Depth at Center

Postby thesteelhammer » Wed Jun 17, 2009 7:55 pm

I'm not loving our depth on the oline.

The Atlanta Falcons have announced they have released C Alex Stepanovich, a former buckeye.

He may not be the answer to all our problems but he is an experienced vet that could at least compete for a spot on our line.

thoughts or other ideas to improve depth?

Plug the new fat kid in at RG and you have Stapleton as a backup. Does Capizzi snap?

Legursky was a rock solid center in college (but will probably be a backup guard) and now we have Shipley. I think we'll be fine here. I'm more concerned about depth at tackle, especially on Ben's blind side. What happens if Starks goes down?

Put Dixon in until Starks comes back.

yes, we have no depth at this position. Shipley would get steamrolled by the most pedestrian of NFL nosetackles/d-lineman. Legursky has no experience. If Hartwig goes down, we are skeeeeerued.
