On Kreutz's right, seventh-round rookie Lance Louis will start the season at guard. This year, Frank Omiyale gets to move back to his more natural position of right tackle, which hopefully means an improved performance on the field. Most importantly, third year man Chris Williams will play out the season at left tackle at seeing time at right during most of last season. He moved to the left side down the stretch after Orlando Pace's was proclaimed irredeemable. Williams is going to get more help on the outside than he did during the preseason, but a franchise left tackle needs to be able to play on an island occasionally against the defense's best pass-rusher. This year we get to see if he can do it.

He’s a versatile talent, evidenced by his last season in Carolina, where he was used all over the Panthers’ offensive line. He comes into Chicago expected to start at a guard spot (probably on the right side), leaving last year’s first round pick Chris Williams at left tackle. I’ll quickly run through the news regarding Chicago and their molasses-like talent search.
