| 0:00.0 | Offensive side of wall. |
| 0:04.0 | Austin Echler is obviously the headline grabber, |
| 0:08.0 | but I think more importantly, they have now depth on the offensive line. They got a center, they got a guard. |
| 0:16.2 | Allegretti is from Kansas City, of course, Nick Allegretti started in the Super Bowl. |
| 0:20.8 | He is, or was the backup there to Joe Tuni who missed the |
| 0:24.2 | AFC championship game and the Super Bowl Allegretti finished the Super Bowl with a |
| 0:29.0 | torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow so we'll have to see obviously if he's even going to be ready for training camp. |
| 0:34.5 | I would be stunned if he's ready for the off season based up what those timelines usually are, |
| 0:39.7 | but presuming he gets back to full health, who is he as a player and is he definitely |
| 0:44.7 | the starting left guard? |
| 0:46.0 | Yeah, for me, just looking at the contract |

| 1:13.9 | starting left guard if he so if it's not that serious or he's able to play |
| 1:20.0 | through it or or whatever you know, then maybe they do see them as their starting left guard. |
| 1:26.5 | But for me, the contract is quite similar to the one that Rivera gave Wes Schweitzer a few years ago to kind of be the backup |
| 1:36.4 | swing guard that could fill in at a couple of different spots and obviously filled in at |
| 1:41.3 | center and left guard and right garden and end up becoming a starter but I would guess there's an interview with him going around I think he did an interview with NFL network or something the other day where he said he's looking for an opportunity |
| 1:54.6 | to be a starter so I would guess the reason he signed is to have a chance to start but the contract |
| 2:02.0 | certainly doesn't say he's definitely locked in as the |
