Any football coaches on CP? Question about OL...
 

How difficult is the transition from guard to center, or center to guard?

I just ask because I'm watching Rodney Hudson's highlight flick, and he looks ****ing monstrous.

He's never really played center, though... so how will all that translate?

Dude just stop.

You lost me.

I'm serious, is there anything online that breaks down the transition from one position to the next?

I tried googling it but it got me this hilarious racist forum bitching about minorities in sports.

I love the thread on how the racists in the forum are pissed off that whites can only play one position (center) on the offensive line. lolz

Why are you asking about center to guard? Do you think we have other plans for Niswanger or Wiegmann?

Well I'm mostly asking about Hudson. Niswanger actually plays guard better than he does center...

Grunhard was a guard at Notre Dame. He transitioned just fine.

there are alot of wanna be coaches on CP. So does that count?

I'm no coach, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.

Center to Guard: shouldn't be that tough.
Guard to Center: depends on how cerebral the player is. The center is like the freaking general and tactician of the Oline. That's the reason that an undersized shit like Weigmann can make a career in the NFL.

Not a single goddamn person here with a little expertise that could help us out?

Mecca's AWOL. All the real football knowledge is gone

There is a huge difference between guards and centers. The difference is usually about three or four feet.

Essentially, transitioning from a guard to a center involves the following tricky steps:

1) Stand up
2) Make sure there isn't already someone in the center position. If there is, you may get a foul for unsportsmanlike conduct or unncessary roughness if you were to continnue.
3) If the spot is open, walk or slide over to that spot.
4) Squat back down
5) That thing in front of your face is callled a 'football'. Usually the center gets to rest his hand on that little leather pillow.
6) Watch out, cuz someone might put their hands on your butt. If they do, try to hit them with the little leather pillow.

You have to be kidding right?

Pure comedy this am...

I think Sully is a coach. PM him.
