I don't know when it will happen, but it will happen and this year. Bryan Stork is going to be the Pats Center by the time we get to December. Here's why.You cannot replace Andrews right now. This can be revisited in the offseason, but I think Stork can play some gaurd.
David Andrews has done a fantastic job. He's "done his job". However there is a reason he played for a top SEC team, was a 3 year starter, a team captain, and DIDN'T get drafted. David Andrews has maxed out his physical ability. He's not going to get much better. On the other hand, Bryan Stork is bigger stronger, quicker, and just as smart and hard working. The only way Andrews is still the starting C come the playoffs, is if there continues to be injuries at the G position, and Stork is needed there.
BTW- this isn't to diminish the job David has done. It is nothing short of miraculous that the Pats found him as a rookie UDFA, and he's done so much in his first 7 starts in the NFL He's done more than just held the fort, but he's still not the best C on the team, and given Stork's concussion history, we are luck to have him.
