FOXBOROUGH, Mass – The New England Patriots made another change to the offensive line in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. 

Rookie guard Layden Robinson got the start, but instead of playing on the right side, they moved him to the left. And this was not a side he had a lot of experience on. 

"It's a work in progress. There were some positive things. There were also some negative things," Robinson told A to Z Sports. "But overall I feel like I did a solid job today."

"My guys around me helped. It made it easier for me to play left by (them) encouraging me and also just making sure I knew everything that I was doing," He added. "And by them putting the confidence in me to be successful on the field, it helped a lot."

Over the summer, the Patriots had Robinson working on the left side. But they moved him back to the right shortly after and that's where he has remained up until two weeks ago. 

Robinson told A to Z Sports that he began working on the left prior to the Miami game.

"I started getting repetition at it, and I did more and more and more," Robinson explained. "So it's just clicking day by day, and I feel like I'm getting better at it."

But prior to the NFL, his experience on the left side was "very, very little."

Yet, he was willing to do whatever his coaches asked. And his efforts on the field impressed head coach Jerod Mayo. 

"I thought Layden [Robinson] actually went out there and moved some bodies, and his physicality definitely showed up," he stated when asked about the run game's success. 

And for Robinson, he was happy to be able to execute. 

"That's one thing we made a key point this week in practice is we got to move people off the ball, and we got to run people off the ball," he said. "And I feel like that's one of my best strengths… I really pride myself on being a great run blocker, especially coming from a college system where my O-Line coach really loved to run, and he really put effort and time in coaching us in it. It just transferred it to over here. Our coach really loves to run too up here." 

Throughout the Patriots 13 games this season, Robinson has started in seven of them. And he is using every moment, whether it's good or bad, as a learning experience.  

"The progression has been up and down. But that's normally happened. I'm a rookie and I'm just capitalizing on every moment I got. Not going to say there wasn't any down times, but those are times that make you a better player. And I feel like everybody's been through that. So going through that this season has been and continues to be a great lesson for me.

"Just tests your love for the game. That's what it does. Because at the end of the day, you still got to come to work… At the end of the day it's who you do it for, why you do it, and also these guys in the this room, especially your quarterback, your running backs, your offensive linemen, just knowing those guys and knowing their story and seeing them come to work every day, makes you, no matter how you are feeling, want to come to work every day and put your back on the line for those guys."
