Aside from injuries, Would somebody please explain and give legitimate reason why someone would suggest starting Damien Lewis at C when we already have Austin Blythe who is already familiar w/ Waldron playcalling and Dickerson's coaching.
Most of it stems from how he played genuinely well as an emergency center with no experience against (If I remember correctly) Arizona as a rookie.Aside from injuries, Would somebody please explain and give legitimate reason why someone would suggest starting Damien Lewis at C when we already have Austin Blythe who is already familiar w/ Waldron playcalling and Dickerson's coaching.
I remember in a interview when he got assigned as the emergency C before the Arizona game, he said played that position before but never snapped the ball but told Pete hes down to play any position on the O Line.Lewis also played some center at LSU, didn't he?
You are correct. Im just baffled. I mean we ve already moved him once already, wouldnt moving him again would affect his growth as player?Most of it stems from how he played genuinely well as an emergency center with no experience against (If I remember correctly) Arizona as a rookie.
Yeah, I get that viewpoint. I'm not personally advocating for the move, but at least if they move him (no indication that they're even thinking about him at C), it's because he showed real promise in a real game rather than a mindless shuffle.You are correct.

Also Blythe is 100% healthy and fresh since he backed up Creed last yr and is also smart.This is going to be a super young OL! I think its better then last years though. Yeah, Austin Blythe has some great tape of him online and he should be the center. Fast, aggressive and can get to the 2nd level quick...he is always moving his feet.
Its been awhile but the Hawks will have a 1000 yard rusher in Walker this year!
His durability remains a question and he needs more reps. Like someone said, its a prove it yr for him.Haynes did alright last season, but he has durability issue? He has been injured a lot.
