Quote:When I asked why Pouncey was still in the game, I was thinking of his stupid penalty that any smart referee would kick him out for.

 

I am surprised he is playing well as a center. During his last year at Florida, I thought he was going to be a guard his entire NFL career.

 

Before commenting on what you commented on,  it took a System Restore to an earlier date to correct the problem I mentioned in another thread about the Quote function not working on my computer.  

 

Unless Mike Pouncey made contact with one of the officials,  which I didn't notice,   it didn't look like Pouncey warranted an ejection.  The penalty he received might have been the difference in the game,  along with many other individual play results.   For the first 27 minutes or so in this game,  it was the Dolphins that looked like an 0-8 team,  not the Bucs.  

 

Mike Pouncey probably has the ability to be a Pro Bowl Center or Guard.   He might even be able to hold his own at RT,  if called upon.    While Pouncey's legal situation involving the Aaron Hernandez case ( s ) bears watching,   otherwise Pouncey looks like a long term key building block for the Dolphins.   There aren't many other players on the Dolphins Offense that look like anything close to a long term building block.
