G/T Robert Hunt

(Have you gone back to right tackle at practice this week? Have you practiced there this week?) – “No. Not at all. No.”

(So you are staying at right guard?) – “Yeah we’re keeping the same lineup right now. We haven’t really worked on anything yet.”

(How tough have the offensive line meetings been this week? Obviously as a group, you all want to play better than you did Sunday.) – “Yeah. Tough outing for us. Like you said, we want to play better. We are all pretty pissed off about the performance we put out Sunday but thank God that we got another chance to try to come out and prove ourselves Thursday.”

(What jumps out at you when you look at the Ravens on film?) – “Big, physical group. Big, physical, tough group. Veterans. Guys that have been playing the game for a while. We’ve got to do our best to get in the film and know the guys we are going against. A lot of gameplan.”

(How did you come away feeling from last game the way you guys run blocked the run game and what can you do to fix that?) – “Of course you want to run the ball better. I think we had a lot of chances to get the run game going. It just didn’t work out in our favor. The only thing we can do is come in and continue to try to work on it and get better. It’s the NFL. Every game is not going to be pretty but we get another chance to try to come out and run the ball again Thursday.”

(Two teams have to go through this every week, I get that, but this week it’s your turn. What’s it like trying to get ready for a game in four days?) – “We knew what it was already. We got us a good win this past weekend and after that, you’ve just got to lock in and know you’ve got a game coming up Thursday and try to get in the film and get on top of the guys you are going against. It’s our job so we got to do what we can do to put ourselves in the best situation.”

(WR Mack Hollins said after the game that your body hurts less after a win. Is there any validity to that?) – “Yeah, that’s right. It’s hard to win. We went down a losing streak for (seven) weeks so yeah, I didn’t care if my body hurt or not. At least we got a win.”

(Who in the offensive line room has helped keep things together and upbeat?) – “I think all of us. We want to be good and we hear all the noise, of course. We just got to stick together, be a tightknit group, because it is five of us playing and us five have to be on the same page. We all know that and we all try to keep each other up and we are keeping each other up. That starts with all of us from our position coach to the older guys in that room. That’s pretty much that on that.”

(You guys have had a lot of, I guess change this year whether it’s through injuries or play. How has that impacted your continuity or cohesion as a group?) – “I guess it’s just a next man up mentality I guess in the league. We got to be ready no matter who’s playing. Whoever is playing where, no matter what position it is, anybody can go anywhere. We just got to be ready to play. We got to be ready to try to compete and try to win. We got to be on the same page.”

(The Dolphins have the national stage, the prime time audience, the only game, and that really hasn’t been discussed this week. Is that something that appeals to you? What do you like about that?) – “It’s the only game on Thursday you know what I mean, so that’s exciting. I think that will be my first game on Thursday Night Football, so I’m pretty excited about it. I’m sure the whole team is, so it’ll be fun.”

(Is it different playing at night here in Miami than playing than playing at 1 p.m.? I guess for you guys, you can feel it with the heat and all of that.) – “Yeah, it is. Yeah, it definitely is. I only played once and that was the Atlanta game. But yeah, there definitely is a difference. It goes from 90 to maybe 80 so that’s good. (laughter)”

(I got something positive. Home teams have historically had success on short weeks on the Thursday night game.) – “I get that. I can see that. We’re coming in, preparing and hopefully we can keep that going.”
