Sendlein "Very, very underrated, He's as solid a center as I've been around"

[BigRedRage]

"Very, very underrated," Arians said. "He's as solid a center as I've been around in a long time."

After signing as undrafted free agent in 2007, Sendlein was just hoping for a career as a practice squad player but earned a spot on the 53-man roster when Al Johnson went down in the season opener on "Monday Night Football" against San Francisco. Sendlein was inserted into the lineup, played in 12 games that season and basically hasn't left.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Cardinals have employed 27 other offensive linemen since 2007. The most stable portion of Sendlein's career was his first few years in the league. According to the Cardinals' media guide, the usual starting offensive line was the same from 2007 to 2009, with the exception of one change.

What a player. Remember when he was bleeding so badly he couldn't snap the ball and didn't come out?

Is he the only oline man from the SB team still In the NFL?

That's crazy to hear with all the changes that have been done to the oline over the years. He's the only original guy left from the SB days.

He's been very average for years now. We have had too many other problems on the line to replace him.

I don't think BA would settle for average if he could upgrade. Yet I don't see a lot of centers rolling through town on a consistent basis.
