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 think DE will be a position we'll fill next year too when we don't re-sign Dorsey and promote Bailey. Maybe in the 3rd or 4th round though.

As far as safety, I think Menzie is good depth and we moved Daniels back there which is good because he's a sold veteran.

OLB makes me nervous. We lose DJ, it's gonna hurt. But if Tamba gets hurt this year, we are ****ed.

Daniels is only playing safety during OTAs. He'll be a CB when we have... oh, I don't know... our top three safeties healthy?

I don't have anything on Greenwood, other than what I saw in the preseason last year.

I thought he showed some ability and progressed from game to game.

That's a damn impressive overhaul of every position group

But, but, but Herm's drafting built the team. Pioli didn't bring in anyone worth a damn other than Berry./dumbasses

This is Bill Williamson.

If you've never noticed he's a horrible writer, then I don't know what to tell you.

Intelligent and competitive? Interesting. That should give some reason to believe in the guy. I was impressed with him last year with the limited time he played at guard. Quietly, he played well.

He could be one of those quiet bloomers.

We'll see, Moss hasn't even caught a regular season catch for them yet.

I thought it was Cory Greenwood. Wasn't Bobby G. on offense?
