Previously on Center evaluations at Dove Valley

by DLMyers on Feb 24, 2010 12:43 PM MST

The following takes place between Jan and Feb 2010

Present were Coach Josh McDaniels, GM Brian Xanders, Director of College Scouting Matt Russell , Pro Player Personnel Director Keith Kidd, new offensive line coaches Clancy Barone and Bob Wylie.

CB-BW: Who are the current centers on the team?

JM: Casey Weigmann 39 11th year and Dustin Fry 25 2nd year

CB-BW: Are there any transition players that have center experience?

JM: Yes, Ben Hamilton a guard 32 9th year.

CB-BW: What are the FA possibilities?

KK: Not many. There is Kevin Mawae on the Titans 39 16 years.

CB-BW: What are the prospects in the Player Allocation pool?

MR: Weak position, one impact player in Maurkice Pouncey in the 1-2 round. Then two prospects in the 3rd round in Tennant and Walton. Then there are projects in the 5th round. like Olsen, Larsen, and Cook

CB-BW: We will need to study the tapes. Thank you all.

Many weeks later.

CB-BW: We recommend that Casey Weigmann be cut and that Ben Hamilton be offered a backup/trainer role to help with Dustin Fry and a draft choice.

BX: This will help with the salary situation. Casey Weigmann will save us $2.6 million and Ben Hamilton’s salary in 2009 was $4.8 million.

Well, it could have happened that way.

You may be trying to put the link in

instead of the jpeg. Try “View Image” and then cut that link and paste it the the post. Then try “Preview” to see if it takes. I had that problem in the past and that is what it took to resolve it. I hope that helps.

I sure wouldn't call this scenario unrealistic DL...At the very least something close?

Thanks bs72..

seems like two DL but if coach Nunnley likes current players then maybe one.
IMO there be no FA DL.

You forgot Seth Olsen...

Because Montana has no professional sports, I gotta support the land of my birth.

Socrates was once executed for 'trolling'.
^Needs explaining: don't call someone asking uncomfortable, slightly antagonistic questions trolls. In all odds they probably just want to learn. It's real easy to differentiate a 'Socratic' post from a trolling one (unless you're a resident of WCG).
^Needs further explaining: I have yet to post anything on WCG, don't worry, I'm not trying to rationalize anything I've done. I've just lurked over there and man, they are the model of post-peloponnesian war Athens.

some posters have written about becoming the center and even mentioned that McD wants that, BUT never has Seth Olsen been a center and I can not find anywhere where McD has mentioned this.
