judging from kromer's remarks after the trade, it looks like the rams view him more as a center....
"I think obviously he's athletic to play guard, but he bends well enough to play center," Kromer said. "
When we worked him out, we had him at center up at the college. He really moved down the line of scrimmage really well, he was athletic to the second level."
and at least from kromer's point of view, the clevand blocking scheme is very differnt from that of the rams.....
"Coming out of college, Austin, we thought was a good athlete a good college player," Kromer said. "For whatever happened in Cleveland where he hasn't had the production that you thought, we're excited about having him. We think he's a big athletic guy and we're going to try to wean him into the offense and see where he can fit and see if his athleticism fits us better than it did the Cleveland Browns. We have high hopes for him, but at this point being new
and they really don't use the techniques that we do, so it will take a little bit of time I believe. Hopefully we can get him helping us sooner than later."
my guess is that corbett will battle allen for the center spot.
