(I wanted to get your reaction on reviewing the film from Monday Night’s game on the offensive line. How do you feel you guys played and what your focus is now going into this week?)– “Didn’t play well enough, obviously. A lot of stuff that we need to correct and get tighter with. That started yesterday with watching it and then making sure that everyone is detailed today and tomorrow and the next day and making sure we are getting things right. There was some good but not enough good and we can be a lot better.”

(It seemed like on Monday Night the Saints had a lot of success running those four-man rushes with the stunts, I know that’s obviously really tough post-snap but as an offensive line group, is there any way to communicate that better to make sure that the looping guy comes and isn’t free?) – “Yeah, definitely communicating would help with awareness. That way you can react faster and snap things off faster. Once the ball is snapped, it just falls back on technique. The same technique you always use to pick it up in practice, we needed to get to that in the game consistently. When we’re getting teams that run games really well, we knew they did and we just need to trust our fundamentals, technique and pick things up.”

(Head Coach Brian Flores mentioned Titans DT Jeffery Simmons being one of the best players in the NFL. They’ve got plenty of weapons up front with him, DL Denico Autry and several other guys. Just wanted to get the players perspective on what the Titans bring on that interior front against you guys this Sunday.) – “They’re really good. Obviously, Jeffery is the star of it all but they have a really good, sound defense, especially their front. They’re big, they’re fast, they’re powerful, they play smart and they play with a lot of effort. They present a lot of good challenges for us, which is exciting. It gives us a chance to go against the best and expect a lot of good stuff. Like I said, they’re big, physical, they fly around, they play smart and they play with tremendous effort.”
