OL Isaiah Wynn

(Another good game yesterday for you. What’s fun about guard or works to your skillset or something you’ve really enjoyed about the experience?) – “I enjoy playing offensive line. I enjoy blocking, run blocking, pass blocking, all of that, so it’s fun.”

(What do you think has allowed this offensive line to come together even amidst guys coming in to replace an injured player, guys changing positions, etc.?) – “I think it started in the offseason. Just everybody working diligently to complete their assignment to gel together, to play for one another and not just for themselves.”

(When you think about the Philadelphia Eagles defensive front, what comes to mind?) – “Fast, physical, they’re big.”

(Deep, too?) – “Yeah, they are. They got ‘em.”

(How much satisfaction do you get out of knowing or perhaps you didn’t have that much experience with this before, but this line for years was pretty much maligned and now you guys are getting a lot of praise. How much satisfaction do you get out of that?) – “It’s always good to know that you’re doing your job, but we still got a long way to go. We’ve still got a lot of things that we can all do better at and correct that. But yeah, it’s been real good.”

(What do you think this line has done best so far?) – “Run blocking and pass blocking and doing our jobs. (laughter)”

(What things do you like about the zone blocking scheme that you think sort of has maximized your skillset?) – “Running. I consider myself kind of athletic, (laughter) so being able to play to that strength is pretty dope.”

(We don’t really know you to a degree. T Kendall Lamm as well. What can you tell us about him as a player, as a person?) – “He’s a vet, man. He’s smart. Kendall (Lamm) is kind of quiet, but he does everything by action. Like I said, he’s a vet so he’s very knowledgeable. He knows what to look for and he’s the one on the o-line with the experience that helps us all go.”

(And if T Kendall Lamm was going to give a scouting report on you, what would he say?) – “Oh, shoot, I don’t know. You’re going to have to ask him. (laughter)”

(What do you think your strengths are as a player?) – “Like I said, I feel like I’m somewhat athletic, somewhat strong. I don’t know. We’ve got to put on the tape and see.”

(I thought you were going to say run blocking and pass blocking.) – “Yeah, yeah, both of them. You know that. (laughter)”

(What’s it like playing under Offensive Line Coach Butch Barry?) – “It’s exciting. He’s always full of energy. Same guy day in and day out. It’s definitely fun to have him leading the charge in our room.”

(When we watch the start of practice especially indoors and we can hear Offensive Line Coach Butch Barry yelling it all, it almost seems like he’s going through the reps with you guys or something.) – “Yeah, yeah, just watch him. (laughter) Just watch him. Don’t just listen to him, but watch him. You’ll see. But he is going through the reps with us, so just take a peek at it.”

(What growth did you see out of OL Liam Eichenberg on Sunday?) – “Just his leadership. Getting us in the right position at the right time because a lot of times we get different things sometimes during the game that we may not have seen or we haven’t seen in a while and his ability to put us in the right spot has been good.”

(You’ve obviously been a good NFL tackle and you were needed at tackle in New England. Was there ever a time during the four years there where anyone on the coaching staff – Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick or the offensive line coach or anyone brought up you playing guard or that was just never mentioned?) – “We have this saying here and it’s called ‘be present.’ So I’m present right here. (laughter)”

(But it wasn’t anything that I guess crossed your mind until this year because you weren’t asked to do it. Against the Patriots as you left the field, did anyone from the Patriots say anything nice to you about how well you’ve played? I know it was early in the season, Week 2 at that point?) – “No, I really didn’t talk to them too much.”
