When you just focus on one position, you're able to get a lot deeper into your comfort zone.

It's a totally different set and it's taken me a while to while to get out there and really think like a guard and not a tackle.

That's the first time I've ever gone against him as an opponent and it was something.

The thing that's really helped me is going up against (rookie first-round pick) Mike Patterson every day in practice, ... He's got the ability to take advantage of every one of my mistakes and that's great. That means we're both getting better.

The toughest thing for us to do is get back to the Super Bowl. But if we get there, this time I think we're going to have the edge it takes to win.

I was the No. 1 guy cheering for Todd.

Last year and before Todd (was promoted), I would stay after practice with Juan and just work on my sets at left tackle, just in case. I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Anytime he had a question, I helped out as quick as I could. That dude can play football. Had to make sure he stayed there.
