Quinnen Williams on Jets upcoming joint practice with Commanders: 'Iron sharpens iron' | SNY

Tyler Conklin Yeah, man, I think first of all, it's a good opportunity after you know a long time just going against each other and seeing the same faces and playing against your teammates every day to go and work a crash against, you know, different scheme different people. So I think it's really good opportunity for us as a group all offensively just you know come together and just keep building and what we've been doing throughout the first two weeks you can you can you saw Xavier Gibson last year kind of the training camp feel-good story makes the rosters you undrafted guy. But what can he add to this offense this year kind of as a fully acclimated slot receiver and and how have you may be seen that throughout the offseason and now she's coming back from from the hamstring injury. Yeah. I mean is it just he just does things the right way is a good is a good kid good man. I should say I mean every time he's out there. He just makes plays right. So after you know your first year rookie year in the league, this is a lot of learning a lot of you know, figure out yourself figuring out how things do and how things work and I think he has a really good opportunity to come and take a huge second huge jump onto a second year. Now that the offensive line has kind of started to come together as far as Morgan and and everyone coming back. How important is this next stretch with everybody in tact that upfront to kind of just get a glimpse at you know, another scheme kind of Russian at you and all of that. Yeah. I mean, like I said with a joint practices it is a good opportunity just to see something different right you get so used to just doing what your defense does and how it's not how it works throughout the season so it'll be good for not. Stolen, but that's us as a group just to you know, get different looks handle different blitzes and different things like that that our defense doesn't give us so, you know, I think it's going to be really important. You don't see these next couple joint practices starting with Washington and throughout the preseason to just keep building chemistry. Tyler what's it like as a player at this point in Camp, you know, for those of us who have never gone through this at this point like two weeks in like how do you feel as a player like what I know? Like there's anticipation the first preseason game and all that. But but what what does it feel like for you? Yeah, I mean obviously It's a Grind right, you know, you start getting to the into the you know, what 12 13 Howard Howard many practices in and I mean, it's a dog days a little bit but that's kind of the beauty of can its kind of went as As a group when things start kind of everybody's tired and you don't want to be out there practicing or whatnot. That's kind of, you know, when you come together as a team and as a group and really start building those bonds and you're going to go kind of going through those hard dog days together. So obviously it sucks a little bit just you know, you start getting a little more sore. And like I said you're tired, but I also think it's you know, the beauty of it is you really kind of come together as a team to kind of get to those dog days and also really kind of find out a lot about yourself. elf Who keeps you focused or how do you keep focused like through those those days I mean like we're standing on the sidelines and he just died like try like let's get through the day. How do you keep your focus as a player? Yeah, it's been hot. I think higher than normal. The humidity has been bad, but You know, I think I think for me and I was four and I says a group is kind of just you know, right foot Left Foot Right. Just one play at a time when they were going to be out there Paxton no matter what so there's no point to you know, sit out there and mope about her ever going to be there practicing. We're all doing something. We love some not just something we love is something we get paid well to do, you know, so I think it's just, you know, next play mentality right foot left foot. I think that's kind of what we do. Well as a team right now, Quinnen Williams oh the first thing I'm looking Were to dividual I'm just execute man just be dominant. It's acute to a high level. I know last year. We didn't execute like I wanted to or like we wanted to and the consistent level and just continue to execute a super high level on a consistent basis and just work with each other when it come down to the games when they come down to the pass rush when it comes down to the Run game or different things like that. So they had to be consistent and to execute at a high level is the first thing and the second thing is going to gets a different team and they got major football. Layers on the other side. You got a great rookie quarterback coming in. You got two great receivers over there got a great Alabama running back man over there. So I'm going to guess those great football players on another team is going to be unbelievable Challenge and unbelievable opportunity to for iron sharpens iron. So I quit and there's been a few with some of these joint practices from some fights and whatnot. Obviously, you probably saw the Giants of lions late today as a veteran. How do you kind of handle that thing at that element of it? And You know, maybe try to keep your teammates from getting sucked into that kind of stuff. I think the biggest thing is just keep the main thing the main thing I'm just going to get hot outside doing during practice measures going to be feisty out that you're going to get. So another teammate another person another opposition thinking like that. But on the main thing the main thing you threw a punch in the game and you add the game, so we try to go into we me CJ sauce and Jermaine all of the Quincy and all of the leaders like that. We just bring to the defense as we go into every single practice every single day is to treat as a game when it come down. The flags when they come down to execution we come down to be consistent. So join president another day to work that same thing to be the discipline and and to be disciplined also to be execution, especially when it comes down to those activities. What do you feel like you get out of these joint practices, obviously instead of hitting your own teammates on the other side of all, what are the things you get out of these things. What's beneficial are you going to a lot of stuff out of me? Especially when you're going against a great receiving Corps that they have a great running back and a great rookie quarterback that they have especially Washington and itself in a great off of the line that they have going to get to different body frame a different body type a different person a different attributes different things like that different scheme. So to be able to apply what you learn do it throughout to two weeks. We've been in training camp and Supply applied in another team and the game atmosphere aspect is going to be a good thing. So, What have you thought of the the pass rush so far in training camp, I guess from day one until until now and I guess you're used to it or you guys sort of getting closer to what you feel like could be sort of the ceiling for this group. I don't I don't really necessarily things that still nothing. We all got room to grow no matter what what year we in with accolades we have with opportunities. We had in the past saying now, so just to Ali poke it down on the password so far. It's been good, man. You seen guys like William McDonough who's.who's explosive who's a rush who taking another jump this year to have a explosive year on you seen guys, like Michael Clements who known as a power issue bringing out for nails rushes and bringing out the the Jabs white sort of different things like that. And then you see a guy like Ken law who's a was unbelievable Force just work on his passwords game and the different things that he could do it a great level and me myself. I always trying to learn always trying to get better every single day and work. Is John Simpson was unbelievable Garden unbelievable challenge every single day when it comes down to pass rush and getting out the air and so every single day may we try to get better every single day. We try to do the right thing when it comes down to working with each other and also affecting the quarterback so I can't wait to see it on a real actual game day. So they quit it quit and can you just speak about you know, where you feel like your journey has been from you know coming in obviously as a high round pick and and as sending their way you have to the Point where last year you started to really get some serious recognition. What where do you where do you go from here? I think I think I've been doing a great job of just going in a direction of positivity and going in the direction of just learning every single year and doing the things I need to do to get better every single year and I just think I'm going to stay on that same track see on the same level man. Just get better every single you learn from guys outside of this building guys inside of this building coaches anything I can man just to be a sponge every single day to get better. And just to keep us and in every single year and getting better and better. So that's the really the main focus on my journey order to Future journal what I want to do, so
