Most delays are because of delays from the sidelines because formations, plays are called from the sidelines... That's not to say that an inexperienced Center misses a read and gets the ball carrier hammered... |

Re: Source: Brian de la Puente visiting the Redskins
DLP wasn't a liability, but he was certainly no asset. He was merely serviceable.
IMO he should be relatively easy to replace with at least a comparable Center and more than likely a better one. With a HOF QB and two pro-bowl guards on either side, he should have looked like a top 5. I think thats why his better than average PFF grades are very misleading. |
