OL Connor Williams

(What is your opinion? QB Tua Tagovailoa says it was his fault. We want your opinion on the snap.) – “No, it was obviously a bad snap. I could have put it on him better. It’s something I’m working on and trying to improve day by day. But yeah, it was a bad snap. I take it all on me.”

(Obviously everyone wants the snap right here, but when you have a left-handed quarterback is it actually better to be a little left than a little right or a little high or a little low?) – “My job is to put it in his chest and make it unquestionable.”

(How did you feel physically coming out of the last game?) – “Every game you expect to get bruised up and be tired and whatnot and put it all out there.”

(So did the bye week come at a good time?) – “Yeah, I mean obviously a bye week helps. These seasons are long. They’re hard. So obviously it’s good to get your legs back under you and feel fresh.”

(There’s a chance RB De’Von Achane comes back this week. What would it mean to the offense to have him back?) – “We have so many weapons, so many great players and definitely (one) in him. Every time he steps on the field, he’s lightning. So it’d be exciting to have him back and we’ll get him back as quickly as we can.”

(You’ve got a mix of new guards that you’ve got to work with. What’s that process like trying to get comfortable with communication and the operation?) – “Lucky enough we’ve had the same room all the way through and so communication, everything has stayed the same all the way through throughout the year. (I have) faith and confidence in all our guards and all our players on the o-line. We’re working together, we’re growing together.”

(As it relates to blocking, one of the pass-blocking and run-blocking metrics has you as the No. 4 center in run blocking in the league and the No. 8 center in pass blocking in the league. How do you feel about how the blocking has gone for you this year?) – “I’m not worried anything about that. It’s about wins and losses as a team at the end of the day. Just improving as a unit day by day, week by week, and trying to get it all sorted out.”

(Head Coach Mike McDaniel was talking today about OL Robert Hunt and OL Robert Jones. Have you sort of given them any consolation or guidance about being patient during this process where as you’re getting through it you want to play but you also have to be cautious?) – “Obviously the competitiveness in us wants to put us back on the field as quickly as we can and so it’s about weighing the risks, the pros and the cons with it and just doing the best we can. At the end of the day, it’s got to be on you.”
