Louisiana vs Indianapolis: Linebacker Tommy Wellbrock-Busse

Houma, La. – Interviewer Jenny Talya: Tommy, congratulations on your performance during the preseason game against the Indianapolis Ramblers. As a rookie, you had the opportunity to contribute on special teams and even in some nickel-and-dime packages. How do you feel about your overall performance during the game?

Tommy Wellbrock-Busse: Thank you, I appreciate it. Overall, I think my performance was solid, but there’s always room for improvement. As a rookie, getting the chance to step on the field and contribute in both special teams and defensive packages was an amazing experience. I felt like I adapted well to the speed of the game, but there are definitely areas where I can grow and make an even bigger impact.

Interviewer Jenny Talya: You made a couple of tackles on special teams, which is a crucial aspect of the game. How do you approach your role on special teams, and how do you plan to continue making an impact in that area?

As a linebacker, I see my role on special teams as an opportunity to showcase my versatility and help the team in any way I can. I take my responsibilities on special teams very seriously and aim to be a difference-maker on every play. I’ll continue to work on my technique, study film, and collaborate with the special teams unit to make even more impactful plays.

It’s a different pace and level of intensity than special teams, and it requires quick decision-making and communication with my teammates. I felt confident in my abilities and trust in the coaching staff’s belief in me. I learned a lot from the more experienced players on the field and tried to soak in as much knowledge as possible. It’s an area I want to continue growing in and contribute more as the season progresses.
