DENVER BRONCOS QUOTES (9/13/12)
HEAD COACH JOHN FOX
On injuries
“Update on the injury report: [G] Chris Kuper did not participate, forearm. [CB] Chris Harris did not participate, ankle. [WR] Demaryius Thomas was full [participations], shoulder. [G] Manny Ramirez was full [participation], elbow.”
On the signing of C Dan Koppen
“He’s a good football player. We have a good history on him. [Offensive Line Coach] Dave Magazu coached him in college. I knew him from the time [he was with] New England. He’s a guy that we feel like improves our football team.”
On if J.D. Walton is still the starting center
“Oh yeah. [Koppen] wasn’t brought in for that purpose at all. Just depth. [He’s] an accomplished guy that can step in, God forbid anything happen.”
On the defensive challenges against the Falcons
“I think we get a lot of reps at no-huddle. Obviously the Falcons present a lot of problems because they’re well-coached and they’ve got very good football players. The addition of [WR] Julio [Jones] makes them even more of a threat. We’ll have our work cut out for us in the Georgia Dome.”
On the challenge of playing indoors
“My headache is proof that I’m not sure it can get much louder than what we had [the volume at with the artificial crowd noise] today. Again, it’s all about what you do under pressure. It’s one thing to simulate noise, but this game’s [about more] than just noise.”
On CB Chris Harris’ ankle
“We’re concerned about all of them. He’s day-to-day. He did not practice today. We’ll enlighten you tomorrow.”
