Chiefs All-Decade Team - Center

[Rain Man]

With the end of the decade, it's time for us to select our all-decade team for the 2010s. Credit to Direckshun for the idea; I'm just implementing it.

Here are the rules:

1. I'll put up lists of position groups one at a time.

2. Each list will contain guys who had at least one notable stat line in their career. I'll generally put them in descending order of some key stat.

3. The stats will contain ONLY their body of work between 2010 and 2019 for the Chiefs. No pre-2010 stats and no stats for other teams.

4. The number of roster spots will be the same as the number of roster spots on the 2019 Super Bowl roster for the Chiefs.

5. You can use whatever criteria you want to select the team. It can be total stats for the decade, it can be dominance in a shorter period, it can be playmakers who didn't screw up badly, whatever. It's your call. Feel free to use any criteria not listed in your decision. For example, if you know that Terrance Copper was an amazing blocker, you can build that into your decision.

6. In a subsequent poll we will determine which players are the starters on the all-decade team. In the first round, you're just going to fill the 53-man roster.

Our next position group is center. ONE center will make the all-decade team. So pick ONE center.

There are 3 right answers.

Hudson. Easiest choice yet.

Where are the blocking stats? I need to know sacks allowed and pancake blocks before I can make an informed decision.

That stat is a little misleading, though. He started every game he played in, but he missed 15 games for injury, starting only 49 of 64 games in his four years with the Chiefs.

I would direct you to write your letter of complaint to prof football reference.

Well they DO have penalties listed...

For what it's worth, I found some sacks allowed stats too.

Morse allowed 2.5 sacks as a chief; 7 holding penalties, 4 false starts
Hudson allowed 6.5; 3 holding, 2 false starts, 2 declined/offset penalties
Reiter allowed 1; 5 holding, 2 declined/offset
Cant find anything about sacks allowed on wiegmann. But he did have 3 holding, an offsides and 1 penalty that was declined/offset

Wiegmann seems so long ago. Hudson was the perfect replacement. Mitch Morse was fine when he was healthy.

I'm going with Hudson.

I was just giving you a hard time. Didnt really mean it. But then I got curious since I use pro football reference a lot.

I'm really enjoying going through these, thanks for taking the time to get all this data.

I didn't know they had penalties, and I fancy myself pretty adept at PFRing. I'm going to have to go looking.

If he wouldn't get a concussion reading this post he would have been a hell of a player.
