Shanahan isnt nearly as bad as some on this board make him out to be. If he doesnt come in this season the center position is an absolute joke. The reason they took him is because guys like Turner and Hines couldn't even consistently snap the ball well and Evans wasn't going to be that guy either after getting a short stint there. They went out and got a guy who was a vet at that position and he's an average SEC player.


He had never started a game at center in his career prior to LSU. That, in and of itself should be a HUGE indictment against Cregg. The guy had been here two season and during that time had yet to recruit and/or develop someone to play what is one of the most important positions along the OL. Do we even have a competent backup if Shananhan elects to move on after this season? Or is it off to the Ivy League once more for a transfer?

No, he isn't going to hold up great vs. some of the SEC's best interior DL but that's the case for a lot of centers in this conference. Lloyd Cushenberry got his sh*t pushed in last year by guys like Derrick Brown too


It's one thing to get beat by a massive, NFL first round pick. It's another to get manhandled by Arkansas's only 1st string DT, which Shananhan did often in that game.

They did, they had Hines. And he came in at 355lbs.

You can’t play Center anywhere close to that weight

The guy at Ark is an elite level player. No he isn't Derrick Brown Top 10 type pick, but he's an elite level player this year. He has been dominating everyone he's played against. His PFF Rating is about 80 on the season and he's been very consistent. Him and Zach Carter of UF lead the conference by a LONG shot in interior Dline pressures on the QB this year. Both have about 30 total QB pressures. Next guys down are under 20. Those are some very disruptive players.

Again Shanahan is an average SEC Olineman this year. His PFF grade is right in the mid 60s right now which is average. HE isn't a bad player, he just isn't going to handle the SEC's best interior Dlinemen like even some of the best interior olinemen struggle with as well.
