    The thing that upset me is we had these centers coming in but all of our attention was diverted to Peyton Manning who basically wasted our time and might've cost us a chance to pick up a better center.

    I wouldn't just blame the center, last year was new for everyone, had many new coaches and new ways of coaching etc.... give this team time to adjust.

    That is what i was thinking as well.We don't really know but they might actually be giving Amano one more season to get things going better and adjust but i really do hope thats not the case.

    Maybe not but money talks and we had the money and could have cut amano and made him a deal he couldnt refuse. I just pray he is not our opening day center or it will really make one question the staff and the front office. I know amano sucks, I want to let someone else try and see if it can be much worse. Again the Indy tape tells it all.

    I'm really not worried about it, and if the coaching staff and FO were worried they would have drafted someone.

    Open position going into camp with Amano, Harris, Velasco, Matthews and Valchos fighting for it, someone will win it.

    Maybe let Matthews and Velasco battle for the center spot and let Amano and Harris fight for right guard. If they all stink,sign a vet.

    They need to give Velasco a fair shake, he may can be a C or better guard than Amano or Leroy. They haven't kept him on the roster the last 3 or 4 years for nothing, he's a good player.

    The plan is, there was no plan. Munchak and Matthews overvalue their abilities to coach linemen and will try to turn another loser into a productive player. Amano was also a 7th round talent they saw something in, and here we go again..

    Posted this in another thread, but looks like it is applicable here too.

    "Who knows how this is going to play out. I don't expect a 180 with Amano, but it wasn't so long ago the recently coveted Chris Myers was considered the worst center in the league. Considered one the better centers now and all the Texans do now is cutblock. Where was Matthews coaching before here? Maybe we're in for a scheme change instead of a regime change. Maybe they wanted to shuffle the line around but didn't have time due to the lockout. Amano was great as a guard, run blocking being a strength. It is disappointing that more hasn't been done to improve competition on the O-Line, but we can still keep a positive outlook on this. I remember the 2007 draft, when we were all miffed that more wasn't done about the D-Line."
