Hey, Carl has to pull a Donnie Edwards every few years...

I can think of no Haley replacement that has sucked as perfectly, in the exact same way, as if only the name on the back of the jersey were changed.

"But he's fuggen huge. Huge offensive lineman = good."

No...

He is playing very well in pass protection, but we have to be the worst 3rd and inches run team in the NFL. The interior line gets eaten alive in short yardage situations.:cuss:

Key example of why we got rid of him...

Yet, when Priest Holmes was our RB, we were one of the best short yardage team in the league, even with Wiegman at Center.

Yea, i seem to remember a ton of rushing TD's with Casey as our center??

Well, that was several years ago...

Hes still better than what we have now. Thanks Herm!

That is as may be, but Wiegman has never been a power blocker.

He is pretty much the same player now that he was then, which is why he was available to the Chiefs in free agency then.

If you want to succeed in short yardage situations with Wiegman at center, you need to double down in the middle, and hope Moreno eventually learns to slither through seams the way that Priest did.

Sadly, I think Moreno will be that kind of back, sooner, rather than later.

I think they just need better plays in those situations... it's clear they just can't drive it straight up the gut. So, break out with a bit of creativity... use the wild horses format there, roll right (or left) and pitch it out... stick a space-eater in there as your FB and run behind that guy.

There are ways to work within their limitations in that spot... but continued driving it up the middle drives me crazy.
