When Pouncey returns, do we need him more at Guard or Center?

I also think moving Pouncey to guard takes even more pressure off of Satele at C. Satele should be able to freelance in more situations to find the unblocked rusher or help chip with the guards. Satele would get better by simply not having to help with weak link at RG. RG would be locked down with Pouncey. As long as Satele can contain his rusher we win in both positions.

I would like to think Turner makes the whole conversation moot at some point by manning RG while Pouncey slides back to C. But right now, Pouncey at RG gives us the best 5 on the field.

I think Pouncey stays at guard as long as Satele plays at his current level.

Pouncey will be a better guard than center...the latter being a position he had some issues at.

Remember...the scouting report on Satele coming out was he was a plug in starter in a zone blocking scheme

STRENGTHS
One of the most difficult blocks for a center to handle is the strength of this kid’s game. Samson is a powerful kid that plays with good leverage and excellent strength. He is smart and has excellent leadership skills. Samson can handle a big nose tackle straight up in the passing game without any problems at all and like I said before, that is the hardest blocking technique for a center to deal with when playing his position. He shows decent enough lateral agility to help out his guards in the double team and shows the mental stamina to deal with a full 16 game schedule without any problems. For the right offense, Samson is a plug-in center for the team that drafts him.

My belief is that this is that "right offense" mentioned in that scouting report.

I believe our former 2nd round pick is back for good at center....and that we have the makings of the best O-line here since that great 70's line...which had two should be three hall of famers.
