Who Should Be The Packers Starting Center In 2012?

[Joemailman]

Like it or not, Scott Wells is gone. Who should be the Packers starting Center this year?

[Joemailman]

I think Lang has the toughness to play there, and has some of the physical attributes that TT probably felt Wells lacked.

[smuggler]

Konz. Draft all the o-linemen. (This is a bad idea unless he's head and shoulders BPA)

I'd rather give EDS a shot at center than move Lang over and mess with his development at left guard. I'm not big on moving starters around on the line. If we expect to field a quality line we should allow our starters to settle into their positions.

Suppose it is Lang at center. Who plays left guard?

Agreed! I'd rather have someone a little less talented who has actually snapped the ball before than find out the hard way that it's just not in Lang's skill set. Was EDS that bad in his snaps at center? I don't remember him being awful and we have a pretty good history with turning the low draft pick into a solid starter.

Moving guys around for the pure adventure of it is what the Packers do, it's who they are... when they draft an OL, they always say right out of the gate they "love his versitility", and he can play all 11 positions.

I didn't want to resign Wells b/c of needs elsewhere, or reupping guys in the future - but we're surely in for an extended period of musical chairs.

Ohhh, I like that. Wish I could take back my vote. Never really gave EDS a fair shot when I was thinking about it and I think you're spot on about not moving guys around.

[Old School]

EDS should be given a chance. If TT doesn't think Genus can cut it at some point, he should draft a center on day two or three.

Messing with TJ Lang, who has played well at guard, only opens another hole. We know how offensive line musical chairs worked in the past. Versatility? That translates to jack of all trades; master of none.

[Pugger]

Is EDS better as a guard or center? I don't care for the idea of moving Lang either. I'm guessing we'll pick up someone in the middle rounds next month.

Kevin Zeitler, come on down.

He plays guard. OK !? Moving Kevin Zeitler to Center?

[woodbuck27]

TT will bring in someone on the chep. He'll toss him in with EDS and whatever else we have and MM will try to get the best at Center as he can. I do not see TT going after a quality and available at present FA. I hope he doesn't address the center position with Pick # 28.

There is talk, and it began before his college career was over, that Zeitler's best position in the pros will be Center. It fits with McCarthy's style of having versatile players, though without much Center depth they may value someone else with more experience at the position.

OK thanks for the input.
