OL Liam Eichenberg

(What is this camp like for you now that you know the offense? You know Offensive Line Coach Butch Barry’s approach. How much is this sort of like a redundancy for you?) – “Yeah, I think obviously we’re out here in OTAs, similar structure, similar drills, but honestly for me, I like that. I like the repetitiveness and improving on what I know I have in practice. Get out there, stance and start – every day I’m trying to work on that. I think for us personally, it’s kind of that repetitive nature where even though we’re doing things over and over again, that’s the offensive line position. There’s always something to improve on. It’s great having Butch (Barry) back and I’m lucky to be here. We’re just working to improve every day.”

(Where’s your mindset going into this offseason with basically a new center added. You did a lot of work there. You’re doing a lot of work there now but then those guards spots seem to be vacant?) – “Yeah, I mean as you guys know I’m going to play wherever they need me to play. I’m excited to be out there. I’m excited to be healthy right now. End of the year last year, I was kind of banged up pretty good, so it’s nice being able to run without some pain. I’m at center right now. I’m working to be the best center for this team right now. Obviously when (Aaron) Brewer gets back, I’m going to start working at guard. I got some good work in the first couple weeks of OTAs, so I’m looking forward to getting out there in team and kind of showing what I can do.”

(What position is second nature to you right now?) – “Second nature – I mean honestly, anything on the inside. Haven’t done tackle in a couple years, but getting kicked over center not expecting to the first day, I was like, ‘It’s fine.’ I know the offense; I know how to run the offense. I know how to point everything. Just kind of going to be out there eventually, hopefully at guard, and kind of help (Aaron) Brewer out as he learns this offense, too.”

(How much did work at center help prepare you to go over and move back to other positions like guard?) – “I mean I think, especially coming from outside at tackle and moving into guard, I’d recommend that every player plays some center. I think it kind of opens everything up for you, teaches you how to kind of understand your range on the inside. It’s just a different game. It kind of gets you more comfortable playing inside.”
