Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh

(On when he started or needed to start planning for the Bengals) – “Sunday night, Monday morning. (It’s as) simple as that. Technology is a great thing in this world. I’ve got an iPad at home so I can watch whatever I need to watch.”

(On if he ever feels like he doesn’t have a handle on everything on shorts weeks because of the preparation time) – “No. Not for me personally, because at the end of the day, if you look at a normal week we go Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We’ve still got three days before our game, so we should be able to be fine. It’s just going to be sped up.”

(On what insight Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph has given the team after being in Cincinnati for so many years) – “I think he understands what their offense wants to do and what type of players that they have. I think that’s going to be the best insight he’s going to be able to give us because I think they are smart enough to figure out that he is going to have those pieces (of information) and he’s going to tell us. So they are going to combat that. So we can’t really look at schemes or things of that nature that they’ve done in the past, because they’re probably going to end up changing it.”

(On Bengals CB Adam Jones saying that Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph is one of the best coaches that he’s ever been around in making adjustments and if that is his experience in the short time with him) – “I would definitely agree with that. I would also agree with the simple fact that Vance understands that he’s not out there on the football field making plays. His players are going out there, so he puts us in great positions to do that. That’s something I’m excited about, being around him for three games and being our play caller.”

(On at what point does his body starts to feel good on a typical week) – “This is football. You never feel good.” (Laughter)

(On when his body starts to feel okay during the week) – “Honestly, I don’t pay attention to those things. I don’t focus on that stuff. (I) just go out there and play and do what I got to do to make sure that I’m prepared.”

(On if the run defense is concerning after the first three games) – “Obviously, teams have found ways to crease us on certain plays. I think at the end of the day, it’s going to come down to us to continue to find ways to make sure we execute 100 percent. I think a lot of those big plays come in small spurts. I think we do a great job, for the most part, of being consistent and then sometimes we just let them spurt out. We have to eliminate those.”

(On if he is double-teamed most of the time or all of the time) – “I don’t pay attention to those things. There’s no point. I would imagine that I’d be double-teamed most of the time, but at the end of the day, whoever is in front of me whether it’s one, two, three, four or five guys, my goal is to beat them and get after the running back or the quarterback.”

(On if he has had three guys block him on one play) – “Like I said, I don’t pay attention to those things. I just go out there and play.”
