Kevin, I would hardly call Snyder an "experienced center." He was going to probably play center for us before we signed Goodwin, and Baalke went out and signed Goodwin for a reason: Snyder was basically a make-do center. My feelings about it, trying to be as objective as possible, is predicated largely on last year, when he was on one of the worst OLs in the league, and they released him. When a team with a bad OL doesn't keep you, that says to me he wasn't playing at a very high level. But in theory he will compete with Kilgore and Looney, and whoever plays best will get the job.

One thing I am still coming to grips with is we have a coach and GM who know what they are doing and deserve our trust.
