Having a wallflower at center is typically a bad idea because of all the communication responsibilities that come with that position.
Centers are usually the conductors of an offensive line, making the protection calls and adjustments before the snap. That is why it is pretty ideal that Ted Karras has embraced filling the leadership role for the Miami Dolphins’ rebuilt offensive line, which received a massive makeover this offseason because of last year’s struggles.
Karras, who left New England to sign a one-year, $3 million deal to join the Dolphins as a free agent, was signed to serve as Daniel Kilgore’s replacement on an offensive line that produced a franchise-low (1,156) in rushing yards, and a league-high 58 sacks in 2019.
