Quote:The problem with our offensive line isn't the center position, Linder (by PFF's rankings) has actually played better than Mack. The problem with our line is the inability to open lanes in the run game, with Cann & Parnell (the "mauling" right side of the line) shouldering the blame.

Might be playing well through PFF, but having a guy who has played center most his life would do amazing things for Blake. You can't just judge a center on his pass and run blocking skills. The center is essentially the quarterback of the offensive line and can help Blake with protection alignments. Blake has to do everything for the line, and we aren't even sure if he is good at it. Which may be part of the problem with the run game.
