Yes that is relevant but I doubt they signed him to replace Bellore instead of Evan Brown. He will likely compete with Olu for C not for the vacant FB position.
So we have two below average Centers competing with each other to recreate another below average middle of our offensive line. I am far from excited about that. Wasn't going after you, more the signing. Love my Huskies, but he hasn't exactly turned heads. Maybe they think the injury hindered him last year? But it seems regardless of what strategy we use, high priced free agents, early draft picks, scrub free agents, late draft picks...you name it? Our Line is mediocre. I am hoping that the new regime and coaching staff can affect that trend. But this signing isn't the one gonna get me all fired up about next year.

Tired of the excuses for why our QB can't get it done. Constant bitching about the O Line here. Constant. The Geno apologists are almost as bad as the "Let Russ Cook" guys. I was hoping for a splash, and this aint one.

Excited a bit about the Harris signing. Yes, another undersized center, but you have to consider the offense and playcalling. Nick came in as a 2 or 3 star recruit and started for Huff as a true frosh - that almost never happens, especially for interior OL. In Huff/Grubb offense you have a lot pulling linemen, traps, and counters, not just straight-ahead drive blocking. Obviously the former is much better suited to the likes of Harris and previous Hawk centers Austin Blythe, Kyle Fuller etc. whom I dare say could have fared better in such a system. Creates competition with Olu, who maybe moves to G if Harris looks good at C. At any rate, this is now one less need position you absolutely have to address in the draft, between the two of those guys.

Crazy that Joey Hunt at 6'2" 299lbs is undersized. Harris is 6'1" 293lbs.

Pocic is 6'6" 320lbs...

Anyone remember Melvin Jenkins? I thought he played for the HAWKS in the Hasselbeck era but he played in the late 80s and is 61 years old. lol
