    Essentially the same as a fumble right?

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

      What I meant by that is the center's status is largely determined by the players around him -- a center on a good team may not be as good as Meester but he'll be perceived as better because he benefits from having a better supporting cast.

        Unless it is a "Planned Loose Ball" in the vicinity of the snapper.
        at least by NCAA rules. don't know about the NFL rules on the matter.

          Brad started at LG his first three seasons in the NFL before moving to center.

          Reading his stats on there is impressive. He started his first 92 career games before he finally missed time due to injury. He didn't miss a single offensive SNAP in three of his first five seasons.

          It was nice to see him play on Monday night, the Jags aren't on TV too often around here. I thought he and the offensive line actually played pretty well (except the one play when he snapped it on the wrong count!) but Jacksonville just has almost no offensive weapons at the skill positions. MJD is still pretty good but teams just stack the line against him now.

          Brad is as good of a guy as he is a football player. Glad to see him doing so well and I hope we'll see him for a few more years yet. Congrats to him on setting the Jags franchise record for most starts.
          It's my kind of team, Charlie. My kind of team!
