Theyhateme : ) Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 With McClure retired and Hawley drafted the Center position, does Konz and Hawley battle it out in camp for the position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftfield Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yes but I feel Hawley is going to need more than adderell to win that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-train Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've never been even slightly impressed with anything I've seen from Hawley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewcrew Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hawley will be the back-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyhateme : ) Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 That should be pretty cool to see SJax running through a line anchored by a guy like Konz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK13 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I sure hope they dont keep him at guard , didn't think he was to impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymadd Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I hope so cause Hawley is a back up and we limit Konz's skill set at RG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dErtybirdZ Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I really hope it is Konz who takes the reigns of center. He was the best center in college and i believe returning him to his natural position will blossom into a good to great center. Keep Hawley as a backup. But we should hire McClure as a coaching assistant so he can still be able to get that ring this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconstwopercentsized Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 That should be pretty cool to see SJax running through a line anchored by a guy like Konz...he's got some beast lead blocking vids from college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 If it works like I THINK it will work then I see the lineup being at the start of camp.Baker, Blalock, Hawley, Konz, Clabo... That will be at the start. But I think the lineup is going to be tinkered with with Konz taking center rep, Johnson and Reynolds also getting guard reps ( possibly at each spot). With Johsnon geting osome Center work in aswell.I think it is pretty safe to pencil in Baker. Blalock and Clabo as 3 set starters with Konz nearly a lock to start... it is just a matter of where he does.When I make it up to training camp that is the one battle I am going to focus on the most.

ssippifalcon Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah...I'm wondering if one year is enough to be able to call out blocking assignments or will Koetter leave that up to Ryan?i think konz can handling the calls because he played center in college, i dont see hawley starting anywhere on this line.

Jaymadd Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah...I'm wondering if one year is enough to be able to call out blocking assignments or will Koetter leave that up to Ryan?I am more afraid of Reynolds at RG than I am of Konz at Center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconstwopercentsized Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Up to matt and konz to call the proper protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSalmon Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Wonder if Johnson is in the mix? He was a really good prospect coming out of bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconstwopercentsized Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I am more afraid of Reynolds at RG than I am of Konz at CenterI think konz clabo or Holmes will allow Reynolds to look legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've never been even slightly impressed with anything I've seen from Hawley.He actually played pretty well in 2011 when he moved to guard. Nothing earth shattering but solid in pass protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightsaidfred Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The way I see it, Konz is 100 percent our starting center barring an ACL tear or possession of methamphetamine.Definitely. Konz will be the starting center. Hawley is a good swing guy - he can play mulitple spots and is a good backup/rotational guy. Konz struggled at G, and is better suited at C.

Jaymadd Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think konz clabo or Holmes will allow Reynolds to look legitI think think that makes a difference Reynolds still is weak as a run blocker and he struggles in pass protection against bigger DT's cause he struggles with maintaining leverage.

Mega Flare Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Konz is def'ly the starting C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I am telling you guys. You are sleeping on Hawley.He is going to get the chance.I think he, Reynolds, and Johnson are all going to be locked into a death match for the final Oline spot at eathc Guard or Center.

1989Fan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 i dont recall ever seeing anything from the coaches stating that Konz is moving to OC. I know it makes sense, which is why the talking heads are assuming it, but nothing official has been said.I just know TD said he saw Konz as a OG prospect in the NFL because of his ability to pull on running plays and get to the 2nd level.which is better:Konz (OC), Reynolds (RG)orHawley (OC), Konz (RG)(I am personally still crossing my fingers for Konz (OC) Johnson (RG)....i want him to be the RG he was hoped to be coming into the NFL. I was stoked when we got hm, not sure what happened besides injury.Back to the original 3, if we want strength I think Hawley is the strongest of the bunch. I think Konz and Reynolds are both tall with limited upper body power, but are good pass blockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
