Commander LT Laremy Tunsil hopes to share his experience with the team of being consistent following a good season.
“Just somebody who’s seen it all,” Tunsil said, via NY Times. “You want to pick my brain. You know what I’ve been through, know what I’ve seen. You can ask me questions. A guy with experience, that’s how I’d put it. I done seen it all. I’ve been in the position they was last year. Going into the second season with the Texans (in 2020), the second season of us winning. And it didn’t go as planned (a 4-12 season, after going 10-6 the year before). I’m coming into here like, ‘Yo, I don’t want to repeat that cycle. We need to do something different. We need to have that sense of urgency. We need to be consistent. We have to be on the little details,’ because in Houston, I felt like we lacked that a little bit. … We had a good team. But I think we kind of got the big head.”
After Washington traded for Tunsil, they moved OL Brandon Coleman inside to guard.
“To me, it’s surreal to be able to play next to someone that I idolized in college,” Coleman said. “You know, that’s someone that I tried to mold my game after when it comes to specific aspects of my tackle game,” he continued. “So now, being able to learn from him how to, like, adjust my game at guard — like, what does he need? What is he seeing? And then just the experience he brings. I went out to Auburn, where he trains out with his coach (Dom Studzinski, Auburn’s head strength and conditioning director), and worked out with him for a week. Just because that’s like important for me and for him to like, jell, to be able to build that relationship just as much as we can.”
Tunsil and Coleman have been training together in the offseason.
“I was just kind of showing (Coleman), this is my offseason schedule,” Tunsil said. “This is my program. I want you to see how I work, and then kind of build whatever you want for yourself in the offseason. He told me something that made my heart feel a little warm. He was like, ‘Man, I’m coming back to train with you.’ That’s really what I wanted him to do. I feel like our communication is getting better each and every day. I just kind of take it one day at a time. That was one of the main reasons I brought him to Alabama: I’m going to be playing next to you, but let’s get to know each other.”
When appearing on the Pat McAfee Show, former Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy was asked about his thoughts on Dak Prescott coming off his season-ending injury. McCarthy feels Prescott’s top goal needs to be staying healthy.
