- We really did not have a backup for him last year.
What if there were a serious injury to Biadasz ?
- Williams had been tried at center with OL coach Philibin, and that collapsed.
Philibin was reluctant to try McGovern at center, until it was more forced.
Matt Farniok was a rookie who barely even played center at Nebraska.
- And i'm not sure we have serious competition vs Biadasz right now.
We've brought in two undrafted rookies in Lindstrom, Emery,.. but there must be a reason why they went undrafted.
- But he may be a center comparable to Eagles Pro Bowl center Jason Kelcie, a finesse type that relies more heavily
on keen positioning, off ball quickness, and ability to get to 2nd level, a giant knack and high IQ for the position.
- Biadasz may not be a big strength guy .But it's important that he has play strength. Functional strength.
Some guys can bench press the world, but cannot translate it to the playing field.
- You have to have a center than can more than hold his own vs 3-4 NT, and you want him reacting and adjusting well
and quickly to stunt games up front.
- Hopefully he's improved those wild, high shotgun snaps, .and he's not falling off blocks in run game, and he's not
getting out of position on single block pass rushes.
