But Rivers thinks all is well because he didnt throw an int; so they must be good.
And we thought we have had problems at long snapper!
Raiders cant seem to do much right!
OMG - that was pathetic. I couldn't help feeling sorry for the guy who must have been on the sidelines muttering to himself "and on national tv to boot..." The other thing I thought is that this wouldn't happen to the Pats, who prepare for every conceivable situation, and here is where that kind of prep pays off (long snapper unexpectedly goes down).
There was a game versus the Colts where the Pats went for it on every fourth down instead of punting.
Turns out that was because Ken Walter(?) had been knocked senseless in the pregame warmups.
People will mistakenly fault the player - When the blame for each of those snaps lies directly on the coaching staff.
Definitely.
From the quick blurb I read it seems like the guy wasn't even really the backup. Just the guy that said he long snapped once in high school.
How the heck do you not have a second guy practicing long snaps? Every team has STers that should be able to do this. There's no way that guy had been practicing long snaps.
Makes you wonder what the Patriots would do in Aiken went down in a game.
Ninko has long snapped in practice, so he'd probably do it.

They would have been better served had they gone for it on 4th down, lined up in the shotgun, then had the QB quick-kick it.
Brady's done that at least once that I know of. Caused a fair amount of confusion on the other side as well.
Why wouldn't the regular center just long snap? At least he knows how to shotgun snap.
