I'm hoping that one of the young guys - either McGovern or Biadasz can beat out Looney. While Looney is capable and serviceable, he's also upgradable, and not a guy you want starting for you. He lacks the power to get push in the running game and can be overwhelmed by power as a pass blocker as well.
- while i do want Biadasz to start at center -
if he is fully healthy,..i would prefer Looney at center than McGovern, who in turn i'd prefer at LG.
McGovern still does not have any NFL game experience whatsoever, and that's a big learning curve jump at any position, but with all the celebral
calls that has to be made, McGovern would have to go thru a bigger speed bump learning curve at center than at OG.
-Biadasz who is a natural center who was prolific at that position on a collegiate level. He doesnt; have to learn how to play center, he's
already excellent at it, and can better off hit the ground running. Ironically i believe Biadasz has never missed a college game
preferring to gut it out with the hip and shoulder issues, which no doubt affected his play to a degree, and so maybe his latter game tape
wasn't as impressive, thus causing his stock to fall in the NFL draft.
- Looney at least has veteran NFL game experience and has seen/experience NFL level stunts, games upfront as well as rapport
with the QB and his fellow linemen. But he can only get you so far and the OL cannot be the best it can be with him at the helm.
He's decent but he has limitations that eventually get exposed. He's functional until you can upgrade and get better.
But given the surroundings and limitations of this summer, i'm preparing myself to see Looney start the season at center.
