00:10 So I was playing guard the whole training camp.
00:22 And like that Sunday, I think before we opened up down at Houston,
00:28 I got a call and we just signed Josh sitting from Green Bay.
00:35 And you don't know what to expect.
00:39 And so I picked up the phone and they were like, hey,
00:42 we're gonna move you to center.
00:44 And I had played a little bit of center, I guess, at the senior bowl in practice.
00:48 But that was really kind of my first ever really snapping a ball against
00:54 real live human beings.
00:57 So that was kind of an eye opener and
00:58 then to open the season against Vince Wulford, Hall of Fame guy.
01:03 That was quite the experience.
01:04 So that was kind of my welcome to the NFL, but it ended up working out for me and
01:09 got me to this point where I am today.
01:12 You kind of get a feel for it in practice, I guess, if you will.
01:15 Obviously, there's difference in practice in the games, but
01:17 we got a little bit of a feel for it in the preseason games,
01:21 just a little bit of feel.
01:24 So we'll be excited to get out there on Sunday and get rolling.
01:27 But as we all know, injuries happen in this league and
01:30 that's why it's important to have good depth players like we do.
01:34 So just excited to get out there with this group of five.
01:38 And it's always nice to kind of know.
01:40 But like I said, injuries happen, certain stuff happens, this, this and that.
01:46 So you gotta be prepared.
01:47 And it's nice that we have guys that have that position flexibility that can
01:52 change on a flip of a coin or whatever.
01:55 So kudos to our front office and getting guys in here that are able to do that.
