I see his backup in Trey Hoskins being a better fit as he played very well last season when price was injured.I see Price getting banged up during the season and someone will be replacing him.Does anyone know the names of all the backups for the entire O-line and are they good enough to come in and hold up and to me we go as far as the line will allow Dalton to play and he likes to bale out as soon as he feels the pressure of the line not holding up.We shall see how it goes.Regardless, I am looking forward to seeing a ZT offense in action.who-dey :andy:
Let's look at your statement in depth....You state that Price will not be good because he is too short to pay the position. So let's examine the top centers in the game today. So the height, weight, and arm length of Price will be out benchmark..
Billy Price - height - 6'3"
weight - 305
arm length - 32"
wingspan - 75 2/8"
And now the top ranked centers in the game today:
Travis Frederick height - 6'4"
weight - 312
arm length - 33"
Alex Mack height - 6'4"
weight - 311
arm length - 33"
Rodney Hudson height - 6'2"
weight - 299
arm length - 32 1/2"
Maurkice Pouncey height - 6'4"
weight - 304
arm length - 32 1/2"
Jason Kelce height - 6'3"
weight - 280
arm length - 32 1/2"
Weston Richburg height - 6'3"
weight - 298
arm length - 33 3/8"
Ryan Kalil height - 6'2"
weight - 300
So as you can see your metric of him being too short really holds no water. How about maybe that he was a rookie and playing back into shape from a combine injury?
