Romberg, Incognito at center of competition

MEQUON, Wis. (Camp Day 7/early report)

A week into camp, the battle for the starting center’s spot — arguably the stiffest competition of the Rams’ preseason — is no closer to resolution. Brett Romberg has the edge, as he did coming into camp, but Richie Incognito still is very much in the picture.

Romberg has a bruised hand, which makes snapping the ball painful. So Incognito has been working with the first team for a couple of days.

“It’s too early” to make a determination, coach Scott Linehan said. “I think a lot of that is going to be determined in games, but I think it’s a very, very good competition. They’re outstanding individuals, which makes it very pleasant even though they’re battling for a job. You couldn’t find two better guys to compete against each other, because they help each other.”

Coach Magoo says ‘the competition for center is pleasant and nice because rommy and coggy help eachother’ how freaking lovely. Hey Magoo you beady eyed chipmunk. This isn’t boy scout camp. Text a real coach and get some advice before your next big merit badge is picking #1 in the draft.
Here is some free advice… get Incognito focusing on the T pos…. Keep Romberg focusing on C.

Incognito shouldn’t even be allowed to play in the NFL. He is just a thug. He got kicked off the team at Nebraska due to his dirty play.

Shouldn’t be allowed to play in the NFL? When has being a thug or playing dirty ever kept anyone out of professional football? For many it’s a prerequisite.
