I hope for his sake he can get it done, but you have to have your doubts.

hmmm, in painekiller's video (thanks PK) it does explain the center/guards as the quicker lineman (or at least gives that impression). maybe 50 pounds lost would counter the injury but if anything was to be learned from that video it's that he would most likely come back as a tackle for the ZBS. i wonder why they had him taking reps at guard?

The Center and guards are expected to get out in front of the Lbs at the 2nd level.

good video, seen it before but a great reference and thanks again!
i still want to see who ends up as the starting RG. brown obviously starts as the 1st round pick, pitts obviously starts as the elder, myers obviously starts as the only person to run the scheme in a game, and winston obviously starts because he was our best lineman last year. who will it be?!?!
