C/G Evan Boehm

(On the offensive line’s performance yesterday.) – “I think we had a pretty good game, but we lost. That’s what it boils down to is the wins and losses. I think overall as an offensive line, I think we played pretty well. Like always, there’s a couple plays that we always want to have back and see what went wrong here and what we needed to do better in certain situations. You look at the sack category; we didn’t let up any sacks and that’s a big plus. ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) also helped us out with scrambling and doing what ‘Fitz’ does, but I think overall our pass pro(tection) wasn’t too bad. Like always, there’s always corrections that need to be made.”

(A lot of moving parts, so how did you feel it worked in terms of the chemistry and the communication?) – “I think we’re all starting to get a lot more comfortable with each other. It’s another brand new offensive line that went out there and played in the sixth game of the season. I think this week at practice, we had a pretty good week at practice with the chemistry of the offensive line and Jesse (Davis) and Shaq (Calhoun) – they’ve probably played together in preseason or OTAs or something like that. (Michael) Deiter and ‘J-Webb’ (J’Marcus Webb) – I think they did pretty well on the left side. Sticking me in the middle – like I said last week – I’m just trying to help this team win and do the things necessary to help this team win. We’re getting closer and closer and closer, but we’re doing something that’s not good enough still and we’ve got to figure that out and figure out how in the offensive line room we can set this team and push that boulder over the hill and get that first W.”

(And for you back at your old familiar spot, how nice and comfortable did it feel?) – “We miss Danny (Kilgore). Danny is the captain of this football team. Danny is the captain of the offensive line. He’s the old guy in the room and we definitely miss Danny and his leadership out there. It was nice being back, but ultimately we miss Danny and we want Danny back as fast as possible.”

(Considering how many of the starters are guys who got here just a couple days before the season started, is the progression like you guys are having, do you feel like that’s pretty natural just as you get comfortable not just with the five but with the seven or eight or however many guys?) – “It’s not only the new guys, but it’s the guys that have been here before like Jesse (Davis), like (Michael) Deiter, like Shaq (Calhoun), like (Isaiah) Prince, Danny (Kilgore) and Chris (Reed). ‘Guge’ (Offensive Line Coach Dave DeGuglielmo) got these guys, what, three weeks left in training camp? They’re trying to learn a brand new technique, scheme that ‘Guge’ teaches that’s not ‘normal’ – that’s not what the norm was here, what they were used to and stuff like that. I think everybody is getting more comfortable with it and buying into it more and more and more. I think it’s just starting to show that we’re getting more comfortable and more confident in the technique that he’s teaching, plus also with each other.”
