BillsRUs Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 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?   Without having clicked on your link, I can safely say that these guys are system long snappers. Theres no wayy they would survive NFL snapping duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sanborn wasnt even being considered for the MVP this season. What a joke, Ralph is soooooo cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I know Buddy is very much into measurables, and many of the top rated LS's this year just have too short of arms... it has to be considered that the LS's have to be able to reach the ball if it's on the ground, right? I'm just hoping we don't reach for a workout warrior LS who snaps through a brick wall, but can't remember the playbook to save his life. ST's coaches are running more and more complicated snapping plays, we need a guy who can show he has it between the ears, gotta get at least a 35 on that Wonderlic!

T master Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 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.  Man i read one of your replies earlier & this post & apparently reading comprehension is not a strong suit or you just look on here when your pissed & need something to complain about !!  Garrison Sanborn was sign like 3 or 4 years ago we had already had a long snapper & Sanborn if my memory serves me correctly (which it has a tendency to fail me now that i've hit 50) but i think we got him from the Noles . He was a very good pick because of his specialty & you would know that if you paid attention . :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandemonium Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Did we see any good long snappers this weekend at the combine? 40 times? Bench press? Long snapper won't matter until until we get a franchise waterboy. That kid that got hired because his grandpa is friends with Buddy is an OK stopgap, but his 40 time makes him more of a #2. He just can't get out to the huddle with those bottles fast enough during timeouts, and our players not being sufficiently hydrated is a key reason why we always have so many guys on IR IMO.

auburnbillsbacker Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Josh Harris of Auburn would be a great pick up with the 10th overall pick. While long snapper is a position not typically taken in the top 10, he is the best player available. Also he has a lot of experience and plays in the South, both of which will impress Buddy.

sanmateounpaidbills Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 In order to get to the next level, we need to bench Sanborn for the 2012 season and start Brian Brohm at long snapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinWPB Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Isn't Sanborn signed thru 2014? i know that the Bills front office is secretive about the players contracts ,but does anyone know how much of his contract is guaranteed? Cutting him could result in a 2012 cap hit that would limit who we could sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
