“I really have grasped the position,” Cosmi said. “I really feel comfortable at the position right now. I could be [interchangeable] between guard and tackle if they need me to.”
At tackle, Cosmi was used to having more space going against defensive ends. Things happen more quickly at guard, though. “It’s like constant boom,” Cosmi said, and it’s “a brawl” trying to handle his assignments. So, he spent the offseason working on his hand speed and physicality. He also made adjustments to his stance, which had to be narrower to accommodate for the position change.
Cosmi has played tackle for most of his playing career, and he excelled at the position.
