How would you describe your first game at right tackle? Oh, yeah, I mean it was a great experience. Obviously never played out right tackle before an actual game. So I feel really good. Just getting game ropes. You know, it's just going to help me in the long run for my career just being versatile being able to play multiple positions. So it's good. What's the adjustment pin like this week, you know practice moving now. Yeah. I mean like you said it definitely is an adjustment from always playing left tackle to transition. All right tackle and And you know definitely had my fair share of reps that you know, I needed to work on but I think I think I'm in a good spot right now and I just need to continue to get better how many how much the Dule know your teammates during this process to do out the week because I mean obviously Morgan Moses have experienced at that spot. Yeah a lot and thankfully I'm in such a great room where I've got to have guys like apt and Morgan who are just behind me all the time just always giving me advice, you know helping me out with anything I need so it's been a good process never played on the right side. This is all new or different place. No, this is the only what's the biggest difference? I think it's definitely just like a feeling thing. You know, you're always so used to being in a stagger with your left foot back that now when you switch it to the right like at times it can feel like a completely different things. So, you know at times it felt a bit weird, but you know, the more reps you get the better feels eventually food. How do you Keep a balance between this two sides so you don't affect your ability at left tackle. Yeah, I mean, I just try not to think about it too much just because at the end of the day, it's all just football. You know, I'm just switching over to another side of the ball. So for me it's more. So just making sure that I control my controllables, you know getting off the ball on time making sure I'm not laid off the ball making sure I'm in the right positions to make whatever block I need to do comfortable today. Do you feel with that then you did maybe On Monday, we're doing it for the first time. Yeah, definitely a lot more comfortable obviously whole week playing it, you know a lot of reps that I took at right? So now I feel like I'm in a pretty good spot. They say it's like going from writing Lefty to writing with your right hand is yeah. No most definitely most definitely I mean feel like if you don't, you know, watch football too often, it might not seem as big and as big as an adjustment as an actually is but it definitely definitely does feel like you're switching from going left to right.
