G/T Robert Hunt

(Your first game at a new spot, albeit one that you’ve played before. How did it feel? Was it a smooth first game for you?) – “It was good. I did some things ok, but there are things I need to improve on, in my opinion. The transition is good. I think I’ll be ok. I just got some stuff to work on. I take that personal and do what I can do to improve on that.”

(In your study, what’s unique about the Bills defense?) – “Just watching them, you see how these guys fly around. You can definitely tell they are a tightknit group. They play together. You can see the effort on tape. We’ve got to make sure we can match the effort.”

(As an offense, when you know the Bills can score and score plenty. Do you guys feel any pressure in needing to fill the scoreboard up yourself and try to keep pace?) – “No, I don’t think so. I think we’ve just got to go out and play our game and try to be better this week than we were last week. That’s all we can do is try to improve. Like Brennan Scarlett just said, one meeting, then a walkthrough, then a practice at a time. We’ll try to do that on game day on Sunday.”

(One of the biggest accomplishment you can give a run game is to be able to get first downs at the end of the game when the opponent knows you’re going to run the football. What did it mean to you guys to be able to pick up a couple of first downs and run out the clock?) – “It meant a lot. We practiced that during the week all last week. It was a big emphasis for us and I think we did a good job putting it on our back, knowing what was at stake and closing out the game.”

(Last year in your rookie season, you didn’t get a chance to play in front of a home crowd that was bigger than limited capacity. Have you given thought to what that might be line in front of a full crowd on Sunday and what the atmosphere might be like?) – “I think it will be fun. Actually playing in New England last week in front of a full crowd, that was different coming from Louisiana-Lafayette. We don’t get crowds like that so that was great to see. And it was fun. I can’t wait to see how we turn out here in Miami.”

(The website that grades offensive linemen, your grades are right tackle were really good the last six weeks of last season. Do you know yet – it might be too early to know – but do you have a feeling yet as to if you’ll be a better NFL right guard or right tackle? Do you think about that ever?) – “No, I don’t. I just want to be a good NFL player in general. Wherever I can play, I want to be good, if that’s the question you’re asking. Yes, I definitely want to be good. I’m working my butt off to be good.”

(We know that T Liam Eichenberg gave his best effort on Sunday but what is it like to have T Austin Jackson back?) – “It’s good. No matter who is out there at any position, I think everybody gives good effort and is going to compete. Austin is doing his thing and Liam is doing his thing. We all rotate in and out, wherever we are. All of us compete but it’s good to see Austin back out and see him. He had a week off so I know he’s excited to be back this week.”

(I know you just learned how to drive recently.) – “It’s been a year, man. I know how to drive. (laughter) Not recently, it’s been a year. (laughter)”

(Do you have road rage yet?) – “That’s a good question. I definitely do sometimes. I catch myself. It’s just the people that don’t use the signal. That pisses everybody off. (laughter) I know that pisses y’all off, so you now how that goes. (laughter)”

(Do you get tentative going on the highway?) – “I used to. Do you know the maps on iPhone? I used avoid highways. I was using back roads. That’s when I first started driving. But now I’m good. I get in the left lane and turn that thing up. (laughter)”

(I’m just thinking if someone had road rage at you and you stopped the car and got out, and they saw how big you were, what do you think their reaction might be?) – “Let me tell you one thing right now. I ain’t getting out of the car for nobody. (laughter) I don’t care how small, big or anything. I’m going to go about my business. I don’t want to get in that business. You won’t see me out of the car. (laughter)”
