Re: Josh LeRibeus pick 3.8
 

i dont think leribeus is going to play center for us, unless we shuffle the line due to injuries. i think its more likely theyre just giving him some looks at center to see how he does and give him some experience there. i see him competing for a starting guard position.

Given that o-linemen tend to play well into their mid to late 30s, I would say that it is difficult for a 3rd year tackle to be consider the leader of the o-line, let alone the offense. When I think of o-linemen who were leaders of their units (and the team) I think of guys who have been around for a while like Jeff Saturday or former players like Jonathan Ogden.

Third-round pick Josh LeRibeus spent almost all of his time working at center, after having played guard at SMU. His college coach, June Jones, said that’s the position he ultimately thinks LeRibeus will play because of his smarts. “He picked it up in one day like he’s been doing it his whole career,” Shanahan said.

Maybe we'll have several leaders on offense...so Trent can be a joint leader. :Smoker:

My guess he takes over the Center job and keeps it unless he gets hurt. I liked Montgomery cause he was better then Rabach but this kid sounds better at Center then Montgomery. I'm more concerned about the RT position right now, if Brown is the man he better be ready to play instead of him playing 1 or 2 games then getting reinjured.

He has the body and mentality to play C.

I think kory moves to center and libereus plays guard. Kory is better at center and you don't want a rookie qb and center

Re: Josh LeRibeus pick 3.8
 

We still need to see this guy play in pads against other teams and our own team before we can say that he was a solid pick by our FO.


I'm still cracking up about some of the responses our fans had when we drafted him.."Guys, what the hell did we draft?" hahaha. Whether he's a bust or not, atleast we all got a good laugh out him and his story.

I'm talking next year and beyond. This year I think Josh L. is a backup at center/guard.

Re: Josh LeRibeus pick 3.8
 

I think Kirk Cousins is so good and talented, he'll be pushing RGIII and LeRibeus for a spot at their starting positions. Yes, Kirk can hike it to himself and still throw. Kid is that goood!




That link on Trent. Not buying it. Making a mistake is a one time thing. Failing 4 drug tests is a habit and stupidity. Won't believe him till he's gone the rest of his career without a suspension.

agree, I wouldnt expect much from McRib this year, but I expect him to have that versatility to play either G/C in Shanny's system. We still have major injury concerns with Kory L and Jamal Brown. Regardless of what Shanny has said about Brown, Im not gonna believe it until I see his play on the field. Compton could have the most impact of our olinemen draftees.
