Simeon Barrow generated a lot of headlines when he flirted with re-entering the Portal this offseason. So far, it seems all sides are glad he stayed in Orange and Green. He met with reporters to discuss the season:
On his season so far: Things have been going great, man. I got great guys next to me. I got a great DC that's calling the right plays. I can see the results. We're just going to keep on working.
On the heat: I look like a different color than last time you see me, but I'm used to it now.
On the defensive tackle room: We’ve got dogs all around. We got Tyler Baron. We got EA (Elijah Alston). We got Mesidor. Bain’s coming back real soon. We got everything. We got CJ Clark. Marley Cook. Everything is going smooth right now.
We're going to keep on elevating our game. We're going to learn the defense a lot more and we're going to play a lot faster.
On Justin Scott: He's growing into a great player. He sits right between me and Mesidor. He’s always asking questions. He always wants to find something to get better at. I feel like he's going to be a great, great player in the future.
On the quick chemistry of the DL: There are a lot of experienced people and they know what it takes to be great. We all had the same mindset. We learned each other and learned how each other played so we could play faster with each other. So I'm not really surprised. I feel like we knew what we were coming into and we knew how to work off of it.
On Tyler Baron: He's a dog. He's a student of the game. Every meeting, he’s asking the questions. He's asking JT great questions. He's a student of the game, and that's the biggest thing.
