OM FIELD: Redskins OL - Tale of the Tape

Oh, so you just go get a better one? Well heck let's go do that at all the positions. I kinda think you're a little baffled about what this thread is all about.

That's what the thread is exactly about.

No, if you had to decide between 2 good centers, it would be better off rotating them or playing one at guard. This isn't about just 2 similiar guys. You have 2 guys at center that's not worth playing - you go get another guy.

What is it that you don't understand with that logic? What has gotten you so baffled?

So you kick Randy Thomas to the bench even though the Center is only as good as the other Center but not as good a guard as Thomas? Most centers are not as good as guards. That doesn't make them bad Centers.

Look, if you have one center that is effective in playing well as another, then their weight and height don't really matter does it.

It only matters if the bigger guy plays better.

If they're the same in talent, usually the bigger guy WILL play bigger. Especially against a 340 pound nose tackle. What is it YOU don't understand?

Who said anything about Randy Thomas?

That's the whole argument here. That's not what is accepted. Why is the smaller center starting in New England?

... and if they play equally effective, one doesn't play better than another - they're equal!

The thread is about should we go BIGGER on the o-line.

Smaller than who? Do you really think they have another center who is just as good but bigger? Who is he?

The thread is about should we go BIGGER on the o-line.

Yes, and that's what the argument is about - whether bigger is better.

Smaller than who? Do you really think they have another center who is just as good but bigger? Who is he?

The point is - bigger is not always better.

Yes, and that's what the argument is about - whether bigger is better.

It's not JUST about whether bigger is better. You don't draft a guy JUST because of size. But if you can get the same skill set, footwork, longarms, quickness, etc. AND the guy is 315 over the guy you have at 288, then yes, I think it's an upgrade.
