Wade Phillips, on fitting Suh into a role that he has never before played: “Last when I came in, they said, gosh, you’re going to play a 3-4 and Aaron Donald, he’s not going to be able to play in a 3-4. So…”
Wade Phillips, on communication with the front office during the acquisition process: “They come to me and say, ‘We got this guy.’ I said, ‘You guys did a hell of a job. I appreciate it.”
Ndamukong Suh said he prefers to be addressed as “Suh.” Having gotten a look at him, I’d say he can be called whatever he chooses.

Wade Phillips on defensive changes: “They’re upgrades. The two corners, we feel like are top corners. And we brought in elite defensive linemen. We improved in those areas, talent-wise. Now we have to make up for the guys we’ll miss.”

Suh on Donald: “He wasn’t recruiting me but he was definitely excited about the opportunity from my vantage point of being able to team up and play together…. He’s a great person. We’ve met before, we’ve talked before.”
