That one area of improvement--being equally effective from the shotgun and from snap will be huge.

We were a bit predictable when Dak was under center...running about 75% of the time. If he can get really good, and real comfortable...it makes this offense more dangerous.

It is nice to see the difference a good center can make

It was rough seeing Romo go talk to every single offensive lineman before every snap because Gurode had no idea what he was doing.

Travis Frederick is exemplary at being an offensive captain. His adept mind is every bit as valuable as his body. Fred's just a smart cookie. It's interesting hearing Dak comment about how he gets his moxie up, knowing how Fred's recognition gives him comfort. That's good stuff.

Crazy to think how many arm chair GMs thought Travis Frederick was an awful pick. This oline has given the team an identity to be proud of. Theres not much worse than being a finesse team.

I doubt anyone was saying he'll be an all pro every year when he was picked. A lot of people were complaining about only getting a 3rd (when the Niners had 2 second rounders) for him to drop as far down as we did.

I loved his strength and smarts, but was unsure of his mobility when he was considered slow for a centre. But he's been awesome. I'll probably grab his elite jersey this off season since he's signed long term

No one was expecting he would be an all pro player every year, but plenty were happy to call him a crap pick. The moral being, calm down. We dont know what the organization knows. At this point I think we can all relax and trust our draft process.

I liked Rob Petiti!

Side note...why the Gurode hate? He was very good for us when he was moved to C.

Every shotgun snap from Gurode was an adventure.

I actually was in the minority on drafting Fredbeard. Just liked that he was the top center and
was on a strong Wisconsin oline. Now, I never expected he'd be this awesome. Happy to have him here.
