Did anyone else notice the consistently high snaps in shotgun. Even excluding the 2-3 most egregious examples, all the snaps were consistently too high. Brady adjusted most of the time but it certainly cost us a few wasted downs. Something to keep an eye on since this can potentially lead to a game changing play if one of the snaps is any worse and misses Brady entirely. Not sure what the issue is here. Perhaps Brissett and Garoppolo were mostly under center and David hasn't had that much recent practice with shotgun. I don't know. I'm speculating.
 
At one point you could hear Brady tell him to do something different with his butt.

"Lift your butt up" or something like that. I think it's similar to the Catcher/Pitcher thing in snoozeball where the two need time working together to get in sync.
 
His shotgun snaps have been coming out high in almost every game this season, which is not something I remember last season. Brissett made a hell of a catch on one play last week and was able to hand it off to Blount just in time. He has played decently, but I don't know if I have been as impressed with him this season as I was last season before they inexplicably benched him once Stork was cleared. I really do like Andrews a lot and wanted him to be the starting C each of the past two off seasons, but something about his play seems different to me and not in a good way. I'm certainly not panicking or anything crazy, but I'll be watching him closely the next few games.
 
If you want someone with a lower snap, Danny Aiken is still looking for work. Although Giselle might not appreciate it if they're still planning on having some more kids.
