He seemed to be distancing himself from any controversy and responded without his feelings getting in the way. The QB added, “We’re going to have to prepare for him and be ready for all the different types of moves that he’s got. They have a good D-line, anyway. They count on getting pressure from their front four to get to the quarterback. I don’t really care about his personal feelings.”
