T Austin Jackson

(As you look back at the tape last week, what were your takeaways as far as how you did? Where do you go from here as far as improvements go?) – “Yeah as a team, we started out fast. We didn’t take advantage of our defer, so we got the ball back at halftime and we didn’t capitalize on some points in the middle. I think playing the whole game – executing the whole game, not just playing. Executing the whole game is probably my biggest takeaway from the film.”

(As far as your play, just thoughts on how you did and where you would like to get better.) – “I did some things as well. I definitely was more consistent in my pass pro, technique-wise, in terms of just doing the right thing.”

(Where do you think this offensive line is in relation to being able to hold your blocks long enough to allow either QB Tua Tagovailoa or QB Jacoby Brissett to look downfield and push the ball downfield, rather than just dump ups and short passes?) – “I think it’s there. We have some plays where we throw the ball short and some plays where we throw the ball long. Some plays we’re throwing the ball short and it turns into throwing the ball long. That’s just kind of football. I definitely think this offensive line can do that – can do both.”

(I think it was on the RB Malcolm Brown touchdown run where you sort of buried a guy. How did that particular play … how did that feel for you?) – “It felt good. It’s part of what we do day in and day out. We work to do stuff like that. It felt good. Looking to get a lot more.”

(One week removed from your absence, did you feel a bit stronger overall and a little bit better stamina?) – “Yeah, definitely. I’m not making any excuses or anything but I definitely felt the difference having a couple of weeks under my belt going into this last game.”

(It felt like – and I’m not an offensive line expert – but it felt like at times, for you, and you can tell me if I’m wrong, there was a little bit of hesitation off the snap, perhaps wanting to ensure that there wasn’t a false start. Tell me about that. Were there times where you felt maybe you were slightly hesitant on Sunday?) – “No, especially because being away, I can’t hear the quarterback a majority of the time. I’m already looking at the ball so whenever the ball goes, I go. Kind of like the receivers. Sometimes you have to hesitate coming off the ball if you’re reading like a stunt or a blitz. You’ve got to abort your first mission and go to your second gameplan, so that’s probably where you see that.”
