How has he looked so far in Training camp? Does he look like he got his size and strength back from the illness he had last year? I am really hoping we see a major improvement from him this year and he isn't the next Donald Thomas.
This Pouncey brother is not starting material at C for the NFL, not even close.Maybe O Hara at center amd Pouncey to RG. I think several draft guru's projected him there over center.

I don't even know who's on the line right now but it seems like every other play Daniel Thomas is getting blown up by a D-lineman or linebacker and our QBs are getting sacked with regularity.
I know we're missing Long but the O-line as a whole needs a lot of work.
Not saying Pouncey is a bust, but I will say, he is not an NFL caliber center. I said the same about Jerry last year BEFORE his illness and people laughed. Right now the Oline is a mess, one starter in there the rest are backups and at this stage in his career, at best, Pouncey is playing like a third string backup. I watched him in college. He, IMO, is not a NFL center. Guard ? probably but certainly not center. The kid stands up like a statue. Did it in college too, hard to break habit.
Pouncey got the better of Solai in one, one on one drill. Besides that, Solai and the rest of the defensive line have been throwing him around like a rag doll. There is ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO nastiness in this Pouncey kid, absolutely ZERO. In short, yeah he is a rookie but he is getting his rear end handed to him on a platter. He is not his brother, not even close to it.The OL has improved, but we have to remember that Pouncey has only practiced a few 3 days (and has gotten the better of Solia a couple times), and we've had Rey Feinga (who was a backup guard last year), and Matt Kopa (who was our backup Center I belive last year after Proctor got hurt). Jake and Vernon have not practiced, and then Nate Garner, Lydon Murtha, and Marc Columbo can't practice till Thursday. So really, we haven't had our best OL out there
