As far as the center competition, Shepherd said things haven't changed much when Chad Lindsay took over following Kelly's injury.

The OL started playing better about the time Kelly got hurt and Lindsay started playing. Maybe it is coincidence but I don't think so. Shephard gave the best answer he could. No need to talk bad about a teammate.

If Shepherd doesn't do a better job he could lose his.
