Yeah, that's the dice roll. I'm sure those people who asked for those centers asked for other players that ended up being trash in the past. You never know!
but it looks like we need to muster the storm before we can get to see it
Same. Stacking the box as well.as someone that could best man coverage. I definitely see the vision. It will just take patience to see it come to fruition.
With that said, no excuse to not hit Oline three times next year. Center is at the top for me because we can solidify the middle real soon with Puni working out so well. I'd love if we could potentially run with either Zakelj-rookie- Puni or rookie- Puni- Zakelj (assuming Zakelj can take another step forward). Purdy could just step up to avoid pressure likely coming from the RT position. I still want a RT drafted, but I think we can get elite talent ready to go in year 1 at IOL whereas right tackle, maybe not so much.
Great pass pro would also be huge for receivers like Pearsall, Aiyuk, and Cowing.
