Of all the problems Bruce Arians has to worry about preparing for the Green Bay Packers, the replacement for injured center Maurkice Pouncey isn't one of them.
"I got much bigger headaches than that," Arians said. "I trust him totally."
The reference was to Doug Legursky, an undersized center at 6 feet 1 who will start for Pouncey in Super Bowl XLV.
Not only will Legursky, listed at 323 pounds, be making his first professional start at center since signing as a rookie free agent in 2009; he will be lining against nose tackle B.J. Raji in the Packers' 3-4 defense. At 6-foot-2, 340 pounds, Raji is harder to move than a grand piano.
When the Packers switch out of their base defense, Legursky will have to help on defensive end Cullen Jenkins, who is probably their best run-stuffing lineman.
And Arians isn't worried?
Why?.............
