Oakland Press, Oakland, Ca
Offensive Line
Center
Wayne Rogers
It all starts here. The hands down, best center in the league starts his 4th year with the Assassins fresh off a new, 4 year, 23.94 million dollar contract. Starting every single game of his career(48 and still going), he will anchor the new and improved offensive line for years to come.
Left Guard
Chad Jerome
Acquired in the blockbuster trade with Vancouver for RB Wesley Connell, Jerome will man what was once, Oaklands weak spot in the offensive line. Paired with Rogers, Falkenberg, and Ingraham, should improve his play to a championship level and give RB Lomeli, plenty of choices to run through.
Right Guard
Johnny Ingraham
Aother of Oaklands "Rock" players, Ingraham has started 48 straight games on the offensive line and has developed into one of the premier guards in the IFL. Allowing 9 sacks his first year, he has cut that down to 3 in 04, and only 4 last year. This could be the year he finally recieves some credit for his hard work, has Oakland will lean heavly on him to give RB Lomeli some room to work in the new offensive.
Left Tackle
Gus Falkenberg
While he may never recieve awards, or be the player of the game, Gus Falkenberg does exactly what the Oakland coaching staff wants him to. He is a solid player who has improved every year, and does not get greedy come contract time. Gus is a perfect fit for this squad, and will continue to start at the LT position for years to come.
Right Tackle
Don Barnes
While he may not look like much, feel free to underestimate Mr. Barnes. Just don't be suprised if he puts you on your ass attempting to get by him! Allowing a staggering 9 sacks in his first year, he has improved in each of his past 2 years, only allowing 5 in the last 2 years, a mere two last year. Only missing 3 games in his career, he is yet another of Oaklands consistent front line that will protect Hamilton this year.
