Captain Hindsight Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Where did this guy even come from? Just out of nowhere the Bills pulled this guy from the scrapheap and made him a starter. You think the steelers or the patriots do this? Typical buffalo Ralph is so cheap he probably didn't even scout him and keeps him around so he won't have to pa a pro bowler And we have NOOOOOO DEPTH at this position. I hope Buddy has a replacement in mind before this guy costs us a game. Edited January 26, 2012 by Captain Hindsight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I don't really see him as a #1 long snapper, more of a #2 The best snappers can snap for both left-footed and right-footed kickers - - something Sanborn has yet to prove that he can do.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 You guys are ridiculous. Sanborn might not be the type of long snapper that can win games single-handedly, but Patrick Mannelly ain't walkin' through that door! Is Sanborn a franchise long snapper? No. Do we need to create yet another hole (one which we'd realistically have to spend a 1st or 2nd rounder to replace)? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsSD Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The only question is do the Bills go Kicker then Long Snapper or Long Snapper then Kicker.

Buddy could throw a curve ball and trade next years 1 to get a Punter as well in the first two rounds. Think about it. If the snap never gets to the holder, what role does the kicker even play? I'm all for drafting a long snapper #10 and then trading back into the 1st round for a kicker.

The Cincinnati Kid Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Listen, at least this Sanborn guy has yet to make a fatal mistake like that Trey Junkin did for the Giants in the early 2000's. So we got that going for us...which is good. Oh, and uh, Lama! How about something, ya know, for the effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uticaclub Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think long snapper if one of the few strenghts this team has. Moorman is no longer the all world punter he once was, we need to either use r pick at 10 to draft another one who can sit the bench and learn moormans work ethic or trade for lechler.

mob16151 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think we should trade our first round pick for the Patriots Long snapper, he's clearly a franchise guy.

I hope Buddy has a replacement in mind before this guy costs us a game. We do need a franchise long snapper. After doing a full rectal-statistical analysis, i determined that teams with franchise long snappers win trhe super bowl once every 8.36425 years, while teams without a franchsie long snapper win a super bowl every 4,726 years. it is imperative we devote all of our resources into finding a franchise long snapper.

He's a liability clearly It might be prudent to clear up this weakness now and find the right long snapper in the 1st round. You can't take a chance on missing your guy.

Matt in KC Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If there is a long snapper at #10 I say we grab him. PTR There are a couple decent long snappers that should still be there at the top of the second round. I'm tired of the Bills reaching in the draft. They should just sit tight and take the best remaining long-snapper in the second. I wouldn't even be opposed to them taking a chance on a high-risk high-reward type LS prospect in the late rounds as well. Let them compete in training camp and keep the best one. You build a strong team through competition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbosrrgood Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) What really concerns me is, who are our 2nd and 3rd string long snappers? This is really a position of need and we should draft one early for depth... If they are really good we could even put them both on the field at the same time to confuse the other team...We have to find a way to get all of the talent on the field together...

BillsRUs Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have heard that this isn't a long snapper deep draft class....and the guys who are have serious character issues. Do we want another marshawn Lynch character type long snapper? Dancing at the line before snapping? I say we go hard during FA for our franchise LS. Lord knows were only as good as our longest snap.

Fan in Chicago Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If there is a long snapper at #10 I say we grab him. PTR Not quite very far fetched. There is no such thing as a 'reach' to get a guy you really want. Ask Billy Cundiff if a good snap could not have helped him make the FG in last weekends game. That is the difference between waltzing at the big dance and sitting in your dark basement eating stale pizza with your friends. Top 3 Long Snappers in the draft Here are the top 3, do we think 1 will fall to us in the 2nd or do we take the top guy at number 10? See my comments above.
