Running Back Jay Ajayi

(On the importance C Mike Pouncey is to the team) – “No doubt. Pouncey is one of our best players, I would say, and he has been a Pro Bowler. He’s one of our leaders on the offense. Him not being in there is going to be tough.”

(On whether he has spoken with C Mike Pouncey) – “I haven’t actually seen him today, but I saw he posted something that said he’ll be back and he’s in high spirits, so I’m not too worried about him.”

(On the second and third preseason game) – “It was fun, this second preseason game. I felt like we got to stay out on the field a little bit more, so it was easier to get a rhythm of the game, get a feel for the game. This third game I think – for our unit, the ones and everyone that’s starting in the game – I think it’s going to be important for us to find a rhythm, get a good feel for the game and go into this game as a regular game week. That’s how we’ve been setting up our schedule, so it should be a fun one on Thursday.”

(On the running backs adjusting to tackling in the preseason games) – “That should be what we look forward to in this game. It’s (about) being out there longer, getting to go through the holes and trying to break those tackles and actually getting a feel for that (and) preparing ourselves for the regular season coming up. That’s what this third game is really about is preparing ourselves to take it as a regular season game and get ourselves ready for what’s coming in the future.”

(On the significance of the third preseason game) – “I think this one is going to be a little more important, because I think going into it we know we’re going to be out on the field for a lot longer. I think our mentality is going to be to go into this one with a regular season mentality of a regular season game and seeing what we can accomplish out there with the given time period that we’re out there on the field.”
