    How does a center lead the team in penalties?

    Per the article: "The Jacksonville, Florida native impressed in pass protection a season ago, allowing zero sacks and one QB hit in 376 opportunities, leading the veteran center to a pass block grade of 74.1."

    My guess is that he got away with a lot of holds and got caught holding a lot.

    Also, the article notes our dominant running game and the OL being a strong point. The numbers may point to that, but it seemed to me that when we had to pick up 3 on 3rd down, we'd get 2. I dunno, I could be wrong, that's what I recall.

    I think Wanne nailed it, although I haven't looked up all of his penalties.
