Center

by FBuck on Nov 3, 2007 11:40 PM CDT Comment 3 comments

When Dallas Griffin went out I was somewhat surprised that Buck Burnett wasn't inserted at center. Chris Hall is an average-to decent guard, but a below average center. Moving Hall over in my opinion weakens two positions instead of maybe just the one.

Burnett is supposted to be the long term starter at that position so the experience could be beneficial for a team with no championship future this year, and I'm sure he wouldn't have fumbled all the QB exchanges.

Me too

Very surprising. Tanner is a mediocre guard, too. Why not use Burnette (center of 2008, presumably) and keep Hall at left guard?

Is there something wrong with Burnette we don't know about? If not, that was frustrating.

Hasn't Burnette struggled with injuries?

I know he missed some of the pre-season, and his playing time has been spotty at best, despite the praise he received in the Spring. Maybe a good question for "Ask Suzanne". How much time did Allen, Huey and Hix spend on the field?

Another question for those of you who got to watch the game - it seems like a very quiet day for the DE's, at least stats wise. With Robinson connecting for over 400 yards, it's clear they weren't able to get much pressure on him. I thought OSU's O-Line was supposed to be suspect. Where were Houston and Orakpo yesterday?

My boy BI plays three positions (TE, LB, FB) and still has time to sleep with the opposing QB's girlfriend on game day
