    Maybe, but hasn't Van Roten played center in a real game? So has Bates, for that matter.

    I mentioned it as a possible option.  Boettger has some positional flexibility.

     

    As I recall from earlier in the year, Van Roten also had very limited experience, several bad exchanges, along with poor blocking. 

    Pretty shallow depth and needs more competition.

     

    Since we can only get very limited practice reports, there is no way to know if Bates takes a few snaps each week or if Boettger will be worked in along the way.

    Josh overthrew him on a long sideline throw. He had a step or two and a good pass was probably a TD. 

     

    Other than that, I think he was in just a few other for punt returns. He needs to play/practice with Josh to gain his trust and timing. Should have given him the rock on a few pitches, sweeps, screens, etc. Hopefully more touches this game. But it's going to be hard giving Motor, Cook, and Hines touches. And they elevated Duke, not sure why. Maybe we see a focus on the run and quick throw game. That has been needed since Josh's started struggling!

     

    I missed that about Duke, thanks for posting.  Sure sounds like they are getting ready to play some ‘winter ball’.

  3. Wet ball tomorrow and it is unlikely his grip will be stronger.

    I’m ok if he comes in as a last resort /backup with a heavy, protective wrap.

    Even damaged, better than Barkley.

     

    Good news it sounds like he’s a quick healer.
