Heitman does not get much push up front, so say open competition between him and Bass for the center spot this camp.. May the best man wn.
The biggest problem, and it is a BIG problem, is that if you move Baas to center, you have an inexperienced center between a raw rookie and another guy who was just beginning to come around in the final 4 games last year. That is not going to be a good situation.
Now, more than ever, the 49ers will need the experience, intelligence and the steadying influence of Heitmann at center to help Iupati and continue the development of Rachal.
