Skins/Pack Pregame....Wildcard Style

Hmmm....the Matt Jones thing sucks but Morris isnt exactly a deadbeat.
Plus our other Pierre sjowed he cans till play.
I think we will be OK in this respect.
I'm glad Lick-a-tiger is back.
Le Rib wasnt horrible but his snaps were too high.

LeRib had his best week at Center this past week. The coaches are meeting to make a decision between starting Kory L and LeRib. I think its telling that Kory is healthy enough to return but their been no formal announcement of who is starting. Overall, both guys are bad at Center, but LeRib may have been better.

Putting Lichtensteiger in will improve the running game.

I think both of them suck at run blocking in Callahan scheme, but I probably lean Kory as the better. LeRib is the better Pass blocker for sure. Another thing is Rib has been the center during this second half stretch, do we want to eff this up?

Another thing about the center position for the future, Spencer Long. When he was drafted some thought his long term position was center. I think this might be best case scenario going forward next year with Luavao coming back at Guard.

Long will never be Center.

Litch is a really good Center. He knows the offense almost better then Kirk according to other players. He's also one of the best in the game at reaching the second level on run blocking. We are also underestimating the importance of snapping on the right count, and accurately. Which Leribeus has failed to do consistently every week.

It's not a coincidence that the run game dropped off dramatically after Litch got hurt.

Litch will start Sunday if he's 100%

Lauvao was the much bigger impact loss at run blocking than Litch, even though Long has improved overtime this season. Look at the immediate games after Lauvo went out...staggering effect. Really good center? I don't really know about that, I think(hoping) maybe his poor play most of the season may have been a lingering injury. He's a tough guy, hope he can have the impact.

Any reason Long wouldn't be a center? I read of Long's potential at Center from a Keim article when he was drafted.

The immediate effects of the run game happened after Litch got hurt. I will agree that Lauvao is an upgrade over Long at the moment. Litch's ability to get to the second level and combo block has been missed. He played very well till his injury, and tried to play another game with the injured shoulder, but was not effective.

If you would like to breakdown film with me, I can show you the difference and huge effect that Litch's absence has caused, but I can assure you that this week will prove that if he returns like he should.........Unless we decide to spread the ball out again and let Kirk command that offense and throw 40x. Which I think we should be doing anyhow.
