**1. How is the position battle at guard treating you?
*"It's been good. It's just a lot of learning for me, learning from these veteran guys. It's just like last year, but I have the plays down now finally. So I'm just working on the little things like technique and what to do when guys show different things."
*2. How is it playing against defensive tackle Frank Okam, your former teammate at Texas?
*"It's fun. We get to talk some smack to each other a little bit. But we make each other better. That's the best thing."
*3. One of Okam's talents is cooking. Can you comment on that?
"He can't grill, though. So if you can't grill, then you aren't a good cook, in my opinion."
{QUOTE}4. How is training camp treating you your second time around?
*"A lot easier. It's not easy, by any means, but it's just my brains are not as stacked full of stuff."
*5. How much football advice do you get from your dad and your uncle, who played in the NFL?
**"We talk around once a week. I get a lot from them. Ever since I've been a kid, I've been getting it. They just tell me little things. The same things as my coaches tell me out here. It's crazy how they all know it."
**6. Which team are you most excited to play this year?
**"Every team, every time I get on the field."
**7. Is there any player that you look forward to facing the most?
**"Casey Hampton (Pittsburgh Steelers). Shaun Rogers (Cleveland Browns). Because they are Texas boys and they are big (dudes) and you hear about them a lot and I want to see what I can do against them."
**8. What's it like working with assistant head coach Alex Gibbs and how's everyone picking up the zone scheme?
**"It's been hard work, but it's been really insightful. I'm learning a lot. I think we are picking up the zone scheme real well. We have a lot of things to iron out, but we are doing real well right now."
**9. Are you concerned about not being able to chop block yet in practice?
**"No, because we have four preseason games to get it going. We'll get it going by then."
**10. What do you think about the upcoming football season for the Longhorns?
**"I think the Longhorns are going to be good. They are good every year. They are going to be solid. They're young. I know Colt (McCoy) is going to have them out there ready and going."
