Center

Manny Ramirez: A+

Will Montgomery: D

Overall: C+

Ramirez was great. He was excellent in the run game the whole time he was on the field. In the passing game he was beyond excellent. He faced Watt in a 1v1 during a pass play and gave up no ground, keeping Watt in place. There were a few negatives, but his great play kept his grade up high. Montgomery continues to struggle. He has a hard time blocking and consistently getting beat in the run game and pushed back in pass protection. Better hope Ramirez does not go down, because Montgomery will not fill the void.
