He was moved to an unfamiliar position in a shortened camp and struggled as a rookie. That's no shock....but then to stick him back in where he didn't get many of the reps and expect him to just bounce back? Unrealistic. He got some meaningless snaps towards the end of the regular season because McCarthy and Campen wanted to get him some game reps. He wasn't taking snaps away from Newhouse. Just a good coaching decision. Of course, it was just bad luck that the dude's leg snapped. TeamTundra was spot on with the Mike Flanagan injury. That took him a while but he was a pretty good center for many years after recovery. Show of hands....how many of you EVER thought that Clifton would come back from his broken hip? I'm not worried about the leg injury to Sherrod. In fact, I often think that the time away is helpful to young guys because they can watch more game film and mentally prepare better for their next shot. I think that Sherrod has some promise, but I agree with FrankRizzo that the legs are the foundation of a OL and we'll see if he can fully recover.</blockquote>
