Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh

(On the challenges of playing against a quarterback you don’t know much about or have yet to see play) – “I don’t really look at it any differently than any other quarterback. If he is holding the ball, you take him down and if he hands it off, you go get the running back. It’s as simple as that to me.”

(On to not let the season snowball) – “I thinks we just have to focus on the game that is at hand. We can’t do anything about the other two weeks. They are in the books; they are in the past. We have to come out and be focused and be ready to make a statement at home. Obviously we want to make sure we have a home-field advantage all the time and be successful at home and protect our house.”

(On having a sense of urgency to get a win this week) – “There is no question. There’s a sense of urgency with every single game, no what time of the year it is or no matter what your record is. Whether you’re at the end of the season and already in the playoffs or whatever it may be, every single game is important.”

(On after watching the film why New England was able to run the ball effectively in the fourth quarter) – “They had a great scheme and executed. We didn’t execute the way we needed to and I think it’s as simple as that.”

(On the few snaps that he was not on the field later in the game) – “I feel like I’m in there most every opportunity that I can. If I’m not in there, there are obviously guys that are capable of being in the game and playing – whether it’s (Julius) Warmsley, Chris Jones, Jordan Phillips, ‘J.J.’ (Jason Jones) that comes down inside – so I don’t really understand the question.”

(On doing anything differently when DE Cameron Wake is in the game with him) – “No. We all understand what our scheme is and when guys are coming in. I think you would be oblivious to not understand who is playing next to you and who is not playing next to you. That is just a part of the game of having a rotation and having eight guys, nine guys that can go in there and play and are interchangeable. Of course you understand who is in the game and who is not in the game.”

(On what the Cleveland Browns do well on offense) – “They have a great (group) of running backs. Both of them run very hard and are downhill runners. (It is) something that we are definitely going to have to focus on and stop in the run game, as we want to do each and every game. The offensive line is having a little trouble with injuries right now, but obviously they have Hall of Famers on that roster right now, as well as some guys that have gotten the job done for them in years past. At the end of the day, we have to go out there and shut down the run and put it in the quarterback’s hands to beat us.”

(On what it is like to finally play at home and not have to get on a plane to play) – “It’s always nice – especially being able to stay at home – to hear your fans cheer for you and (to) just go out there and hopefully put on a good performance for them.”
