Stephon helps me and Edwin tremendously," the 6-foot-5, 335-pound Burley said. "You can call him any time of night with anything. He's there to help us just like he was with me in college when I was playing behind him. I feel like I'm making progress here, but I'm still trying to grasp Coach technique with the punch. It's different from the punch we used at Maryland. Every opportunity to show a coach what I can do, I grasp it."

That's how the 6-3, 315-pound Williams, who was signed as a center, reacted to [B]his recent move to guard,

Still seems like we have very little backup at center. I think I can honestly say this tidbit is more worrisome to me than any of the other OL development this off-season.

I like this move. I've heard Will Montgomery has looked good at C, and Williams is 3rd behind him on the depth chart. I think Williams could excell at G but it's going to be a work in progess to say the least.

It's good to have guys that can play multiple spots

I hope so. I know that C/G backups are good, so if this is saying that they are comfortable with his ability to play Center, and are expanding his talent than yes, I read too much into it. I saw it as they were giving up on his ability at Center, and was bummed. Hopefully it is the first one.

If you're a backup linemen you have to be able to play either G/T or G/C. Plain and simple. This is good.

It's been reported a few times that Montgomery has looked good in camp & been more vocal in calling out protections. I wonder if there's any chance he wins the starting job?

E. Williams was a guy that many were surprised wasn't drafted. I hope he can make the 53. He's probably too good to put on the practice squad, he'll get snatched up like Crummey did (wasn't he a terp too?).

I dont care if there from a community college, as long as they can play, get them in here. Heyer has been a good find. This is a new twist on Williams, had no clue that he had been working at Guard. Thats cool, I hope he makes the team.

You are right about that bud, especially with this aging line. Every backup better be able to play two positions.

He projected as a 2nd or 3rd round pick before breaking his leg.
