G/T Jesse Davis

(The front you’re going to see on Sunday, do you think it’s as good as any you’ll face this year?) – “Yeah. They have a good defensive front. I think every week it’s always the same song and dance when it comes to defensive fronts. I think they are really talented and we’ve got our hands full there.”

(It’s been a journey this season with the offensive line. But having this team in position to basically seal their playoff fate with two wins, how much are you guys talking about being that reliable consistent unit this team needs?) – “I think every week, we always try to figure out how we can be the best we can be. It comes down to daily stuff. It’s like what are we going to focus on today and what we’re going to focus on tomorrow. It’s never going to be, ‘are we going to be the future of this team?’ We just try to be the best we can be every week.”

(Have you seen teams rush you guys differently over the last few weeks than they did earlier in the season?) – “Everybody has their same gameplans. But stuff that pops up every week, whatever got us last week will probably pop up again.”

(I know he plays on the other side of the ball, but today LB Jerome Baker was named AFC Defensive Player of the Month. I’m just curious what it means for the offensive guys to see the defense get a little national shine?) – “Yeah, we’ve got a good defense. He’s a good player. He deserves it.”

(COVID-19 wiped out the entire backup offensive line last week. Is that something that you and other starters talked about, sort of breathing a sigh of relief? Because it’s odd the starters thankfully avoided it but none of the backups did.) – “Yeah, I don’t know how that worked out. It was kind of like every day someone else got it. Luckily the starters didn’t get it, so I’m thankful for that.”

(Not to say that the backups were careless at all. I’m not saying that. But have the starters been especially cautious? Have you noticed anything with you, G/T Austin Jackson, C/G Michael Deiter, G/T Liam Eichenberg, etc. how you’re handling being careful?) – “No, I don’t know. I’m kind of a homebody myself. I don’t know. I can’t speak for the other guys. You never know how you can get it, how you contract it.”
