Good call. Center is definitely a difficult position to play, and Brett was a guy who flew under the radar forever. I think the LSU starting lineup announcements when he barely got cheers was a pretty big indicator that people didn't know how good he was. We're going to miss him, especially with T-Bob coming off an injury.

Other than that, Quinn Johnson. Big time player who, like Helms, was very underrated.

Gotta take into account the difficulty of the position and who is behind him. C and FB are really the only positions that I'm concerned with filling considering how all the defensive seniors played poorly.

Colt. Good consistent kickers are a must.

Colt David was a close second on my list. Great kicker.

He will be missed as much as Patrick Fisher was missed. Two HUGE special teams guys who were absolutely awesome.

gotta take into account his rather average season this year, esp the 2nd half of the year. The middle of our line was consistently blown up. Hitt and Helms were whipping boys.


someone could be moved to center in the offseason, i have a feeling

1. Herman Johnson

3. Brett Helms
4. Quinn Johnson
5. Tyson Jackson

That's how my Top 5 would go.

I thought T-Bob was gonna be our next center or does his injury keep him out?
