G Josh Sitton

(I know it’s Day 1, but the offensive line, how do you think that room will come together?) – “It’s going to take time. We’ve got some new faces in there, me being one of them. It takes a little bit of time to gel; but I think we’ve got a good group. I’m excited to be in there and I’m excited to get to work with these guys.”

(How much do you think it’s going to help that you guys have been together as a same unit all throughout camp and OTAs?) – “That’s always extremely important. I’ve been part of lines that were together for a really long time. I’ve been part of lines where we had injuries every week. You’ve got to role with whatever happens. Ideally you’d like to get as many reps together as you can. It helps. Every play there is some sort of communication you go through and some sort of footwork that you can work on with the guy next to you. Just learning those little things, they can turn into big things later.”

(T Laremy Tunsil has talked about the help you’ve provided to him. Did you give him any advice about going against DE Robert Quinn day in and day out? That guy is kind of a beast out there.) – “Yes, he’s a good football player. I had my shot at left tackle one game and I didn’t do so well, so I’m not going to give him too much advice about blocking those guys off the edge. (laughter) I’ve got a little advice here and there.”

(What is the advice you give him broadly, about playing football?) – ”There’s so many things. As a young player, you’re so dialed in on yourself that you don’t look at the big picture, the whole play, the whole defense. You can start looking at where the defense is lining up, where their eyes are, where their hands are … Little things like that you talk about day in and day out. As you play longer and longer in this league, you start learning those things.”

(You’ve been through a lot of training camps. Do you feel a little different, a little excitement, because this is your first one with a new team?) – “It feels a little bit hotter. (laughter) But yes, it’s always exciting. It’s always exciting to get out here and work with the guys. There’s a lot of excitement within this building. We feel like we can be a good football team. We’re just trying to come out here every day and get better and see where we can go.”

(You’ve mentioned the heat already a couple of times. How tough is it to concentrate in this heat?) – “Concentration is not the problem. It’s catching my breath.”

(Does that have you reconsidering the hair and the beard?) – “Yes, we’ll see how it goes. (laughter) It might be gone.”

(Have you been part of a team before that maybe came into the season with not great expectations but totally exceeded and showed people wrong?) – “I don’t know. None of that really matters. All that matters is what we’re doing every day and come out here working and what we say to each other. Nothing else really matters.”

(Does each camp have a different feel each year or is it just training camp and that’s it?) – “There’s always something different that kind of goes on every year – some new groove or whatever. I mean it’s training camp. It’s a bunch of new faces but it’s all the same thing. It’s all football, pass protection, run blocking. It’s all the same thing; but like I said it’s exciting to get out here with the guys.”

(Can you play your protections in a way that with QB Ryan Tannehill’s knee that you try not to go that certain way or do you just play wide open?) – “I don’t think about that.”
