Patrick Omameh comfortable with more time at right tackleMatt Baker, Times Staff WriterThursday, June 11, 2015 2:41pmPatrick_Zpsxqxu6Tw8.JpgPatrick Omameh started all 16 games at right guard for the Bucs last season but continued to work with the first-team offensive line at tackle Thursday. DIRK SHADD | TimesWith right tackle Demar Dotson missing from voluntary OTA workouts, Patrick Omameh has slid over from right guard to tackle to fill the void."It's not something I haven't done before," Omameh said after Thursday's practice. "It's like riding a bike."Omameh has experience as a tackle on both sides of the line. He started his college career at Michigan at both tackle spots before moving to right guard, where he started 41 consecutive games. Omameh also spent some time at tackle in 2013 during his rookie season with the 49ers.  He started all 16 games at right guard for the Bucs last season but continued to work with the first-team offensive line at tackle Thursday. Garrett Gilkey worked as the top right guard.Omameh said he doesn't feel as if the extra time at tackle hurts his development at guard, and offensive line coach George Warhop likes his players to know and understand every other position."Every rep I can take is an opportunity," Omameh said. "Any way I can possibly contribute, I'm happy to do it."Thursday's other first-team offensive linemen: center Evan Smith, left guard Logan Mankins and rookie left tackle Donovan Smith.
