And Harlan's post got me wondering...how small would the monkeys have to be? I mean, if gerbils had wings, conceivably it might already have happened somewhere in the world - say, somewhere near Hollywood, where Richard Gere lives.

Maybe it would be mini Ditkas.

There's no way I want Wells back at center. Yes, moving someone in to spell Barbre plus moving Spitz over would mean bringing in Wells. But then he makes your center area more of a liability. He has a ton of fight in him, but he is too small and got pushed around too easily last year.
I am for trading one of our FBs for even a mediocre tackle as a stopgap.
Barbre looked like a turnstile out there, I'll grant you that.
Wells did a fine job at center, it was the fact that the guard play was so poor with Wells at Center that the change was made. Wells is a very smart lineman who does the job. Who was one of those guards? Spitz. When it comes to the OL, it's all about the line gelling and if it gells better with Spitz in there great, but don't for one second believe that Spitz won the job because he was better at it, he may have gotten the job because he sucked at guard and they won't play Wells at guard even though early in his career he did in fact play some guard for us.
As far as "size", there isn't much difference between Spitz and Wells. So that whole theory is just flat out wrong.

As far as tackle goes, Barbre flat out sucked, but it was his first start so it's worth giving him some time to get comfortable at the position. Clifton blew a few blocks as did everyone else.
