It's not a coincidence that the run game dropped off dramatically after Litch got hurt.
Litch will start Sunday if he's 100%

Lauvao was the much bigger impact loss at run blocking than Litch, even though Long has improved overtime this season. Look at the immediate games after Lauvo went out...staggering effect. Really good center? I don't really know about that, I think(hoping) maybe his poor play most of the season may have been a lingering injury. He's a tough guy, hope he can have the impact.
Any reason Long wouldn't be a center? I read of Long's potential at Center from a Keim article when he was drafted.
