One thing I noticed from the Bama game last year was their NG pushing our center back into the backfield, which caused Fournette to have to go lateral. Having a "stouter" center could be helpful with that...
They got lower than 6'7"/6'6" Pocic and that gave them leverage to push him back. Its hard for a guy that tall to get the low leverage on a guy 4 inches shorter than him, stronger than him, and heavier than him.

That's why it drives me crazy when I read Pocics best spot is center and he should stay there. The Bama game is a perfect example of why thats ridiculous. A 6-7 310 LB guy CANT move a 6-2 325-335 lb guy lined up right over him. Its a simple leverage issue. Pocic is so talented, that in most games he's still very productive but against the best, I wouldn't say he's exposed, just that the disadvantage was too great to overcome. I hope with his injury he's still able to move to OT this year, think he could be big-time there

I agree. Seems like Pocic is more of a left tackle body.

Seems like Pocic would be a good fit at RT. Not sure who plays LT. Brown or Chidi, or could Willie play there as a true frosh?
