Both guards and Center need upgrading.

BUT, with Fisher and Wiz in there, it's serviceable and that's a big reason for the uptick in the running game-both in Andy's willingness to call running plays, and our success in doing so.

Also a factor-Damien's looking healthy, and Darwin seems to have digested enough of the offense to be a factor.

I think that guard they traded for (w/Houston?) might be a pretty good one. And LDT is fine, IMO, as long as he can stay healthy and the guys around him are playing okay. So that just leaves the center position. Yeah, Reiter does not seem to get any push. Time to find a replacement.

This. It's time to quit putting Gs at C and expecting a different outcome. If Allegretti isn't the answer, start looking for someone in the draft that can play the position. Look at Big 10 Cs. I saw a couple over the last few weeks that would make Reiter go cry to mama. LDT gets a lot of flak because a lot of that inside pressure/lack of push comes from Reiter not taking care of business.

Exactly what I was going to post.
