‘”We like versatility, so we’ll move all of our guys around. Rarely do we have a guy that is a one-whole player. Mitch Morse is probably one of the only ones that is going to play center only. Dion Dawkins is going to play left tackle. But the rest of those guys are going to move around and play both guards or guard-tackle, center-guard… We’re going to put the best five out there, the same motto as we had last year. If it’s better with Cody at right guard, he’ll play there. If it’s better with him at right tackle, he’ll play there.”‘

‘”I was explaining in my press conference the other day, it’s such a long process right now. Before we can even physical him, he has to come up here and get at least one negative test on the COVID test. We physical him in another facility, not in our place and then test him again.
