(On the opportunity to have live reps against another team in preseason)
"Oh, it was great – this is real football. You get to be in the stadium with the fans – you can practice all you want, but getting out there and doing real, live reps is what's most important. So, it was fun to be out there."
(On potentially stepping into the starting left tackle role to begin the season)
"I feel good. My entire career [has been] at swing tackle – you got to be ready to start when your number is called. I prepare like I am going to be the starter, so when my number is called, I'll be ready to go. So, I feel good right now."
(On his relationship with left tackle Tristian Wirfs)
"Tristian [Wirfs] is the leader of the room – he's one of the best, if not the best, [offensive] tackle in the NFL. Him being out there at practice every day – not just helping me, but he's helping everybody on the offensive line. It's been great having him."
