Why is it Casey Weiggman gets no respect among NFL centers?

[RealSNR]

They figure the best OL in the league needs to have a weak spot and Weiggman is that weak spot? What?

[Phobia]

Because he's not 380 lbs.

[Boardin Bronco]

Because he's not Tom Nalen.

[Garcia Bronco]

Our's doesn't get any respect either.

[htismaqe]

I remember him in college...solid player. I just think he's not very vocal.

[KCTitus]

Because he doesnt get drunk and punch out bouncers?

He would have, but he was too busy grabbing a chaw...

*gasp* Tobacco use? DV's got some discipline problems at TC to deal with now!

LOL....very nice.

In my opinion, it is for the same reason it took the league so long to recognize the talent of Brian Waters. When you play with guys named Shields and Roaf it's tough to get any kind of respect.

I remember watching a Monday Night Football game against Buffalo about three or four years ago. I have never been so amazed at how an offensive line picked up blitzes in my life. I watched them and it almost seemed as if it were an innate abilty.

I have to believe that Mike Solari could be the best offensive line coach in the league.

He don't work for the Donks no more, so now they can tell us what they really believe -- that he's a cut-blocking, Crisco-using cheater.

yeah--gibbs is with hotlanta right now

Because he's just a good, solid center nothing more. He gets bull rushed pretty easliy and isn't really dominate at the point of attack on running plays. He moves well and is smart. That's all you can say about him.

[Nightfyre]

i think its largely because he has always been surrounded by probowlers, so he is easy to overlook. He's great and a cornerstone of the line, though.

[dtebbe]

Havent you heard? He's undersized and too small to play center in the NFL.

Vermeil and Saunders knew exactly what they wanted when they first arrived in KC. One of their earliest moves was to bring Weigman on board. That says a lot, IMO.

I don't think he's disappointed anyone.
