Can't keep them all and the Cards were looking for a center.

doesn’t have its own thread but is being discussed in the NFL forum thread

Bobby Wagner's contract with the Commander is for a max of $8.5 million, with $6 million guaranteed. Too much for us, I'm glad we're not the only ones who overpay.

I wasn’t as down on his season here as some have been but I would really like to see our interior offensive line solidified. So far I’m not seeing it but the staff is new and I don’t expect all the holes to be fixed day 1

I thought Brown was ass period.
He would get blown off the line into the backfield too much
for my liking.

Brown's a great backup, who was paid as a backup, but who was asked to start. So sure, he didn't play great last year - but that's as much on our front office as anyone.

Brown played better the year before with the Lions (?), I often wonder if it was our coaching.

Our blocking system has made a lot of players look pedestrian or worse, look at the guys we had here that left and became highly productive and starters on other teams.

Brown wasn't a true center. Most of his playing experience prior to our signing him was as a guard. He never won a starting position outright, bounced between a slew of teams, on and off practice squads, never catching on with any of them.

I don't think Olu is going to be the answer. He struggles with big DT's, doesn't get a good push. In fact, PFF rated him rated as the worst run blocking center in the league.
