OL Liam Eichenberg

(On returning from injury) – “(It was a) brutal situation, but I’m back now. I feel a lot better. I’m still working back, getting in the groove of things. But I’m just happy to be back and help the team.”

(Obviously it’s been a competition with T Isaiah Wynn. We’re not going to ask you how that resolved itself, but I would ask you are you pleased with what you’ve put on tape this training camp? Are you pleased with what you gave which Offensive Line Coach Butch Barry and Offensive Coordinator Frank Smith and Head Coach Mike McDaniel to think about?) – “I think I gave them a lot of film of me playing different positions, doing the techniques that they want me to do. That was the biggest thing that they wanted me to do was doing what I was coached to do and not falling back on stuff in college. So obviously there’s a lot to improve on and that’s stuff I’m still working on, but kind of being out took away from that time, which wasn’t ideal. But I’m back now so I’m back to work and improving on everything.”

(How’s the snapping gone?) – “Yeah, the snapping is fine. Center is good. It’s actually not too bad.”

(Have you played it in a game before or was May and June OTAs the first time?) – “That was it. That was my first time snapping the ball, and I kind of ran with it.”

(How much do you feel like the rib injury, which is what it was designated as, set you back in training camp?) – “Yeah, I mean it definitely set me back big time. There was a point where I couldn’t breathe without it hurting. It’s kind of one of those situations where I did everything I could but obviously I just needed time to heal and rest up.”

(What’s your overall outlook now going into year three?) – “Just keep improving, keep working, do whatever they need me to do and helping this team win. That’s the biggest thing.”

(When did you feel like you suffered the rib injury?) – “It was the first play of the Atlanta game. I was on the bottom of pile and it kind of collapsed on my side and I was trying to push the guy off, it just kind of pressed down and I couldn’t do anything about it.”

(Did you try to play through for a little bit?) – “Yeah, I played the first quarter.”
