Guard/Tackle Laremy Tunsil

(On what the comfort level was at left tackle last night for him) – “I played left tackle in college. It was good, for the most part. I haven’t been out there in a while; I’ve been playing guard. But for the most part it was pretty good.”

(On what are some of the things he thinks he needs to improve on from last night?) – “Hands, sets. There are a lot of things you need to work on. Just looking at the film today, we need to work on a lot of things as a whole. Just get better. That’s what we watch film for, just to improve every day and get better.”

(On how tough it was to go up against the Bengals defensive line) – “They all are good players. We could have come out kind of better. We looked at the film so there’s so much room for improvement. It’s there. We can get it.”

(On if he had to remind himself that he wasn’t playing guard) – “No. I didn’t have to.”

(On how frustrating it was to not be able to extend drives) – “We just have to find a way. We are looking at film. (We have to) find a way to improve. (We have to) find a way to get better and stuff. That’s the only thing we need to do is improve and get better.”

(On when he found out he was going to play left tackle) – “Game day.”

(On if he was excited that he was going to play at left tackle) – “Yes. I was excited playing left tackle.”

(On what the most helpful thing was that T Branden Albert said to him during last week) – “He said “Do your thing. Do your thing youngster.” (laughter). It’s all he had to tell me, to do my thing.”

(On how difficult it is when playing away and waiting for the snap count?) – “It’s pretty difficult but you just have to have that snap count in your head. Like when he puts his head down, a thousand-one, you’ve got to get out of there. It’s something you can work on. There’s studying and just get it down pat.”

(On the defensive linemen pushing them back) – “We’ll get ours. There’s always room for improvement. We’ve got to shoot our hands a little bit earlier. We’ve got to move our feet a little bit more – just the little things. We’re going to get it right.”

(On what part of the mental game can he improve on) – “Just know my assignments – always know my assignment. I (need to) know what to do (and) get better at that. Like I said, it’s just the little things, and when we get that corrected it’s going to be good.”

(On if there’s mixed feelings because he’s at his normal position but would like T Branden Albert in the game) – “No. No mixed feelings at all. No mixed feelings at all.”

(On if he would rather have T Branden Albert in the game) – “Yes. To have a Pro Bowler right there next to you, then you have (Mike) Pouncey right there, it’s always good. It’s always good to have the vet in there to just listen to and work with.”

(On how encouraging is it to have C Mike Pouncey be on the verge of coming back) – “Is he coming back?”

(On Head Coach Adam Gase saying that C Mike Pouncey would begin practicing this week) – “That’s what’s up.”

(On if playing games at guard helped him the other night and how it will help him for his career when he makes the move back to tackle) – “Playing guard, it helps a lot. When you’re in there dealing with big boys more often, but going back to that left tackle spot, you’re dealing with defensive ends. It’s kind of easier…”
