Our thought and prayers are with him and his family. He’ll be day to day just like all of our injuries.” On if Paxton’s availability for Saturday “We’ll answer that day to day.” On long snapping in practice without Paxton “Like any position on the team, we’re well prepared.” On the New England tight ends “We have great respect for their whole offense. [New England QB Tom Brady] No. 12, it’s no mystery that he’s kind of the engineer of it. They protect well. They run-block well. They’ve got a good stable of backs. Their wide outs are talented as they’ve been in big spots, and their tight ends, they create a lot of tough matchups.” On this season “There have been some fun moments, no doubt. That’s why I think we all do this. Each week brings on a new test, and we have a huge test in Foxborough this Saturday night.” On RB Willis McGahee “He was a tremendous player [in college]. [Running backs Coach] Eric Studesville was his position coach in Buffalo, so there definitely was some background there. That was influential in us deciding whether to bring Willis in, but we don’t bring players in that we don’t think have football left. We felt very good about bringing him in here.” On McGahee against New England “That was a long time ago. We’re addressing the now which is preparation for the New England Patriots this time. Willis is healthy. He’ll play, and we’ll see what that brings.” On if he was able to take on an increase in production this season “I think it’s fairly obvious that he was.” On this week “We’ve had a great week.” On QB Tom Brady “It’s his awareness. You don’t have to be real fast to be efficient. You have to play fast, and he does. He’s got a good feel for how to slide away from the rush and find the soft spots in the pass rush.” ©2012 Denver Broncos Football Club. All rights reserved.
