Who will be the starting center next yr?

[GoColts8818]

I'm just trying to dispel the myth that his head bob was tipping the snap count. Some here blew it way out of proportion and acted as he was the reason why the entire line sucked. It annoyed me because it had absolutely nothing to do with anything. Satele didn't play well last yr., there's really no disputing that, but the notion that his head bob was the reason for his poor play was just sillyness. I don't think Satele is as bad as some made him out to be, I do think he needs to get stronger and if we can get better talent at both guard spots, I think he can be a good center. I'm willing to give the guy a chance to prove himself next season if we do get that better talent. Then If he still plays badly, then he should be pulled in favor of Shipley.

i was going to say Saturday did it and no one ever brought it up then that's why I never understood the out rage over it this season.

Not one of you mention that Shipley is an UFFA. Doesn't that play into this ? Things like what wil it take to resign him ? If we hve to pay low range starting center money , would the Colts even think about keeping both ?

For lucks sake it better be shipley

He dont but he can get to the second level with relative ease and is always looking for someone to hit, Whats more concerning to me is not that hand punch because he gets caught leaning forward off the snap of the ball, like he is late out of his stance or something and that makes him an easy target for an opposing NT to just throw him out of the way or smaller DT's to use a swim move and blow right by him

I think he plays on his heels why he gets out stance late and off balance

people really tend to just over look the fact he payed hurt just about all of last year. I am not saying Satele would have been a great center last year but I am willing to admit that injury probably had a bigger impact on his performance than most care to admit. I am interested to see what he can do fully healthy. If he doesn't preform then we can go to Shipley.

I don't want none of them I like my center with longer arms am big hands to be able to punch and attach with out having to give leverage due to short arms

i did like shipley more then statale. i say keep shipley at center and move statale to guard
