Yea he played pretty well at guard. Hopefully he's as good at center. I feel like we should have a pretty powerful run blocking line. What a nice change up it'll be to get some push in the run game.

Can't imagine a scenario where Jones isn't our starting center other than injury.
He was our best O lineman last year.

Flowers is the only possible hold-over starter from game 1 last season if Halapio beats out Jones and Flowers would be playing a different position. IMHO, O-line will end up being:
LT Solder LG Hernandez (anyone thinking he won't start if healthy is kidding themselves) C Halapio or Jones RG Omameh (Greco, Halapio or Jerry will not win this spot, sorry. Time for people to come to grips with this already. Omameh is being paid on average 5 million a year, he will not be on the bench if healthy). RT Flowers

I think this will cement that Halapio makes the team as the backup center and swing guard. It's also great for Jones to have competition and push him to be better or work harder in the weight room.

Halapio was able to handle RG last year, a much more physically demanding position than Center.
Halapio is bigger and stronger than Jones, and a better run-blocker.
Week 1 starting C.

If he beats Jones out ok, but not to hand Halapio the center position.
Jones is a tough nut.
Jones is 6'2" 312lbs. Not small.

Totally agree about the starting 5. Only exception could be someone (wheeler) beating out flowers. That would make 0 starters from last year. I don't see that happening though. |
