Hey Fella, you might be lined up wrong
In the podcast episode above historian Timothy P. Brown explains a positioning of the center where he snapped the ball while facing the backfield. I thought I read it wrong and was thinking Tim may have lost his marbles when he came out with this entertaining post back in late September. But there it was, the research post fillled with diagrams, newspaper accounts and news photos of the reverse center. Check out the original article on Tim's pages:
