Corbett to Center

I think we take a C in the draft, probably later.  corbett may benefit from this move, based on his injury history.  Not really sure what they will ask of him, but I imagine that he is smart enough to call schemes and would pull less than a G....

It would be unwise to depend on Colbert staying healthy all season.  I hope they get an opportunity to upgrade him, but short of that he needs a quality backup until they do find an upgrade.

Not buying this one bit.

They will draft one early, unless Connor Williams signs within the next few days.

Just no way Corbett is the starting C come week 1. 

I hope you are right.

I know some of you will mock this (in your heads--I kinda did but then I thought about it)  Mays has been moved around from position to position, school to school.  I think they worked him at C some last year.

In the SEC his senior year, he gave up 1 sack. 

I think there is potential there, if they would let him focus on Center.  He is 24--and then i saw this on his wikipedia page---twilight zone stuff---lists him as a center.  That is right--center.  or for some of you, the "hiker" I am talking depth here. but he flashed a bit last season

It would be ideal to put Corbett as the swing G and C

However, as a post june 1 cut, he would save $6m.  So they could try him there and cut him if he does not win the starting job--letting the rookie and Mays hold it down.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
