"There's two main components that a center needs to have, and it's not quickness or agility or snapping or anything. It's two things: One, he has to have a good height, and I'm talking about where his butt rests. It can't be too low because I don't wanna get deep in that stance and it [...]

As for the butt height thing, that largely has to do with the Center stance more so than his height (though their height can play a part as well). I mean I've seen short guys with their natural stance with their butts high in the air and I've seen tall lineman in a crouch like stance with their butt real low.


As for the swing 6th lineman, I keep reading that it's open for grabs because of the Tretter injury...

I'm not sure why so many thought Tretter had that locked up. The OL coach said he's never seen nor knows if Tretter can play center so no reason to think he had that swinging 6th linemen job over

Bakhtiari (who was drafted higher)
Barclay (who looked alright last year)
and others.

As for as who can be that back-up Center person, they're been having Barclay practice at RT, RG and C... sounds like ever so often he's having troubles with the snaps though so he's probably not ready for Center. Though Mike McCarthy said Lang can play Center so maybe he could be Center back-up and the best back-up to OG can be the swing guy.

Also you got Van Roten who was called up shortly after the season started.

And some UDFAs from this year...

Forgive me for asking what might be a dumb question, but which is considered better? a higher butt or a lower butt? In depth analysis, round pegs in square holes ....... the whole discussion is gross enough to make a person want to just go with a shot gun. Next they'll be talking about how wide their stance is hahahaha ..... eeeeww.

It can’t be too low because I don’t wanna get deep in that stance and it can’t be too high so I feel like I’m standing up. It’s gotta be just right
