Rooting for Alex Mack
-
Im really looking forward to watching this kid develop i had never heard of him before we drafted him but i watched a lot of game footage of him and seen him as what most scouts think is the choice pick for center of the decade..he seems to be doing very well in the voluntary camps i think he was a worthy pick in a vital position fraily cant handle well...

Dustin Fry, center from Clemson, working with the first team this afternoon.
Per OBR Tweets from the camp.

How many times does it have to be explained. Mangini doesn't have a 1st team 2nd team ect mentality at this point in camp. he puts 5 guys out there together and sees how they work together.Good lord I am begining to hate technology....
Dude, nobody is upset or worried, its just some camp stuff. No biggie. We get it.

At first I didn't like the pickup, to be honest I never heard of the guy. But after seeing the film, I love this pick. I like Fraley he's a good dude, but he was a weak link. I think this pick just bolstered our line for 5+ years.

As expected, Mack has struggled a bit but had a solid practice today. I haven't seen him in any of the groupings as a guard. I think the feeling is he has enough on his plate learning to calls the center position.

Mack is the human drill, though he wouldn't fit many finesse offenses.

First off, thanks for deleting my user name assbags
I am a huge Cal Berkeley fan and I am pretty pleased Mack ended up in Cleveland. I think he will be the center you guys were expecting from that kid from New Orleans a few years back.
They guy is absolutely awesome in both the run and pass. He is a big reason why Cal's running game has been so strong. He plows holes big enough for me to gain five yards a rush! Okay, maybe not that big...
Has he been annointed the starting center or is he battling for the spot? Have they tried sticking him at guard?
Looks like we are playing again this year. đ„·

Hey, I didn't delete anything- good to see you back. I'll be surprised if Mack isn't the starting center by opening day.

Yes Mack will do fine and Hank will be a good back up. Its good to have depth.

Wednesday morning:
- Rookie C Alex Mack had a nice pancake block on DL Shaun Rogers

We still need a RT for the future

I hope we cut Hank because Hadnot can also play center
-
To anyone who has attended camp, has Mack been playing much guard and if so how has he been doing?
Now that Hadnot could be out of the picture, What if the best combo is Fraley, Mack at C, RG.
Right now my guess is Thomas, Steinbach, Mack, Tucker, St. Clair, but I was just wondering about Mack at guard.
-
How's Mack coming along? Wish we drafted him... even at #7 over DHB. Shoot..!
-
Sports Illustrated has Alex Mack as first half of the season afc all-pro!
-
You better leave your hands off his package . He will tell on you . lol

mack looks to be exactly what the browns were looking for in a center
hank fraley was above average but mack is quickly becoming one of the better centers in the league
i wouldnt say top 10 yet but he is a top 15 and is getting better and better
it helps to have steinbach next to you but he isnt getting a whole lotta help from the right side

Theres 32 teams in the NFL being the 15th best Center would make him average, that he is not my friend. Top 5 and probable the 2nd or 3rd best center in the AFC is what Mack has been. Also look for him to make the pro bowl as an alternate behind Mangold. Are you serious about the right side of the line? Have you watched the last two games? Ever since Sh!tclaire got hurt and Womack moved to right tackle and with the emergence of Yates at right guard crushing people, its been pretty solid, in fact the NFL network did a playbook show this week with a snipet of how well Billy Yates and the line had been playing! No offense but you're a Saints fan who knows very little about this team advice to others is not recommended if you don't know what you're talking about bro.
Heres an article to what John Madden thinks about this Oline..

John Madden recognized the Browns offensive line as the Madden Most Valuable Protectors for Week 9.
CINCINNATI, OH (November 10, 2010) â For the second straight game, the Cleveland Browns offense used a poised, confident and physical ground-oriented attack to take down one of the leagueâs elite teams, earning an impressive 34-14 victory over the New England Patriots Sunday afternoon. The Browns offensive line now joins the list of this yearâs contenders for the 2nd annual Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award, presented by Prilosec OTC. The award honors the NFLâs best offensive line and will be presented during the week of Super Bowl XLV which will be played on February 6, 2011 in North Texas.
The Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award recognizes the fundamental role offensive linemen play in their teamsâ success by providing consistent and reliable protection day in and day out, just as Prilosec OTC provides 24-hour heartburn protection when used as directed. For more information on the Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award presented by Prilosec OTC, visit www.MaddenProtectorsAward.com.
The Cleveland offensive line is anchored by tackles JOE THOMAS (Wisconsin) and FLOYD WOMACK (Mississippi State). Guards ERIC STEINBACH (Iowa) and BILLY YATES (Texas A&M) provide the interior blocking while center ALEX MACK (California) is in his second season. Rookie guard SHAWN LAUVAO (Arizona State) also saw action Sunday. GEORGE WARHOP is in his 2nd season as the Browns offensive line coach.
Two weeks ago, Cleveland used solid defense and offensive trickery to defeat the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, 30-17. Sunday, running back PEYTON HILLIS (Arkansas) bulldozed his way to a career-best 184 yards on the ground on a career-high 29 carries to help the Browns defeat the New England Patriots, who entered the contest with the leagueâs best record. Clevelandâs offensive line was particularly impressive in the second half, with Hillis carrying 18 times for 111 yards and a 35-yard touchdown. Browns quarterback COLT McCOY (Texas) was 14-for-19 for 174 yards and did not commit a turnover. McCoy efficiently directed his team to scoring drives in each of the four quarters to help Cleveland record their most impressive victory of the season. The Browns offensive line was sound throughout the game helping achieve season highs in points (34), first downs (22), total yards (404) and dominate the time of possession (38:08 to 21:52). The Browns offensive line did not allow a sack Sunday and committed just one penalty. Cleveland scored rushing touchdowns in each quarter and added field goals on their first drives of the first and fourth quarters.
âClevelandâs offense is starting to click now as the line is creating the space needed for Peyton Hillis to pick up big chunks of yards at a time,â said Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach JOHN MADDEN. âYou can tell how much the Browns offensive line is growing together and becoming more physical and confident with each passing week in both their run blocking and pass protection.â

off the top of my head i can name a few centers that are better than him and thats why i cant put him in the top 10 just yet
i know he is good and it wont be long before you group him in with the birks and mangolds but in his second year i just think its too early
im not saying hes the 15th best center....im saying that he is within the top 15 without question but its debatable to put him in the top 10 IMO
-
Off the top of my head i can think of one maybe two in the afc. Youre right Mangold of course and maybe Matt Birk who is getting old. Macks in his second year and is right there with these guys. Are you talking about Pouncey from Shittsburgh? Cause he is up and coming but still young and inexperienced so you'd maybe have an argument there. But we're talkin about the Mack truck. Hes been rollin over people all year.
