Center now an area of concern?

Elf is serviceable at C but if he goes down and they’re plugging tacklenburg and a rookie in Mays into the lineup that’s no bueno. Hopefully Boz comes back healthy and it’s not an issue but high ankle sprains are unpredictable.

The center we signed to shore up the position is already banged up before the 2nd preseason game and Elflein aka one of the worst olinemen in the league who has been injured off and on himself is still our backup? Yeah definitely concerning if you value the health of the starting quarterback and remember the "highlights" from last season.

Id rather see Mays play center than go for a freee agent, but if we go for a free agent... JC Tretter would be the ideal player.

It's easy to say play him without having actually seen him play. I do hope we find a way to get him some reps there in the preseason to evaluate how thin we are at C.

I think I would lean FA at the moment.

He apparently took reps at C today with the 2s. I expect him to take reps on Friday as well.

      Coker has certainly earned it. Good for him.

      I don't think we don't call things aggressively, for a Canales offense, anyway. We don't have a QB who makes aggressive throws nor stresses defenses downfield. He is at a career low on 20+ attempts per game and his career 10-20 QB rating is abysmal.  That will always be a limiting factor IF you are looking for a high flying, downfield offense. I am not even that concerned about it, I just want to see effective offense and we decidedly do not possess that. A large chunk of that is Bryce. I think the second biggest chunk is Canales. All the other components(XL included) are fairly minor in comparison to those two things. I am an advocate of attempting to improve at QB. I am not focused on finding "The QB." We failed at that with Bryce. So let's just get better. If that's a one year vet or a draftee or a cheap trade or some combination of any/all, we should do that. We have to get that QB better. Bryce will fail in 2026 and we need to have REALISTIC options to take over when that happens. That ain't Andy Dalton or Hendon Hooker or Jack Plummer or Mike White or....you get the picture. Be serious about hedging that Bryce bet and not just having to make do if he struggles or gets injured.  My mind is definitely made up on Canales. It's year two and he hasn't improved much, nor do I think the bones of a good HC are there. Ron Rivera got to that point after two seasons and he was open about the changes he had to make and advice he got to make that leap in year 3. If we don't see the same after next year, how is he not just Brian Daboll?

      Not really buying it because T-mac faces stiffer competition week in and week out.
