I think it’s a perfect season to try Necas at center but I don’t see Rod doing that.

It's nothing but RBA's ego getting in the way of proven performance if Necas isn't playing center this season. Last season wasn't his best, but he had a breakout year playing center in 22-23, so I'm not sure what the deal is unless RBA wanted better D, which he did improve on last season. Still some work to be done there.

He has never played center under Rod.   I thought he had always been a winger.

Now that Fast is officially out and Jarvis is officially signed, what does everyone think the lines are going to look like? I think it’s a perfect season to try Necas at center but I don’t see Rod doing that. I’m guessing:

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

Necas - Kotkaniemi - Roslovic

Carrier - Staal - Martinook

Robinson - Drury - Unger-Sorum

Lemieux, Jost

Call-Up’s: Nadeau, Blake, Suzuki, Jaaska

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Chatfield

Gostisbehere - Walker

Stillman

Call-Up’s: Morrow, Ryan, Seeley, Smith

Andersen

Kochetkov

Call-Up: Martin

 

LTIR: Fast

 

Swap Koochie and Anderson. Even the national media sees him starting over Freddie.   Also, why not give Lemieux a shot over a carrier?  This team seemed to have toughness with him out there. Plus I didn’t think he was that bad.

    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
