00:00What are the challenges playing tackle, then guard,

00:03then back to tackle for yourself individually,

00:05but then also lining up next to, you know,

00:08a different teammate whenever you do move?

00:12Yeah, individually, it's really different.

00:14Just position to position, what are you doing?

00:18You know, it would obviously be hard

00:20going from left to right or doing that as often,

00:22but luckily I'm just one position over.

00:25So, you know, sometimes I'm at two points,

00:29sometimes I'm at three points.

00:31Most of the time, I just got to make sure

00:32my stance is correct or that it works for me,

00:34that I can block in every direction.

00:37And then he said, what was the second question?

00:40Just getting used to the new teammate, right?

00:42So if you're playing guard, now you have somebody

00:44on your other side, but if you're playing tackle,

00:45now you're working maybe closer with a tight end,

00:47that kind of thing.

00:49Yeah, that stuff doesn't affect me.

00:51I mean, you know, we all practice with each other.

00:53We play with each other.

00:54During camp, we, you know, everyone was rotated around.

00:58So we all have different experience

01:00at different positions, which is a good thing.

01:02Where are you going to line up on Sunday?

01:06As of right now, right tackle.

01:08Okay, is that your preference?

01:10That is my preference.

01:12That's what my coaches ask me to play, so that is my preference.
