Quote:Why do you want a Center? our center was the second best lineman we had this year as a rookiee now he will be getting top notch coaching. he could turn into a top center for the next 10 years. i would try and get a rt or te before a center.


ppl say out o line was turrible(and it was) but the experience level was not at NFL standards. and wanting to replace them with new rookiees and old FAs is not how you establish a good line. Experience by playing together make the line better. with 4 of the 5 lineman having less then 2 yrs experience having them grow and learn together will make them a very good line. if you keep replacing parts that dont get a chance to grow and learn you will become the brownies.

For starters its highly doubtful Stefen Wisniewski will even make it to FA. He's only 25 and has played at an above average level for the majority of his career. The Raiders, just like the Jags, have gobs of money to keep their own players if they so desire. Now with that said he would represent an immediate upgrade at one of the most important positions on the line. He would bring much needed experience in an Greg Olson ran offense and experience with calling protections, which IMO was the O-line's greatest issue. Bowanko could then be allowed to return to the bench and add quality depth backing up both Guard positions, possibly RT, and the Center position. He could eventually replace Beadles down the line as well. A veteran Center would be a welcome sight to a young QB and O-Line.
