Guard/Tackle Laremy Tunsil

(On his thoughts on Ole Miss’ performance against Florida State) – “We’re young. We’re young in the secondary; we had some injuries (and) we got too relaxed in the second half. It was disappointing, it hurt me. But if we played Florida Stat last year, we would’ve won that.”

(On if he went to the game) – “No, I wish I did.”

(On Jameis Winston’s halftime speech for Florida State) – “I thought it was a pretty good speech.”

(On if he is relaxed or excited about playing in his first official NFL game) – “I’m getting more excited each day. I’m going to stay in my playbook as much as I can. I’m going to talk to my coaches and let them guide me. I’m going to listen to the vets. I’m just trying to get ready and be prepared for that game.”

(On if he will watch tomorrow night’s game to kick off the NFL season) – “I’ll probably stay to myself, get ready for the playbook, talk to my coaches, talk to some of the vets, talk to the old man who was just over here (Branden Albert and) listen to those guys and see what they think.”

(On how T Branden Albert has been for him) – “Like he said, he’s the best mentor I have. Coming into the league, looking up to one those guys that have been here for nine to 10 years, it’s nice.”

(On if he expects to see more of DT Ahtyba Ruben or DT Tony McDaniel on Sunday) – “They switch a lot, so I really don’t know who’s on my side. But the whole offensive line will go in there prepared to block anybody we can. It’s going to be a good game. They’re pretty good upfront.”

(On what has he seen from DT Tony McDaniel and DT Ahtyba Ruben on tape) – “They’re good players. They’re a good team overall. We have to come in there and be prepared.”

(On the one thing T Branden Albert has told him that has stuck in his head) – “He’s told me a lot of things. It’s really motivation, just to keep pushing; just keep pushing because I’m new to the league coming straight out of college and I’m new. It’s more motivational stuff.”

(On what some of his teammates have told him about making mistakes or being beat on a play) – “They really don’t judge you like that. So if you do get beat on a play, you’re really just looking forward to the next play, and when we get into the film room, we’ll correct that.”

(On what his NFL journey has been like since being drafted) – “I can’t complain. The journey has been good. (It has been a) hard working journey, but everything is still good.”

(On the feeling he will have when he walks on the field Sunday) – “That’ll be a nice feeling. (It will be) a nice feeling to be there with the whole team, the whole offensive line and coming together as a unit.”

(On how playing football in the SEC prepared him for the NFL) – “No matter what they are saying right now, the SEC is the best conference. You go against the best guys. It’s better than the ACC, the Big Ten, all of them. You have some good players that go to the SEC (and) a lot of powerhouse teams like Alabama LSU and those guys. You go against them almost every week.”

(On the best bull rusher he’s ever faced) – “In high school, I’ll have to say (Baltimore Ravens DE) Timmy Jernigan. We went to the same high school. I would have to say Timmy Jernigan is the best bull rusher. In college, I’m going to have to give it to, (Auburn DE) Carl Lawson.”

(On how he will deal with playing in a noisy stadium Sunday) – “Just trust my center with the head count – just looking at him, understanding the plays and understanding the snap count. I’ve been here before; I’ve been in loud stadiums before so it won’t be nothing new.”

(On if he enjoys playing in loud stadiums) – “It’s a good atmosphere, but no I don’t like loud stadiums. You can’t hear nothing out there.”

(On what he wants Ryan Tannehill to know about how he will play Sunday) – “I’m going to give it all I got.”

(On the difference between preparing for a regular season game than a preseason game) – “I can say it’s more detailed. Preseason was kind of, I don’t want to say relaxed, or that it wasn’t that serious, I really don’t have the word for it; but this is the real deal, more focused. I was focused in the preseason too, but it’s more serious now.”
