idk...???
seems they're so much alike physically....
& there job is basicly to block, open holes, & protect the QB.....
seems coaching wouldn't be that much different....
color me, not convinced of a big difference at this point....
as of now.....i'm guessing he's going to be exactly like Bodine....
no difference...
You're right, their measurables are nearly identical and YES their job will be to block, open up holes and protect the QB.
The biggest difference between the two is in the mental game. The Center is the leader of the entire offensive line. Think of the value Jeff Saturday brought to the Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning will be the first to tell you that Saturday made his job 100% easier. Getting the correct blocking assignments is a difficult task. They identify blitzes for the QB so that he knows where to go on the play.
From interviews alone, I can see the massive advantage Price has over Bodine in this department. He is a true leader. Bodine has never struck me as intelligent or a leader. He bumbled along and did his job just well enough to hold his job for a few seasons. That's my opinion at least.
