We wanted him to start in 2014. Last year he was busy sharing time at LG when Unger was out.

I just got back from the gym. I wasn't able to respond earlier when I found out.

I'm not too worried. He's a vet and knows our system by now. He takes it slow and he can be ready for the season. More reps for the other guys.

And trading Ingram for a temporary replacement center?! Our running game already takes a hit without Unger so why make it worse getting rid of our best RB?
$$$$ - guarantee the money and Nick will show...

In all reality this is the new elephant in the room. Once again, the injury bug hits us........that is the first.

#1 next season is center unless one of our UDFA's excels. Please bring someone else in now.

I don't feel comfortable with Kelemete(calamity) taking the center to start the season. We need to dominate on the O-line to get off to a strong start and his stating replacement isn't on the roster now. jmho

And stop with the Jimmy Graham fail talk. It gave us a first round draft pick and a starting center a couple of years ago and we dropped Jimmy's fat contract. This was a win for the FO. Selecting Anthony was where we failed.
