Guard/Tackle Laremy Tunsil

(On how he played as a starter at left guard against the Falcons) – “Looking at the film, I feel like I played pretty good. I still need some improvement. I still need some work. Like I said last week – and like I said the week before – I’m going to keep listening to the coaches, keep listening to the vets and try to get better every day.”

(On whether he has had a breakthrough at left guard) – “Like I said, I’m going to continue to get better every day and keep going through the same things, listen to the vets, listen to the coaches and learn from that.”

(On whether not overthinking his play is considered a breakthrough playing left guard) – “I really don’t know what a breakthrough is. You can have a good game (or) a bad game. I really don’t listen to all the ‘breakthrough’ stuff. There’s room for improvement. I’m trying to get better every day and listen to the coaches.”

(On not finishing yesterday’s practice) – “I’m going to leave that to the coaches, leave that to the head man (Head Coach Adam Gase).”

(On not allowing a sack this preseason) – “I still got one more game to play, man.” (laughter)

(On whether not allowing a sack so far in the preseason is a point of pride for him) – “I’m going to continue to get better. I’m not looking at that. It’s just the preseason so I’m going to still get better at that.”

(On whether or not he will play on Thursday against the Titans) – “Yes.”

(On whether he will play a significant amount in Thursday’s game) – “Probably. It’s up to the coaches. I just know I’m playing.”

(On his run-blocking game) – “I feel like I need to improve in every, single thing – pass blocking, run blocking, screens. I feel like I need to get better in everything at guard.”

(On whether pass blocking is easier than run blocking) – “(There are) some big boys down there (on the defensive line). I need to keep improving at the run game and the pass game.”

(On transitioning to left guard from left tackle) – “It’s a new position, so everything happens quicker; but it’s football. There’s nothing bad about that. (I) just keep working every day.”

(On the challenges of having three interior offensive lineman playing new roles for the team) – “We’re going to work. We’re going to work every day to get better.”

(On how the offensive line has performed this preseason) – “There is always room for improvement, like I’ve said a thousand times. We’re coming together as a group.”

(On whether the offensive line can pat themselves on the back for only allowing one sack in the preseason thus far) – “No, we can’t be. We’ve got to keep working.”

(On the chemistry between him, C/G Anthony Steen and G/T Jermon Bushrod) – “I think it’s coming along pretty good. The whole offensive line is close. We always hang out with each other; we always joke around, so I think we’re pretty close.”

(On whether he is ready to play for an entire game) – “Yes, I think so. I’m going to have the coaches prepare me. The players are going to prepare me. The vets are going to prepare me. We’re going to keep going at that.”

(On whether his conditioning is on point for the regular season) – “I’m going to continue to work every day with the little flaws that I do have and get better every day.”

(On the biggest hurdles he has had to overcome learning to play a new position) – “I wouldn’t say I have any hurdles. It’s just a process. I’m going to continue to keep going through the process and get better every day.”
