Williamson: Center is a snap so far for Rodney Hudson

Center is a snap so far for Rodney Hudson

June, 1, 2012 Jun 17:00PM ETBy Bill Williamson

One of the main objectives in Kansas City during the OTAs is to get expected new starting center Rodney Hudson up to speed at his position.

Hudson, a second-round draft choice in 2011, is expected to take over as the center. Former starter Casey Wiegmann is expected to retire. The Chiefs took Hudson as a guard/center prospect out of Florida State with an eye on him starting in his second season.

Even though Hudson didn’t play center in college, the Chiefs are confident in him. He has looked strong in OTAs thus far, Kansas City coach Romeo Crennel said.

“One of the things that we wanted to see is what kind of command that he would take of the offensive line,” Crennel told reporters in Kansas City on Friday. “It looks like he’s doing a nice job of it because he’s been asked to (identify) the (middle linebacker) and re-ID on front. He seems to be handling that pretty well. I think that group is working well together. I think that they’re developing that chemistry that you want on your offensive line. So, he’s doing well.”

Hudson practiced at center in college and last year as a rookie. Crennel believes because Hudson is intelligent and competitive, he will have no problem adjusting to the position when the season starts.

I agree, but considering the amount of time, he's addressed alot of the areas. Houston looks legit and Sheffield was a depth move, but injury hampered his progress.

I'd like to see QB, if there is one worthy in the first when we pick and OLBer to spell Hali and be prepared to transition as starter once Hali loses a step.

Those are our two biggest needs, IMO and I believe we address it early next year.

We are actually at the point now where you can start making some bigger free agent splashes to fill holes. I'm not a huge fan of that, but if you are smart about it eg, Winston, it can turn out really well.
I'm a firm believer that the the big free agent splashes that pan out are along the O-Line.

There are rare exceptions, like Drew Brees, but generally big free agency fails.

Studebaker is a fine STs player and can play in a pinch if he had too.


I'm fine with him being a back of the roster type player. He's a shit load better than what we have had previously in that position.

Well, no you're never going to have great depth everywhere. However, for a 2-gap 3-4 team, I personally would emphasis on getting quality pass rushers at 3-4 OLBs and sub 3-4 DEs that can play both the 5 e 3 tech. Additionally, I would look at corners(or safeties in Crennel's case) as my second line of necessary defensive depth.

Deion Sanders worked out splendidly for the Cowboys.

Milkman, I'm fine with that, along the FA lines.


Only time I really like to dip my toe, is if someone hits it after their rookie deal. After that it gets a little shotty.

^This. He's not the best depth wise, but we could be way ****ing worse. I mean, some were hoping we'd take Casey Matthews ...

You cherry picked a stat. How did the best wide receiver of all time work out for the Raiders?

People over value Studebaker in coverage because of a couple of plays in which he just happened to be in the perfect place to make plays on poorly thrown balls, balls that would have been completed without contest from Studebaker when the QB was hit on delivery.

If he had actually been where he was supposed to be in coverage on those plays, the ball hits the ground harmlessly.

I agree with the DE's. Depending on what Poe can do, we may not really need much more of that.


The thing with OLB's is, in passing situations you aren't taking Houston or Hali off the field. W

We need pass rushers up the middle.

Of course I did. I'm just talking football and pointing out a quality FA that woked out besides an O-Lineman, which was the post I quoted. Relax.

I'd venture to say plenty of FAs work out. Many don't live up to their contracts, but plenty do.

Studebaker is fine as a Larry Izzo type of player and would be even better if he took a shit on the sidelines and got a gameball for it.

No, just keeping it real. The point was there are plenty of FAs that do work out.
