7 Questions For Broncos Safety Darian Stewart Heading Into Week 4
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4) - Safety Darian Stewart came on Xfinity Monday Live to discuss the state of the Broncos heading into Week 4 of the season.
Stewart, who is in his first year with the Broncos, has made several key plays in the first three games and is part of a defense that has the No. 1 ranking in the league.
The following are his answers to questions posed by Vic Lombardi during the show.
You're 3-0 with two road wins. Does that mean anything this early in the season?
Absolutely. Anytime you can go on the road and win, it's big. Great teams are the same on the road, so that's what we try to be.
Some might argue that the Broncos may be 3-0, but they beat teams that are a combined 1-5. What do you think of such doubters?
That doesn't mean nothing. Any given Sunday you can be beat. It's going to be the most detailed team that's going to win, and whoever creates the most turnovers.
At 3-0 what is tone in locker room?
We're never satisfied. You just keep building, and try to get to 4-0 this week. It's just one week at a time, staying on your preparation, and make sure we handle our business.
Statistically, Von Miller didn't have a big game in Sunday night's win over the Lions. Is he having less of an impact?
Any time (the opponents) are doubling Von there'll be someone one-on-one, and you have to win (that matchup.) ... Malik (Jackson) played big last night, Demarcus Ware played big, the whole defensive line. It was good defense all around.
You played on the Ravens last year. Are you surprised they have yet to win a game so far this season?
They lost a lot of key players last year and so I'm not at all shocked. I thought the team went down a notch after we all left. It is what it is.
What was it like playing on the same high school team in Huntsville, Alabama, as your brother? (Stewart played wide receiver and his brother was the quarterback.)
It was big. We'd just look at each other, and we knew what we saw. When we'd both see the same thing (the defense was doing) and there would be a touchdown. ... We got to the semifinals of the playoffs that year.
As a safety, what do you like better? Making a big hit or getting an interception?
An interception. I love to make plays on that ball. Anytime I can get my hands on the ball and work with it, I'm all for it.
The Broncos face the Vikings and league leading rusher Adrian Peterson at home on Sunday.
