Center, especially, is one of the more complex positions on the team.Maelstrom787":1xe4z9jw said:toffee":1xe4z9jw said:We could be a LT and a C with Lewis playing G, or a LT and a G with Lewis playing C, away from a rebuilt OL. Heck, we could keep Poccic at C and just bring in a LT.
a. Curhan - Gabe - New Center - Lewis - New LT
b. Curhan - Gabe - Poccic - Lewis - New LT
c. Curban - Gabe - Lewis - New LG - New LT
I like b, ie keep Poccic
Pocic has improved. He's adept at making the right calls up front and continues to improve as a blocker.
I now rate him as one of the better players on the offense and a perfectly acceptable starter. Need a Duane replacement. Starting line is fine.
This is actually only his second year at center as a pro, after excelling there for LSU. I'd be totally comfortable with him starting going forward. I almost don't even see it as a need if Pocic is re-signed.
Russ agrees, film guys agree, PFF is starting to agree too. Pocic is solid.
If only he was at center to begin with.
