The battle for Center...who wins it?

-Samson Satele
-Al Johnson
-Jake Grove


I HIGHLY doubt we draft a Center, but its possible. But for now, lets stick to those 3.

Al Johnson of course. Not only does he block like a rabid elephant getting pushed by a freight train, he also looks good in spandex.

You really think there's a battle to start when Groves signed a 30mil deal? The battle is for who's the back up!

you just wait til Al "stinky thumbs" Johnson comes into camp.

What battle? 30 mil pretty much answers that question.

You forgot Berger.

Maan, I like this story from Armando: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolp...ting-offensive-line-for-2009-is-complete.html

I hope we have a first class Oline like Armando thinks we might. It's been a while since we've had a full stable of high grade butt kickers on the Oline. :)

Isn't johnson a free agent...

We all saw with Wilford last year that money doesn't matter when it comes to who cracks the starting lineup so to say that the job is Grove's without a camp battle is silly. I personally do think Grove will win the job but don't say he'll start based just on what the Dolphins are paying him.

I agree totally. Theres no way you pay a guy 30 million and sit him on the bench. Hes gonna be the starter. Satelle could win a job at the right guard spot. Grove also has an injury history so it might not be a bad idea to keep Satelle for depth.

I think we will draft a center & the best of the centers will start

 

[PHINANALYST]

Johnson will have adequate time to fully heal ... remember, he was not fully recovered when we signed him last year -- so we'll soon know what his value is during mini camps.

Now if Johnson is still around ... he can battle it out with Grove

Satele willl be a back-up for both C & G ...

 

[RealDriscoll]

It's not a contest, Grove is the starting center

 

[RealDriscoll]

Samson will be dealt before the draft. I am hoping for an extra 3rd

 

[X-Pacolypse]

Grove will start. Satele will be the starting LG, and Al Johnson will still be looking for work.
