Mike Daniels was an unproven and undersized dt...he came from nowhere to be a sensation. Many thought Carl Davis would come in and set the world on fire because of size. If Walsh can beat out Donnal it says a lot about Walsh as Donnal should have had the upper hand being he played so well last year. If you take Blythe out who plays center. That is much different from the other line spots it isn't like you can put anyone there. And we have had smaller centers a lot. They are usually athletic and mean.
i am fine with trying to find ways to get law on the field if he proves to the coaches he deserves it not because of an Internet video where he knocks a helmet off a player with a hit.
Daniels is a great example of player development no doubt and there will need to be some of these guys but it will not be the norm to fill out all 22 spots. Some guys are studs from day one and you need studs to win consistently.
Boffeli has worked at center. I would have Blythe and Walsh competing for the last spot guard or center does not matter to me. I want Donnal on the field with Van Sloten, Scherff and Bofelli.
I want Cotten, Smith, Powell, Donnal, Law, Cooper, Canzeri, Faith, Jaleel, Draper, etc... Playmakers on the field in whatever package or combination.
I think Carl Davis is going to have a big year but you are right that if he or others do not produce then go to the next guy until you find the player. If that player ends up being Shumpert so be it but I am skeptical with him.
