Fitterer: Go get C Bradley Bozeman

[MHS831]

Bozeman is a C who is excellent as a run blocker and a pass blocker.  He is 27, so you can offer him a longer deal (3-4 years).  To have Bozeman, Corbett, and Moton on one side of the ball, you would have the right side of the LOS locked down for the next 3 years.   Furthermore, you would be (perhaps) one player away from a dominant OL, depending on what you decide to do with Brady Christensen and how well he plays there.

I think Tretter is 31, but he is a more established C. At 31, a center has 5 good years left.  Bozeman was a G for a while but settled into his more natural position.

We were reportedly interested early.  I wouldn't know what the hold up would be...  if we can get him. I would feel a thousand times better about our line.

We have Elflein there now---and after watching him get bull rushed into the QB from the G spot, he is not the answer--a good backup LG/C, but if he is on the field, the offensive coordinators are aware.

It's possible he is fielding offers or part of the watson watch.

Look, I've been banging the drum for our draft pick to be Linderbaum, even at #6 because we desperately need a top flight Center. 

If we were to pick up Bozeman, I'd be so happy with that. Of course, I want them to check him out using a different doctor than the one that gave passing grades to both Paradis and Elflein. 

Yeah, this line can be built to compete, but without a best in the game center, you'll never solidify the line. This could be the best money we could ever spend.

I think the hold up was waiting on Watson. Now that we are out of that race, the money can go elsewhere.

Right I was thinking he was the older between the 2…love their running game..I like Bozeman a little better cause age and can play guard too. Hell I wouldn’t be upset if they signed both of them haha. I’m all in on the build a monster oline finally(like Dallas, Cleveland, Baltimore have). Benefits us regardless of who’s the coach next year and whoever is under center. Not to mention CMC, Hubbard, Foreman…

The center you need is out there. 

Go get him.

Waiting to see if we got Watson?

[rayzor]

We need to act as if we got Watson and get the OL he'd need to succeed.

I didnt think his acquisition would have an effect one way or the other on the need for a quality C.

If we could snag him and draft one of the big 3 LTs, we would be dramatically better.
