Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 543247">"Wanting to get bigger" at center seems to be an annual thing.  McCarthy has expressed this desire going back to when Wells was the starter, to the evident aggravation of that player one might add.  And still, who are the guys we've had on the roster in recent years?Wells - 6'2", 302 lbs.Saturday - 6'2", 295 lbs.EDS - 6'2", 308 lbs.Gerhardt - 6'1", 310 lbs.Van Roten - 6'3", 303 lbsGiven that list, it's hard to know what to make of this "getting bigger" claim.There's been little done about it so it's difficult to take it too seriously.  On the other hand, if it's a matter of just not finding the right guy in that mold, then EDS certainly is not the kind of guy they'll want to hand a 4 or 5 year contract.Tretter may be the first bona fide effort to fulfill that promise.  He's listed at 6'4", 307 lbs., the biggest in terms of height/weight combination we've had in recent years.  A few cheeseburgers might get him to the "big" threshold; NFL centers tipping over 310 lbs. are in the minority.</blockquote>
