But Rags, Hainsey had never played center in a real game before Week 1 of this season, so how could you possibly justify playing him there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out you don't have to have played the position in "a real game" previously to know how to play!

Literally the only feedback I got last week on that front was you saying that and Rags saying Hanson shouldn't be playing, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think as guys get more athletic, its easier to project them moving in or out, left or right. I would not want to test out a guy at C though. Line calls, snapping, and blocking in a new position is different than going from RG to LG or RT to RG. Also depends on the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Zion played some C at the senior bowl, so I dont think he'd **** his pants every play, but i would expect some hiccups in a real game.

MWil23 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Based upon this week's production at key positions, I have Berlin winning this one. Matt Ryan didn't suck, Herbert did, and I don't see a RB on Rome's roster who is capable of doing much to make up for that. From a defensive scheme point of view, I don't think that the scheme and matchup is very advantageous for Rome, and I think Berlin is able to exploit things given the 3+ WR set usage. Give me Berlin in a very close one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Gotta go Berlin here. I think Berlin has a great gameplan and roster to attack Rome and come away with a win by a td Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Substantially in a vacuum where I feel as though the gameplans are even. I believe IRL production matters. I give the slight edge on gameplanning to Berlin and with this week’s gameplay added on, that’s how I balance it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
