OL Liam Eichenberg

(What’s the challenge of playing through your injury?) – “It’s all mental. I would say it’s all mental. That’s kind of what it is. I think game day, I feel fine every game day. It doesn’t matter what I’m dealing with, I’m going to be out there trying to help the team win.”

(I know you may not line up necessarily against him, but when Cowboys LB Micah Parsons is brought up in the offensive line rooms in those meetings, what really gets said about him and the way he plays?) – “He’s a great player, plays hard, very physical, has great speed. He’s somebody that we’re focused on. It’s kind of one of those situations that when he lines up over you, you’ve got to understand what’s coming and be on top of your technique and your fundamentals. That’s the biggest thing.”

(Being around DT Christian Wilkins and DT Zach Sieler for a couple of years, obviously you practiced against them a lot in August. Have you seen their pass rush moves improve? What do you think has been key to them putting up sack numbers that are unprecedented for Zach and for Christian?) – “I would say they’re guys who – definitely their pass rush has improved, but I think at the end of the day, they play hard and they play throughout the whole entire play and they play every play. I think a lot of guys kind of to take some plays off occasionally. But I know with those two, whenever they’re lined up over me, they’re going the whole play and some. They have a crazy good work ethic and it’s displayed on the field every Sunday.”

(Does that friendship kind of breed like a friendly competition between the two, almost like who can get there in the backfield first?) – “Yeah, I mean, I think that’s probably the case. I couldn’t really tell you. It seems like the d-line in general kind of competes with each other every single game, every single practice. Those guys are in here on off days working out. Even Raekwon (Davis) is in there working out too so you got the big boy in there. But I think it’s more about how they do everything. It’s just not about Sunday’s. It’s all the little things.”
