I didn’t do my job well enough at center, and you know we’re not having a great start to the season and maybe this will spark us.”' … [Read more...] about Ennis moving from center to right wing

'“It’s been a while, but I like studying the game and learn new things,” Stafford said. “Over the years, it’s maybe been close to happening but with the lineups we’ve had, it’s just never come to fruition until now.
