Postgame quotes: Patriots DL Ty Warren

On if the offense being good makes his job on defense easier
It makes it easy on us, I’ll tell you that. We were just worried about getting the Bills offense off the field and letting Tom Brady take care of them.

On if the defense was prepared for what the Bills were going to do
What I’m saying is just because you’re wearing a red shirt one week doesn’t mean you’ll be wearing that next week. That’s all I’m saying. They came out and did some different things to try to defeat what we try to do and obviously we’ve had some success here in the past and in the previous two weeks and they tried to defend what we did then by throwing some misdirections and some plays with the running back, [Marshawn] Lynch. He’s very explosive. They tried to use what we do to their advantage. That’s all I’m trying to say. Not that we weren’t prepared, because we make [adjustments] every week. We make them on the sideline and we made them at halftime. We were definitely prepared for what we saw previous to this game.

On if the team might get used to beating teams by this much
Well, like I said, I think we made some adjustments. The offense, they had a great game. The special teams were good, too. All those guys on special teams did a good job of stopping them and giving us good field position to work with. They were able to stop them on the shorter field. I think other than that long drive that every part of the game complimented each other.

On limiting the other team’s rushing attack
I think it definitely starts up front when it comes to stopping the run. They had a couple of runs where they squirted through with some misdirections and we had a problem stopping those, but I definitely think it starts up front. When things aren’t going well up front, there’s a trickle-down effect, so we definitely take pride in that. We’re not where we want to be, I’ll tell you that. We’ve got to do what we’ve got to do to get to where we want to be. We’ve got a tough opponent coming up in Cincinnati on Monday night and go from there.
