As a sophomore, McGovern was moved from guard to the
center position, starting all 13 games. One game there as a junior, didn't play his senior season.
So he played 14 games at center. I think for a backup while not ideal it's sufficient...
For whatever reason, our OL coach Philibin doesn't appear to like seeing McGovern at center, .. his college experience doesn't seem to matter.
Odd how a 7th rd draftee in Matt Farniok (sp) that has only started one lone game at center, can get the 2nd team reps at OTA, before Williams eventually saw more at C when
training camp started, but McGovern was totally out of the picture as a backup C.
Is McGovern too slow out of his stance for Philibin .. Doesn't think the Mac is not athletic enuff ?
McCarthy mentioned that Williams knows all of the OL calls, familiar with QB,.. but OMG, man that is what camps and preseason is for,.. and not just one player.
sorry, i can't help but wonder if matters and roles would've been totally different under ex-OL coach Marc Columbo. ...
