OL Robert Jones

(A full week of practice, how much does that benefit you?) – “It benefits a lot. Just helps me keep building confidence, understanding and knowing the game plan from inside and out. Being able to get all the reps is just getting me ready to go out there and compete.”

(And then the communication, I guess it helps with that also?) – “For sure. Just being able to go with different guys, hearing how they say things, how they see things; it just helps me be ready for when an opportunity comes in the game.”

(And so you’re playing in your hometown, right? So tell me about that. A lot of family and friends going?) – “Yeah, I’ve got a lot of family and friends coming. It’s amazing to be able to go back and play where I grew up at, and get my first start there this year. Just go out there and put on for my city and help the team win.”

(And so it works out perfectly that way?) – “Most definitely.”

(What did you think when you saw Chicago on the schedule? Did you think it might be nice if I get in there and make a mark?) – “No, I just saw it’s another game on the schedule that me and the team have got to go out there and compete and try to win. But I did think, it’d be cool to have my family come out there just to watch me play. Even if I don’t play, just coming out there and see me out there.”

(Coming out cold like you did last week, you guys are always ready, but when you get that call immediately, just the difference between that and being able to prepare all week?) – “Each and every week, we prepare like we’re going to get an opportunity to go in there. Going in cold last week, I was kind of ready, went out there and did my best. But this week going in, knowing that I’ll be starting, taking the majority of the reps, it just gets my head on straighter and helps me really lock in on certain things. Just get ready.”

(Were the penalties a talking point within the locker room? Is that something, the next step, that you guys want to limit penalties?) – “For sure. We always want to limit penalties because the more penalties we get, it hurts us in the long run. But we’ve been focused on that all week, offensively and defensively, so we can go out there and just put our best foot forward.”
