Been down the short arms road, with bad results. Why revisit?

Lol. At least he turned out to be a good guard for us.

I cant see center.
Having a rook QB taking snaps from a rook center? 2 rooks trying to identify defenses, change protections and plays?

Seattle won the SB with a 1st year center but they had a vet QB.

I Cant see center at 14.
Gaurd? Sure. RT? Yea.
Center? Nooo.

Glaze can be depth at tackle or get in line for competition at guard. We can't go into a season again thinking he's the guy at any position. He might do better with better coaching but Mendoza is too valuable to count on that.

We can do better

Short arms for a tackle but fine as a guard. That 's why some saying he could drop. I still think he goes higher than 14.

Yes but, not good value for where he was picked.

We all love Madden and rightfully so. But IMO the greatest football coach of all time is Lombardi, its not even close.

Madden said as much in his first book

He also talked about it several documentaries. One was in the Vince Lombardi: A Football Life where Madden went to a seminar on coaching and Lombardi talked for eight hours. About

The Packers Sweep.

4 hours, break for lunch. 4 Hours, finished.

On single play for eight hours.

Madden walked out thinking. "I don't know a damn thing."

The Voice of God himself. I'd pay to hear that man speak aloud number from a phone book.

Queue the NFL Films Super Bowl XVIII to the tune of Classic Battle by Sam Spence.

"At the heart of this darkness was the Raiders defense. They had stripped the Redskins of their most trusted weapons and sacked Joe Theismann six times.

Nothing on Earth that blocked or tackled or passed or ran could have stopped the Raiders on Black Sunday."

..his last game...
