I especially like his pass blocking.
Also, maybe not crap on 6th/7th round Centers, as Karras was a 6th rounder.
Miami starting C was a UDFA.
Chicago starting C was a UDFA.
Denver starting C was a 7th rounder.
Sometimes good players do end up coming from that late. It's not often, but it happens. You know this.
And I'm not saying I 100% am confident in Matt Lee being the answer at C, but I'd like to see him get some snaps if/when the Bengals get eliminated from playoffs.
At that point, nothing trying to play for the current season. It's all about seeing what you got and developing going into next.
I see what you're getting at, and at this point I totally agree with your last sentence. I just found it funny that a lot of us think the answer is just waiting further down the roster. Your knowledge of college players far exceeds mine, so I definitely have to defer on Lee. I do know that guys like Yoshi and Tate aren't and weren't the answer to any questions... Not that those are questions you asked.
