Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

[Mahdi]

This is very interesting. Obviously it's only because Hangartner has a day off but I think Gailey really likes Wood's abilities and he probably is toying with the idea of swapping Wood to C and moving Hangartner to G.

Don't get me wrong, I actually am one of the few who really likes Hang at C but with Wood being as strong as he is and Hangartner being a such a mobile player he would fit nicely at G where he played in Carolina.

I kinda want our own Nick Mangold.

I don't like Hang at C at all so I wouldn't mind the move. I just hope he makes a decision and sticks with it- these guys need all the practice they can get at the correct positions.

Jets, Fins and Pats all run a 3-4. Hang is just not physical and strong enough to get push on a 3-4 NT. He also has a hard time keeping the pocket from collapsing without double team help.

Hang is a useful player but is a borderline starter/depth player IMO.

I always thought Levitre-Wood-Butler would have been a better middle, with Hang backing up all 3. Mind you I would have taken Oher......

Thank god

Re: Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

I wonder how Kyle Calloway has been. During the draft they were talking about how he would be better at guard than tackle.

I wonder if he could play guard if Wood starts at center. Calloway is bigger and younger than Hangartner, but can he play?

Re: Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

i completely agree with this thread i wanted wood to place center hear right off the bat...hang is a career back up and should be our backup all day to back up all three line positions

but with our depth i understand this is wishful thinking

I have a feeling Cordaro Howard is favored by Gailey.

Re: Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

Isn't this just a veterans rest day. It says more about our lack of depth at center then anything else really.

Re: Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

Ive been wanting this since he was drafted. I believe 100% that he could be a dominant center. Which is what we could use in our division. Hope he plays at center.

Re: Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

Wood at center makes too much sense. He is the leader of that OL and the center position is usually the position where leadership comes from. I think it is a perfect fit and Wood is/will be a great center.

Re: Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

dont count out sean allen making this team as backup center either

He was the Center for Brohm at Louisville.

This must mean Brohm is soon to be named the starter at QB. I knew it !

Re: Wood Taking First Team Center Reps

i'm just happy that he's back and practicing after that horrific leg injury. taking reps with the first team is a bonus.

We passed on Mangold twice but we did get that Superstar Twitter Whitner and wouldn't be a Bill if he could pass a physical McCargo.

I can't believe it took 12 posts to get to this.
