Titans C Kevin Mawae Has The Chiefs Connection

he is definatly better then what we have right now

If KC signs him, he’d almost be guaranteed the start whether he’s still good or not. And, we’d still have to draft a center for the future. I might rather just angle for a center early in the draft, try to get some improvement for this year and a future rock in one fell swoop.

The vets we signed were such pathetic failures, for the most part, that I hope it taught Pioli to stay away from this type player this year.

Mawae still plays on an All Pro level even at this age. Signing him will allow us to take a later round center and allow him to develop while rotating to keep Mawae healthy

Rudy may be the hardest working offensive lineman we’ve got and he could be a phenomenal reserve. He simply doesn’t cut it as a starting center in this league. At 6’5" 300lbs, he’s far too lanky. Some centers can do just fine at 6’3"-6’4"+ but they’re usually heavier and/or have a lower center of gravity. Rudy is fighting against his own body. It’s impossible for him to gain any leverage, especially when he has to snap the ball before he can engage his opponent and he’s a half second behind.

Maybe if he sits behind Waters at LG for a few seasons he can eventually inherit his way back into the starting lineup where his stature is less of an obstacle.

…I’m tired of losing and if we workout Mawae and he looks like an upgrade then why not?

then we dont have to use a draft pick this year on a center if we dont want to, that would free up the pick for another postion of need, just my opinion

Age 39

 When I have seen Rudy get beat, it has been an issue of just getting ManHandled. I’m not sure how that would change if you moved him to Guard?

produce better than what we have for this season coming. Opens up a draft pick this year, as others have said, so we can address other holes and draft a center in next years draft. There is a few good ones coming out in 2011

with 2a or 2b they need to pounce(y) on him. The guy is a beast. Never missed games at Florida. Mawae’s too damn old.

I was a fan of Wade Smith all year. I thought he stepped in well across multiple positions on the line. I would like to see him get a chance at the C or RG starting position. He is only a 29 year old 3rd round selection that started all 16 games as a rookie. I would be surprised if we don’t see more of him next year. What are your guys thoughts?
