OL Isaiah Wynn

(So I saw you got about half the reps at right guard – 51/49 split I saw with OL Liam Eichenberg – how did they go for you?) – “It went good. It definitely felt good being back out there with the team, being able to help contribute in any way, shape or form I can.”

(How did the idea of rotating come about? Have you ever been part of something like that and how comfortable would you feel now seeing maybe a full game’s worth of reps if called upon?) – “It was discussed earlier in the week so that was kind of the game plan that was discussed, so we just went out there and executed it. As far as how I feel coming back and all that, I feel great. So either way it goes, I’ll be ready whenever my name is called.”

(I just wanted to ask you, I believe you had a key block on that 50-yard run from RB De’Von Achane. I guess what did you see and just how good as an offensive lineman does it feel when you get a key block and one of your guys just breaks off for a 50-piece?) – “Any time we execute our blocks the way it’s supposed to be, that’s a great feeling. So being able to give our backs or whoever has the ball space and opportunity, that’s all they need. It’s not like they need a lot because of how talented they are, but definitely, it was a good feeling to seal that off on my side or wherever it was. But as a cohesive unit, everybody executed their block perfectly on that play for sure.”

(I’m doing something on Pro Bowl voting and Top 100 voting. You guys just recently voted for Pro Bowl I don’t know if you voted for Top 100, but I’m wondering the process – do you think players are comfortable making these decisions? Like are players aware enough of what’s going on around the league because I know you’re kind of tunnel vision. Are you comfortable in the voting process? Do you need help? How do you do it?) – “You see all the guys who perform well. Whether that’s it being broadcasted on the sports stations or whether it’s game film that you’re watching because when you break down film, you want two teams, two different teams. So that person you may be voting on may not be included in the team that you’re game planning for, but you do get to see that person. So that’s kind of how I go about it – what I’ve seen and what I think.”

(And here’s another weird question. Do players know everybody’s name because I know y’all know guys by number right? No. 95, No. 92 – do you know enough names do you think to make the Pro Bowl and Top 100 votes?) – “That goes back to my first answer. Once you see that guy on film, you may be like, ‘oh, that’s No. 95’ but then as you watch the film, you see No. 95, No. 95 some more; you’re like, ‘oh, I’ve got to know who he is.’ And then you find out his name through there, so I guess you kind of find out the name along with the number for sure.”

(I wanted to ask you from an offensive line perspective, what have you seen from the youngster LB Chop Robinson?) – “His progression has been crazy. Just to see where he started from when he came in, just to see him refining and honing on his skills. It’s scary. It’s scary to see how high his ceiling is so definitely looking forward to how he progresses throughout the rest of the season as well as following his career.”

(Two games left. Do you view this as an opportunity to kind of show the club that you should be resigned next year and kind of be in the mix for Dolphins starter?) – “I kind of don’t think too far ahead. We’ve got two games so really just one game and that’s this week. So that’s all I’m focused on and as I mentioned before, just trying to take advantage of any opportunity that I get to step out there on the field. Not too concerned about what the future holds.”

(I actually have a two-parter for you. The first one is I know you played pretty much every position across the offensive line since you got to the league, but this is the first time we saw you play at right guard in this system. I was curious how that transition was for you going from left side to right side?) – “It was a little bit of a transition, but only thing that changes is just the side of the line you’re on. So once I kind of got back in the swing of things, it was an easier transition once I got back in the swing of things.”

(And my follow-up is, initial impressions of playing alongside OL Aaron Brewer? He is some kind of athlete. I’m curious how that helps you do your job?) – “Oh man, ‘AB’ (Aaron Brewer) is a freak athlete. He gets the job done. He’s one of the guys who you can just ask him to do anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if they asked him to go catch a ball or run a route, but that’s ‘AB’ and then outside of that, he’s very intellectual. Very smart, very knowledgeable on offensive line play and defense-wise, so it’s a joy playing next to him. He’s one of the guys who you want to play next to and who you want to play for.”
