Williams Ready to Adapt

The one person who may be bent out of shape about the signing of Orlando Pace is Chris Williams, who had to move from left to right tackle in order to make room for Pace. Williams, however, is more excited than put out by the addition of Pace. He said, “I don’t care. I just want to play. You can put me at free safety if you want as long as I’m playing. I’m just excited about getting out there and playing.”

Luckily for Williams, the Bears are unlikely to make the 6-foot-6-inch 312 pounder play free safety any time soon. Williams also recognizes the significance of having Pace. He said, “It affects the whole team. Orlando Pace is a one-of-a-kind player who I watched on film since I was in high school. I’m geeked about it. I’m so excited to have a guy like that here. To have him and a guy like Olin [Kreutz], that puts [13] Pro Bowls in our room.”

Williams struggled in his rookie season last year as he was forced to miss most of the seasons with a back injury that required surgery. He is a likely starter for the 2009 season and fans can see him with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.com.
