OL Austin Jackson

(What have you seen from T Kendall Lamm since he’s been here in practice? If he has to step in and play against this Chargers d-line, what do you expect to get out of him?) – “We expect a lot of good stuff out of Lamm. He’s very fundamental-based, very focused. He’s definitely someone you want to lean on, being an older guy. He’s very smart, knows his process. And those are things that he’s able to help the whole group collectively.”

(College ball in L.A., a chance to start the season going back. What’s your excitement?) – “Oh, it’s high, super high. I’m super excited for the Trojans. Looking to see what they do this week against – I know what we’re going to do this week against Stanford, but looking to see it and I’m really excited for those boys and that whole program.”

(What about you? Just new season for you going back to familiar territory a little bit. SoFi obviously different then the Coliseum. But just what you’ve been through to now be where you’re at, how’s it like to finally be yourself?) – “Yeah, I was actually really sad. We had two games in California last year and I missed both those games, so it was kind of nice to get it back first week. Excited to go down there and represent the Dolphins the right way especially on the home turf.”

(How much rust has there been in general in terms of not playing a lot of games in the last 18 months because of the ankle last year?) – “I think I’m back to where I was at with the ankle, if not better just with all the rehab and stuff. Took a big mental observation of last season to see where I really needed to be at. I’m really excited. No rust here, just ready to go.”

(How does going up against LB Jaelan Phillips every day benefit you getting ready for the season?) – “It helps a lot. Helps a lot. Training camp was huge for me. Definitely getting to go against a legit rusher who brings it every play and just competing and competing for about a whole month it feels like. Definitely helps a lot.”

(In the past, they switched Chargers DE Joey Bosa back and forth. Are you prepared for everybody?) – “Yeah, I’m definitely prepared for everybody. 52 will go back and forth, 97 will go back and forth, 94 will go back and forth, 45, he’ll go back and forth, but he’s younger, so I’m not sure.”

(How many players names do you know? Because you guys know numbers from scouting. Do you know all their edge rushers, or both of their primary edge rushers?) – “I know their names, I just don’t say it.”

(You learn names too because you’re a fan or?) – “I know names as a fan, but I don’t know coaches and practice, we just talk about people with numbers.”
