Center Daniel Kilgore

(What do you think is the potential for this offensive line? QB Ryan Tannehill just said he has the most confidence in this offensive line than he’s ever had.) – “Well, when your starting quarterback says that. That’s probably the highest compliment you can get as an offensive line. We haven’t even played one game yet but this line has the potential of being a great offensive line. We’ve got some young guys and we’ve got some veteran guys – not just in the starting five but the guys behind us well. We have too good of a group of men not to be good, if that makes sense. We work well together. It’s an open-door policy. When you have something to say, you say it. That’s one thing that any group that works together, I think that’s the number one priority. This group does that. It’s working well together.”

(What you just said, have you guys talked about that among yourselves, ‘We’re too good to not be good?’) – “We’re too good of people not to be good. Sure. I’ve been saying that since day one after meeting these guys. I think good things happen to good people, and I think we have a room full. Starting with the coaching staff, bringing in (Josh) Sitton, the guys who have been here, the guys who have been through things, guys who have played in Super Bowls, guys who had one-win seasons. Good things happen to good people and we have a room full of good people. We’ve not played our first game yet, so the verdict is still out; but again, I think you have a group that’s going to come to work every day. That’s all you can ask for.”

(T Laremy Tunsil was saying how much G Josh Sitton has meant to him. What have you seen in Sitton as far as being a teacher to guys like him?) – “Some good hair. He has some really good hair. (laughter) Just the knowledge of the game. He’s been around forever. He’s a guy that I could see when he hangs it up, he’ll be a coach one day. He communicates with Laremy. Laremy is still a young guy, so just anything he sees he can communicate with me or Laremy or the other side of the ball. Just his knowledge of the game, for sure.”

(Was there something specific that you saw or heard that sold you on your teammates on the offensive line?) – “Yes. The past coaches that I kept in touch with (were) talking about the guys and how good they were. Just knowing the background of (Head Coach Adam) Gase and the offenses that he’s been a part of. Talking to the front office guys, who they were wanting to bring in and kind of just where they were. The guys that are here, coming in for me, I knew first-hand that they were going to be what they wanted. Just knowing that those guys are good guys made it an easy transition for me.”
