When you see Drew getting delay of game penalties because he is identifying the Mike in addition to calling out audibles to his WR and RBs, that is the Cs job. Center controls the OL.

If a Center is playing at that level, he generally knows what he's doing...

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...

Huddle calls are made from the sidelines. Post break, pre snap are called at the line.

In regards to who "knows" what they are doing, I'll take a risk here and side with Brees and Payton over a center that is going to his 8th team IF he is picked up.

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.

This guy wants a Center!

Also if you are hiking the ball and your QB doesn't know what the hell is going on... it isn't the QB.
