C/G Kraig Urbik

(Today you had an opportunity to get more reps at guard. How did that go? How has that gone for you?) – “It’s good. The whole camp, we’ve been rotating at everything. Every day I take (reps at) both guard spots and center. We’ve been rotating a lot. (Offensive Line Coach/Run Game Coordinator Chris Foerster) is getting us ready for everything. That’s kind of the main thing if you’re going to be a backup is you have to know every spot. You can’t just be on one spot; but Coach (Foerster) is doing a good job of rotating us and I think we’ve been doing a good job so far.”

(Is this a different position than you were in last year because you were as a starter at both positions, correct? Or practicing at both positions?) – “Well, most of the year I was backing up all three spots in the middle, along with (Anthony) Steen. I started a couple of games at left guard last year. I got some other action at right guard, center and stuff like that. It’s one of those things that you just have to get in there and get after it.”

(How do you prepare yourself for the possibility that an injury could happen at any time and you could be a starter at any time? Just that philosophy…) – “I mean at any given point in the season, someone could go down with an injury and you’re the starter for the rest of the year, so you prepare that way. You have to prepare every week, every game like you’re going to be the starter. They could go in the first play of the game, get hurt and you’re in for the rest of the season. So if you’re not prepared for that, you’re not doing your job. You have to go in every week, every year like I’m preparing to start every year. That’s how I go about it.”

(If QB Matt Moore has to play a bunch, how do you guys feel about Matt Moore?) – “Great. Matt has been around for a long time. He’s a good player. He’s played a lot of good plays and stuff like that so we’re very comfortable with him.”
