Left Alignment: For now, offseason free agent acquisitions Mike Gandy and Bennie Anderson have made up the left side of the offensive line with the first-team offense. Gandy has as played the role of left tackle, while Anderson has fit in as the left guard.
Neither player is surprised they've received early work with the first team.
"I wouldn't say I'm surprised," said Gandy. "I have confidence in my abilities and confidence to play in this league." The coaches have confidence in me so I'm going to try and do the best that I can."
"(Left guard) is the spot that I'm working at and I plan on excelling at it," said Anderson. "It's going to be a lot of hard work but I'm here for it. A lot of hard work and competition is going to make us better as a team and an offense."
Coach Mike Mularkey indicated on Friday that the current line combination was merely the combo used to start minicamp and the coaches will evaluate the film on Tuesday to see if they need to make any adjustments.
"All I can do is do the best that I can and take advantage of the opportunities that come my way," said Gandy. "You can't start to think about all the stuff that could happen, but instead you just focus on the job at hand."
Gandy started 14 games at left tackle for the Chicago Bears in 2003. Anderson started 12 times at right guard for the Baltimore Ravens last season.
