PromoTheRobot Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 players can get injured in a 5 game schedle just as much as a 20 game schedule, Its the way the game is All I could think of after urbik got hurt and levitre took over was How bad is Garrison Sanbourn, the long snapper, after basically all their snappers/centres go down, he still never got the call to go in? They could have come up with a new style offence where they basically run a fake punt/field goal every play Long snappers are a specialized position. They aren't hired to block. Their skill is passing a ball 15 yards between their legs. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR And RG's aren't hired to snap the ball to the QB. Like I said, line the QB up 15 yards downfield then and "Fake punt/Fg" the rest of the game. Even if he can't block, it will give the QB enough time to attempt a pass It would have to be better then taking a guy like Levitre who has never snapped a ball in a game before take over the spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Anyone else seeing a problem with an 18 game season? If players want their already ridiculous salaries to increase, and the owners want more money as well, the only solution is more TV revenue which means more televised games that count. Simple. Does that mean more injuries? Probably. But that doesn't matter. Only more money does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdBlueNorth Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I was originally down on Fitz for having problems with the snap, but after hearing about Hang and Urbik going down it makes a lot more sense. I guess Fat Pat is still making us pay for letting him walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 And RG's aren't hired to snap the ball to the QB.

Many gaurds get reps at center. Your idea of using Sanborn and snapping the ball 15 yards deep on every play is absurd to say the least. Levitre had been working some at center in practice. It was baptism by fire but that is just the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllDayADay Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 All i could think of when Hang and Urbik went down was that I wish Wood was playing. Hopefully we see him at center next week. Urbick is new to the system, I doubt they gave him practice snaps at center. He is a guard/tackle from what ive read. Hope our real backup center and center of the future plays next week!
