Andre Patterson Adjustment Quotations

When I came to Denver, he was one of the guys I brought up. (The Browns) were going to the 3-4 (alignment); this guy is 6-foot-7 (and) it's going to be tough for him to make the adjustment to be a defensive end, so when they released him, we were ready to sign him, so we signed him to the practice squad and he did an outstanding job for us on the practice squad.

It's one thing when you play a team with a big back and it's going to be him packing that thing 40 times. You get ready for it. But they only give you Bettis for 15 and Parker for 25. That's a big adjustment the defense has to make.
