"You look at certain types of players in terms of 'What are their assets?' Quickness, moving feet, balance and body control are really assets of being a good center," coach Nick Saban said. "Playing with power is somewhere in there. So we have several guys on our team that we said 'OK, we're going to look at these guys at center.' And we want to know if we have other people besides J.C. and some of the guys that have played center here that could play in the fall because that will give us the best opportunity to put our best five offensive linemen on the field, whether they're playing tackle, guard or center. We feel like Ross has those attributes as a player. So he was a natural to be able to take a look at at that position." ...

One thing for sure CNS is still able to learn because it's not about position anymore, it's about getting the best 5 on the field at the same time no matter where they are at. RTR!
