Rome just interview Nick Barnett...breakdown below.
Knock Rome all you want, but he always acts positively towards Buffalo. One of the few national guys that doesn't take shots on the small guys whenever he gets the shot.
On being in Buffalo/new uniform... definitely thought it was weird at first. Uniform make his eyes look better
Selling point...fans were awesome, something he wants wherever he goes having been to GB and Oregon St. in college. Also sees potential in the team after watching it for a day and actually, really likes the small market atmosphere.
Detroit was an option cause playing GB twice was a selling point.
Regarding SB Ring controversy, felt after 8yrs he deserved it, but admitted there was an empty feeling not having played in the big game.
Regarding Buffalo...likes the city and small-town, blue collar atmosphere. Rome gave huge props to bills fans, and he said they were the tipping point at camp.
Goals here in Buffalo...bring back winning and reward fans for their commitment
On being the "new guy"...like the first day in school. Weird because he's a vet, yet he felt like a rookie. Said the players and coaches were the most welcoming he's ever seen. Huge reason why he signed.
All in all, good interview. Rome is always cool towards Buffalo.
