Jeremiah Sirles moving to center

[husker B-rent]

great move imo. our centers were very undersized. and no sirles was not going to start at tackle. good move for him, good move for the team. simple as that.

He is a wee bit taller than a prototypical center. It would be nice to have a guy with size there for a change. We'll see how this pans out. Moving Arod and Qvale to tackle probably played into this.

I think you want your tackles to be rangy and have wingspan. Interior line though, I know DTs benefit from being short and stout. I assume it's probably the same way for interior OL -- be strong, but not so tall that you're going to let people get under the pads all the time. That's a losing battle.

OK, this just can't be good......we have no one else physically able to play the position?......damn, i hate musical chairs, first Heard and now Sirles?

 

[Husker_x]

He's sure to be the CENTER of attention during camp.

He who would pun would pick a pocket!

I think Tyler Moore, Brent Qvale, Jake Cotton, Mike Moody, and Zach Sterup will be duking it out for the two starting OT spots.

Andrew Rodriguez should be in the mix as well.

OK, wait, I thought Cotton and A-Rod were still guards, so I'm behind. Who are our guards?

We're going with 4 tight ends

 

['SkersRule]

Actually Cotton may be at OG...

I remember last season he was seriously pushing for PT, then got hurt, and was out for the season...

And the roster at huskers.com just lists Sam Cotton, and indeed all the OL as OL-not broken down by position.

:dunno

A-Rod's the probable starter at RT. Thus the question of what's the best use of Sirles. Now that he's healthy he's likely one of our top five linemen, but is he a center? I guess we'll find out. Beck did say Pensick is still the leader. But they have to figure-out what our best combination of guys is, and sometimes you have shuffle guys around experiment to do that.

 

[The Dude]

My prediction:

LT - Moore

LG - Seoul Train

C - Pensick -or- Sirles

RG - Long

RT - Rodriguez

I thought Price was working at center and Sirles was now the swing OT.
