I know centers are typically shorter and smaller than other members of the OL, but I was hoping Helms replacement was a little bigger and stronger. I can think of at least 2 SEC teams who had a huge DT that gave our center trouble, Bama and Ole Miss. I think someone with the strength of Hitt would be a better match than a smaller finese type center. I'm not saying I would prefer it to be Hitt, just that it would be nice to get a stronger guy to take Helms place. I don't expect the center that replaces Helm to be as polished, so maybe he could be physically more imposing. Would anyone fit that mold other than Hitt?
Based on that pic, I just hope he spends some time in the weight room working on those arms. Geaux Tigers
