I think it was talked about when he was drafted last year by the talking heads and also mentioned in his scouting report. I just don't see him sitting another year. The only way he plays G next year is if Waters is traded.

Kind of agree with you BigCat. If the Chiefs don't draft a Center, I think they could consider Asamoah at that spot. I'm pretty sure in college he did practice at center from what I remember.

Post-Draft Outlook: A closer look at the Chiefs' picks: Round 3/68 -- Jon Asamoah, C/G, 6-4, 305, Illinois, A talented interior blocker who can also play center, Asamoah has the nasty attitude the Chiefs hope to foster with the blockers under Weis and O-Line coach Bill Muir. - by The Sports Xchange

Actually his biggest knock as a guard if I remember right, was his size/strength. We'll see.

It's nonsense. There were NO "talking head" mentioning that he could play center. There were a couple of "scouting reports" by lame internet scouts that claimed he "could" play center but it was pure and utter speculation.

The fact is that the guy was a four year starter in college at the right guard position and he has far more upside than Waters or Lilja (who gets pushed around far too often for my taste).

That's ****ing bullshit.

Did you see any evidence this past season when he started in place of Lilja or played when Waters was hurt that he had a "strength" issue?

Didn't say it was my knock did I? Kind of helps that we run a zone blocking scheme though eh?

He has practiced there, which is a good start. He's also a smart guy, so he could play center. Also, he started three years.

College: Versatile offensive lineman joined Kansas City as the club’s first of two third-round selections (68th overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft ... Can play either guard position and also practiced at center during his collegiate career ... Cemented his position along the offensive line at Illinois, starting three straight years at right guard ... Played in 42 games, starting 37 consecutive games during his final three seasons ... Earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a senior ... Was selected to the National Football Foundation’s 16-man Scholar-Athlete team.

No, I was speaking in general.

I think it's nonsense that some dopey website can state something that has no bearing in reality, yet people quote that website ad nauseam without using their noggin.

He started 37 games. He started from game five of his freshman year.

Furthermore, practice in college is far different than practice in the NFL.

In short, I'll believe it when I see it and I seriously doubt I'll ever see it. He's far too important as a guard than as a center.

The organization thought enough of it to mention it on their profile of him on the web site.

On draft day.

Propaganda, pure and simple.

Either way I say they try to squeeze Waters, Lilja and Asamoah into the interior 3 this year one way or another.

What do you THINK will happen? Not what do you want to see happen.

Who gives a shit? Eric Berry was a HS QB, it doesn't mean he's fit to play that position in the NFL.

Squeeze? So, you're suggesting that they play Lilja and Asamoah out of position, just because they can?

****, I hope not.

I see Laz's bullshit idea of them switching all the lineman around is creeping through the fanbase.

Do the Chiefs list that under his profile on their web site?
