When he isn’t trying to play on a severely sprained ankle, I think Airon is probably our most agile and athletic lineman.  That is his strong point.

I think his weakness is his brute strength.  He isn’t super strong, and can get overpowered at times by bigger defensive linemen.  I think his skill set is a lot more suited to playing OT than C.  He was abused all the time and spent a lot of time 3 or 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage when he played center.

That said, if memory serves, Servais lost a bunch of weight the summer before he was moved from C to OT, so he could be as agile as possible.  When Heckel went down and he was moved back inside, he was in the 270-275 range I think, and perhaps a lot of his struggles at center were a result of this.

Unless we find or magically develop another OT between now and the start of the season, I think this is a moot point.   I think moving him inside will really make us weaker at OT and frankly, I suspect he would be a significant downgrade over Froumy at C.
