Also, I believe Johnson played ~2 games as the starting center last year while Bodine was hurt/benched and Johnson played very well, probably even better than Bodine.
Good point, i getcha, but i thought TJ played better at Guard then Center last year myself.
I even liked TJ Johnson in college but in the Preseason the dude looked terrible. Just saying.
Hopefully he has improved tons cause i doubt Bodine does.
I know Lechler is an UDFA but all he did in college was dominate at LT, we have him on the team.
I would be for Clady or King Dunlap though.

I don;t see them even looking at Mangold at all
Could be right. Just seemed like a Bengals move to me.
Old, washed up player that was great back in the day. Plus he is a local.
Competition is never a bad thing especially in arguably the teams weakest position.
