For the most part, just about any Tackle can be kicked down to Guard, and they'll be just fine. The same just isn't true of the Center position.
This team has been lacking serious quality at the C position since Richie Braham was here. That was what, like 10 years ago? For a brief moment, we thought we had an up and comer in Kyle Cook. But once again it was proven that it's much tougher to be The Man, than it is to be the man off the bench.
Every year, we watch teams draft a top Center, or sign a top quality Center in free agency, and then like magic whatever was causing their offensive line woes seems to have been cured. Strange coincidence, isn't it?
Very strange isn't it? It's the world that's wrong, and Son of Paul is right.
It's no coincidence that for a brief moment in time, we had an offensive juggernaut....with Richie Braham anchoring the oline.
