T Terron Armstead

(How does a player like LB Bradley Chubb, a player of his caliber, how does he strengthen the team?) – “A great addition, great addition. I’m a fan of the player. I was just talking about him. You bring in somebody of (Bradley) Chubb’s caliber, only great things. We see him being extremely disruptive (in the) run game and pass game, opening up lanes and opportunities for other guys on the defense, too.”

(How much do you know about RB Jeff Wilson Jr.? I think he’s more of a power runner, but what does that add to your offense?) – “I had watched some of his film after we acquired him – explosive, physical, understands the scheme, he knows the scheme. He comes from the same tree, so I’m definitely excited to get out there and block for him.”

(Are you pretty much set and happy with the routine that you have now with the one practice on Thursdays?) – “No. As much as I can get out there and practice would be great. I wasn’t able to do too much today, so maybe I’ll try to hit the field tomorrow and see if I can get some quality work in.”

(Do you find any difference when you play on Sundays without as much practice as usual?) – “Me personally, I always like to finetune, try to get the timing right, footwork, all those good things, the chemistry with the guys. So I think it’s important.”

(How would you describe your matchup with DE Aidan Hutchinson last week?) – “He’s an explosive player. You can definitely see why he was drafted so high. His size (and) ability, he’s going to be a problem for a long time. He’s going to be a huge problem. His effort – I was impressed. I was impressed.”

(Where are you right now with your happiness with your level of play?) – “I’m just trying to do my job. I just try to do my job. Whatever that play is, do my assignment and go to the next one. Next game. Every week – if you look at the list of pass rushers I’ve blocked this year, I’m just trying to do my job. Never get too high or too low, always room for improvement, trying to get better, all of us across the board. I think we’re getting better in a lot of areas, run game and pass protection – just try to keep that train going. But good plays, bad plays, it happens. I’ve been having good and bad plays my whole career.”

(You guys had offensive linemen step into the fold throughout the last couple of weeks. How do you guys as a unit feel you’ve done and the chemistry that you’ve gained? Or has it taken maybe a little bit of time to get that as guys come in and out of games?) – “It’s a challenge. It’s a challenge. It’s a testament to the guys that have had to come in – it’s hard to prepare for multiple positions. I’ve been fortunate enough to lock in at one spot, and I’m studying one or two guys in pass protection, but it’s hard to be a swing guy and come in cold. It’s got to be an extremely tough situation. Those guys have put in the work and make sure they’ve been ready. Rob Jones, it’s his time now coming in at left guard and he’s ready. He’s excited. I’m ready and excited for him.”

(With the toe, is it basically pain tolerance at this point? Is it something that you think you’re going to have to deal with for the rest of the year?) – “I hope not. I hope it continues to improve. It’s tricky, man. It’s a tricky injury, especially for a bigger guy. It’s been tough. It’s been challenging to deal with, but as long as it’s functional, I’m rolling.”

(These two trades, from the fan and media standpoint, it gives you more attention and higher profile. What do you think that does with your opponents? Are you guys going to be – are they going to circle this game a little bit more now because of the trades?) – “I don’t care. I don’t think anybody in the locker room, we don’t really get into that. We’re just more so focused on our weekly preparation, getting ready to go out and play ball. Anything that goes on – you can circle whoever you want to circle. (laughter) We don’t get into any of that, we just go out and try to win games.”
