00:00 Center experience and center starts help you become a better guard
00:04 Yeah, I think it allows me to
00:06 Understand like space better I would say
00:10 Give me more confidence in closing space and also
00:13 Just kind of play with my length and keep my hands on the space thing
00:17 I think with center and guard guard a little bit further off the ball, but similar footwork similar hands
00:25 Just time it just a little bit off. I think for me having those reps in center going to the right
00:30 I think it's kind of helped me out Rickards
00:32 You played you've started at every spot except for right guards. Yeah, this is the final one man
00:38 Not don't say the final one, but yeah, I mean
00:42 Where do you feel like you fit I mean, it's just kind of
00:54 Wherever they need me to put yeah, I mean, so I thought I got a lot better as I had was it Center
00:59 You know injuries happened. So I was forced to kick out, you know Connors back, which I'm happy he's back. It's fine. Well, so
01:06 Just kind of take a day by day, you know
01:11 I'm just gonna work as hard as I can and try to be the best player I can and wherever I'm at so
01:16 At the end of the day, I just gotta keep improving and keep believing
01:22 Especially
01:24 It was just kind of figuring out where everybody was gonna be at I mean just kind of I worked some left guard
01:36 Or got back Monday and then started working record public came back Wednesday
01:42 So it's just kind of I think they they like where we're at there. So I'm just gonna keep working at it and continue to prove
01:48 Is that you think the thinking behind it? We didn't talk to butch length about the same thinking because of Leopard
01:54 Lester's comfort and left guard your versatility ability to play right even though you were left last year
01:59 What I wonder what contributes you moving to right this week. Yeah, I mean, I think
02:03 I think I just kind of feel more comfortable on the right side
02:07 Especially playing at center and then you know having those reps moving to the right I just kind of felt stronger
