OL Robert Hunt

(What do you think about the possibility of maybe T Terron Armstead or OL Austin Jackson reincorporating themselves into this offense?) – “It would be exciting to get those guys back but like we’ve been saying, it’s always the next man up mentality. Unfortunately injuries happen in this league and some guys can’t go, and that’s been the case for those two guys and guys have stepped up. I think guys have done a good job stepping up, playing well. So you know that is what it is. If they come back, man we’ll be fired up and if they can’t go because of something that’s going on with their body, we got to understand that and the next one is up.”

(What has kind of been the message from captains on both sides of the ball to you guys, entering the losing streak three in a row. What have they kind of been telling you guys and emphasizing?) – “We don’t really look at it like it’s a losing streak. Of course, we have lost three in a row. But the message is the same. It’s never really been – with this game, you win and you lose. It’s hard to win in this league. We know the margin of error is very slim. So that’s the thing. We know what we’re capable of. We know we have a good team. I think the captains have done a great job reiterating that and I think it’s been good. I think they’ve been going about it the right way.”

(How do you guys kind of get back into – you guys played such good complementary football those first three weeks and then kind of – injuries have played a part obviously. But what have you guys strayed away from and how do you get back to playing complementary football?) – “We just got to come in like we do every week and look at the gameplan, do what we do, get our routine. Just the little things and just be on our little things and our details and we’ll be right back where we want to be. Like I said, I think we got a really good team. I think we all think we got a really good team. It’s just the small things, the little details we got to clean up.”

(What do you think about Steelers Senior Defensive Assistant/Linebackers Coach Brian Flores being on the other side this Sunday?) – “I don’t really know. I mean I’ll say what’s up to him after the game. That’s all I really got for that.”

(You guys have talked about having the next man up mentality and not worrying about who is at quarterback and just going out there and playing, but with QB Tua Tagovailoa possibly being back this weekend, what’s unique about what he brings to the team and how helpful is that going to be?) – “Tua is Tua. Tua is our leader. He’s the guy who has been running the show and we’ll be excited to get him back. But exactly what you said – if not and it’s somebody else back there, we still got to do our job and try to play a game and win a game.”

(Who have been some of the guys that have kind of really been – you mentioned how the captains have kind of been giving you guys a great message. Who have been the guys that have really been talking to you guys the most and emphasizing getting back to your style of football?) – “I can’t point out one specific guy. I think there are a bunch of guys that are on the team that are in leadership roles and not even just leadership roles, but guys that are probably not in leadership roles that still speak up and are vocal. It’s just the same message that I’ve been saying. We know what we got to do is the little details, and we know what we want to do, so we’ve got to go. It’s a bunch of guys. I can’t just name one.”
