Cade Mays out a "significant amount of time"

I’m guessing Cade didn’t F up his wrist by running hills and wind sprints… but I’m no doc.

What it says to me ultimately is we can’t count on him being healthy this year. So where does that leave us? Do we make a trade? next man up?

This is a significant blow for sure. Even when he comes back, he won’t be near what he could have been in terms of football shape. You don’t just step back in at the center position and be ready for battle.

I could have it backwards, but I thought he got moved out of Center for not doing well.

Not at center. Rat to center and Frazier to RG might be the move. I had little confidence in Scruggs for backup C. As a starter?

Yes understood. I guess what I meant is moving Ratledge to center and having Frazier move to Guard if needed.

I dont want to move Tate. He needs to focus on being a guard.

Seth, Scruggs, Niese seem to be in competition to start.

I don’t want to move him either. But more so I want the best 5 guys to start.

Time for Seth McLaughlin to step up in my book. He should be healed; is a young guy who had success in college at Center. With Scruggs dealing with soft tissue, he’s been handed an opportunity on a silver platter. I hope you are up to the challenge young man!

I just read Seth was taking first team reps this morning.

Dan Campbell also said they’re eventually going to get Tate Ratledge some reps at center in case they need him to play that position.

Im sure they will find a Center. Keep Tate at guard.

78

Where was jack campbell? He is the bone breaker linebacker.. was he involved this time?

79

The silver lining is the team has 34 days to figure out the best fits.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up Marty. I don’t know if they will find a better option than Tate, Juice, or Seth…

People don’t let go of centers easily. It’s a thin NFL position.
