It\u2019s different when you get out there and you\u2019re not used to doing all those things and that\u2019s something that any three, four, five receiver has to play any three, four, five running back, safety, corner, any of them, they all have to contribute because you only have such a little number of guys on gameday. I do think he\u2019s trying, he\u2019s getting better every day and that\u2019s what we ask of him.<\/p>\n<h3>Jermaine Johnson<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ll see how it plays out and what his defensive role is, but I think that what\u2019s really good about this whole entire draft class, they\u2019ve came in and bought into anything we\u2019ve asked them to do and Jermaine specifically, he\u2019s getting better every day. He\u2019s working his butt off and he\u2019ll do anything I ask him and that just shows you a testament of how he works and everything and how he\u2019s blocking out there is from him paying attention in meetings and his willingness to do it is good to see. That\u2019s what a team does and it\u2019s not about a bunch of individuals, it\u2019s about the team.<\/p>\n<h3>Lawrence Cager (does his role change on special teams after moving to TE)<\/h3>\n<p>No, not necessarily, I think it goes back to the same thing I said earlier. Any position that\u2019s a three, four, five guy or whatever it is, they\u2019re going to be asked to play special teams and the guys that have the most value on offense and defense and on special teams combined will be here. That\u2019s how this league goes and Cager has done a nice job, he\u2019s working just like everybody else and his willingness to do it has been good, so I think you know we\u2019ll see how it all shapes out at the end.<\/p>\n<h3>Kicking Competition<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s going really, I think that both of them kicked well. Obviously, they made all their kicks the other night. I have no concerns about either of them kicking out of the back of the endzone at any time. Both of them plenty of leg strength, so it\u2019s going to be really interesting to see how it falls out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brant Boyer spoke to the media on Tuesday and he gave updates on several special teams players.
