Heard Nathan Zagura(Browns Radio) say yesterday that its "certain" & a "foregone conclusion" that Mack is leaving.....and happy to take less to do so......and, considering he broadcasts from Browns headquarters and can only say good things about the Browns, I trust he wouldnt say this if it wasnt true.....
so lets assume that Cam Erving will be our center next year......(and we'll hope he's better at center, than he is at guard)....
I love the radio show, and I feel bad for quoting it so often, but I heard it as well. However, everything I read about Erving before the draft said he was better suited to center or tackle. Yes, the reports said he had versatility to play "anywhere on the line", but we all know that guard was the position he played least. I watched him for several years at FSU, in fact, I watched him play every game. Hell, I remember when he started out on DEFENSE. Erving is a solid player with an elite skill set. Many people felt that way. My hope is that he'll excel at center, which I believe is possible. Erving getting his ass blown apart for a few games is actually not the worst thing on earth. Remember, this guy is well known as a hard worker, and he's smart. Knowing just how much stronger he'll have to get in the offseason will motivate him. Don't write him off guys, I know it looked bad. I know it looked REALLY bad...but he's young, and he's talented.
