No one in the offensive line room has as much familiarity in the scheme — especially more recently — than Strange.
It's knowledge he's used so far with his teammates as well on the practice field and in the meeting rooms.
Barry explained how the veteran has been able to help his fellow lineman as they continue to implement the offensive system to the group.
"He helps communication and does a really good job on the field in terms of how to do it and leading by example in that way in terms of how we want to play, how we want it to look," Barry said about Strange. "There's a lot of plays I can pull up from individual to teach guys across the room like, 'Hey, that's a really good example you can use.'
"There's a lot of good examples that way, and then he has no problem, guys individually want to talk to him about something that we're asking them to do that might be a little bit different, they may not totally understand it," Barry added. "He can give them input."
Strange is more than open to answering his teammates' questions if anything arises, too.
"There's a bunch of older guys in the room, very talented and very smart guys," Strange said. "It's kind of a cool atmosphere, everybody is bouncing off of each other. There's been a couple of things just because I've been with Mike last year."
There's still minicamp and training camp to see how the offensive line shakes out, but Strange has been a mainstay as it stands now.
One thing is for sure, he believes everyone on the team is focused on how much better they can be as a group — a great sight to see as the offseason calendar moves along in June.
"It's good, a very positive environment," Strange said. "I think the most important thing, which shows the most, is that everyone is bought in and genuinely comes into work and works their tail off and gets after it.
"No one really complains and there's not a bunch of that, a bunch of individualism," Strange added. "It's just, 'How can I get better?' You can feel everyone is thinking that."
