The bigs are there on the help-side if the guy goes by me, and I'm able to switch to other offensive players.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My thing of not playing offensive tackle is the health issue. I don't want to be that big. That could end up not being good for your health.
Whoever I'm playing against, I go in and try to stop their best scorer and try to get myself going on the offensive end.
On certain plays and situations I feel like I have the advantage. But sometimes I just have to not think about the size of the guy in front of me.
When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.
When you get to play with the big boys, your game improves drastically.
Usually, I can get the job done with guys in scoring position.
I'm just going out there to do my role, the same role - defense first - and then see how the ball turns out on the offensive end.
Offensive linemen don't get looked at. Nobody is paying attention to the offensive line. But me? I'm getting watched for everything. I know what type of player I am. Everybody else that I know knows what type of player I am.
I think my versatility is a big strength. I don't think anybody can guard me, just because I'm 6'10 and can dribble and play point. If I have a little guy on me, I take him to the post. For me to be able to then pass the ball, it helps me a lot.
I'm a big guy, but I play with a guard mentality. I got that from my dad, and it's always stayed with me.
