Lelito got pushed around a lot last season. IMO he's the weak link that needs to be replaced unless he improved greatly in the off season.

I was thinking the opposite; Lelito at center did fine, it was Evans at guard who struggled mightily due to injury. Grubbs also struggled at times. Armstead/Strief were pretty solid

Lilito barely played last season,and we he did, he played well. Not saying he was a stud,but he played well and should be better with Unger by his side.

Well or sufficient isn't good enough when you have a 20 million dollar QB you need to protect and try and win a SB.

If he played well and was the answer we certainly wouldn't have traded Jimmy in for a CENTER.

And wouldn't have traded a guard to move Lelito back to his natural position

I never said he was the answer for center.His primary position is guard and you don't have to have a pro bowler for every position on the o line to have a good o line.
