T Terron Armstead

(It seemed like pass protection and run blocking were better last week when you returned. How much of a difference can one man make as far as communication and performance easing the burden on everybody?) – “I mean that is all a testament of the work that has been put in, really locking in on our technique, fundamentals and execution. We’re looking to get better every day. It’s definitely not one thing. There’s a ton of things that go into productive line play. And then being able to do it over and over and over, that’s the hard part. “

(How did you do last week? We didn’t hear LB Alex Highsmith’s name a whole lot. How do you think you performed?) – “That’s a really good young player, for sure. High motor. He has a lot of attributes and then he gets to the quarterback at a high level. I think we did a really good job trying to keep him quiet and not disrupting the game. My performance, I feel like I did some things well. I definitely want to continue to improve and get better in the run game and pass pro.”

(Are players putting a lot of attention on DE Aidan Hutchinson because he is a high draft pick? You might face him. What have you seen from him?) – “I mean, you see his draft position. You see why he was he was drafted so high. The talent and abilities jump off the film – athleticism, get off. They got a relentless group. I’m a huge Dan Campbell fan. And he was always one of the coaches for me that I would run through the wall for. And those guys play like that.”

(Can you elaborate on what made you love Dan Campbell?) – “He’s genuine. He’s sincere. You can tell that he cares about his players. He’s passionate about the game. He wouldn’t put anything above his players. Just somebody that you would love to play well for.”

(When Dan Campbell was hired by Detroit, I don’t know if you saw his opening news conference, but he was talking about we’re going to bite you in the knee cap and all of this kind of stuff. Do you have any favorite stories that kind of relate to that kind of attitude?) – “Probably none that I can share on camera. (laughter) Dan is a really intense guy. So in New Orleans, he was the assistant head coach, so sometimes he would run a team meeting. And he just had a unique way of motivating and getting guys ready to play. It could be graphic at times and vulgar, but he knew what he was doing.”

(Dan Campbell was the interim head coach here. But, in New Orleans, could you sense that this was a guy who’s going to be a head coach?) – “Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, he’ll be a head coach for a long time. And Aaron Glenn too. He’ll be a head coach sometime soon. He’s a phenomenal coach. He’s another guy that you really want to play for. So it’d be great to see them guys after the game.”
