. The biggest jump is from the first week to the second week. I know things weren’t ideal but we were still able to be good in situational – play good situational football.”

(New England went 11-of-16 on third down. I don’t know how you’ve been able to break that down over the last 24 hours or so, but what were they doing that allowed them to have so much success against you guys on third down?) – “They were able to execute. I’ll just leave it at that. This is a grown man sport and everybody gets paid to do their job. They were just doing their job and we were able to do things when we were able to do things at the right time.”

(When you pick apart situation by situation, is it generally things that are correctable?) – “Yes. Without a doubt. Obviously we caused fumbles when we needed to cause fumbles, we had stops when we needed to cause stops. Granted, our defense in the red zone, we stopped them – they were in the red zone four times and they only had one (touchdown). That’s a good thing for us to look at.”
