Lets see how they play on Monday, plus as i stated earlier, we also don;t know what we would get out of Karras at guard, but we know what we have with him at center.
Ford is our back up swing tackle that value is almost as high as finding a starting RG we can not count on Ford to play RG.
From what I seen so far out of Patrick is bad when you whiff and do not get a hand on a guy while playing RG is pathetic and will get Joe hurt.
Karras would be a lot better blocker than Patrick at RG I do not see Karras whiffing on a block from a simple swim move. It was not even a stunt which I also seen Patrick whiff on that was the play Joe got hit on in practice.
But yet we are three deep at center.
