G/T Robert Hunt

(What’s the progress on the offensive line that you’ve seen so far?) – “It’s progress, man. We are coming in every day and we’re working. We’re working to improve. It’s just the beginning of camp and I think everybody wants to play, everybody wants to be good. I think we are doing a good job right now of progressing.”

(How comfortable are you at right guard? How has the transition gone after ending last year at right tackle?) – “I’ve been training every position since college, which I have stated before. I haven’t played it in a while, but I’m starting to get used to it. I got a couple reps in spring and I’ve been getting some this week so far at guard. It’s going well. I can’t complain.”

(When Offensive Line Coach Lemuel Jeanpierre told you about the move to right guard, I know everything is fluid, but when he told you that would be the plan for now your reaction was what?) – “We never know. It wasn’t until I got here it was like ‘yeah, we are going to play right guard.’ My reaction was just, ‘I want to play.’ I’ll do whatever the team needs me to do because I want to win, of course, and I want to play. Whatever I can do to help this team and play; it could be long snapper it could be whatever.”

(C/G Michael Dieter, who is getting a chance at the center position. What do you view as his strengths? What does he got going for him?) – “Mike is a good guy. He’s a leader. He’s a damn good football player. Physical. Smart. Right now, the center in our offense is a vocal point, a main center piece for us and I think he’s doing a fantastic job. I think he’s doing well.”

(Tell us the personality of Lemuel Jeanpierre, your first-year offensive line coach. What’s he like?) – “’Lem’ is cool. ‘Lem’s’ one of us. Of course, he’s an o-lineman. He played in the league six or seven years. It’s his first year (as offensive line coach). He’s just like us. He helped the rookies last year a ton to become and try to take a second-year leap. He’s a fun guy.”

(Does he have any lines or any phrases he uses?) – “There’s a lot. ‘Lem’ is a habit guy, I don’t have anything funny but he is a habit guy. He preaches on the little things. Take every day day-by-day but try to improve on your habits.”

(What’s something that you are absolutely more in command of at this moment as opposed to last year?) – “I don’t know how to answer that. I’m controlling myself. I think – I feel like I can be good and I need to control that within myself. I think I can play better in any position I play. I think I can improve on a lot of things and I think I’m in control of just trying to improve and trying to get better.”

(What do you like about guard?) – “There’s not really a big difference, it’s football. I can say there’s some heavier bodies in there. There are some fat guys in there (laughter). I don’t know man, its about the same. It’s football.”
