How the heck do you snap the ball thinking the QB is under center when he is in shotgun?

Re: Duke Preston
He's a better center than Fowler but a) that's not saying much and b) Preston plays with his head up his ass.
If we could find a mad scientist to put Fowler's brain in Preston's body we'd ALMOST have an NFL caliber center.
The good news is that both of them are FA's this off-season, which will force the FO to do something about the position.

Originally posted by Dr.LecterBecause nobody else (RBs or WRs) told him to get up on the line.
Regardless, how did Preston not notice his hands not on his ass or that JP was not yelling signals out rigth behind him?
and those things aren't Preston's responsiblity. It probably was his fault...but you can't know for sure until they tell you that is the case. He's got a lot of things to do as the center doesn't he? Isn't he analyzing the line calls based on the defense for example?

Re: Duke Preston
Originally posted by Typ0my real point is...people see things and make various assumptions about what went wrong...but in many cases we have no idea what really went wrong or, in this case, where the miscommunication is. It's like the play calling. People see a play that doesn't work and they think the playcalling stinks...but how do they really know what play was sent in or what caused it not to work? They don't.
So, we don't know for sure that it was Preston's fault, but it doesn't look good for him given the evidence that we do have.

Re: Duke Preston
Because he is a bum that should have been cut 3 yrs ago. Preston is way to weak at the point of attack, and also is very slow and unathletic for a Center
He isnt as bad as fowler sadly so of course goin with the theme of the DJ years he starts hereXTRA CRISPY XTRA SAUCEY

Re: Duke Preston
We should get Wayne Gretzky to play Center for us. He was the best that ever livedI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Duke Preston
Originally posted by OpIv37given the two times he snapped the ball on the wrong snap count in the previous game, he hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt. Also, as bad as Fowler is, he never went on the wrong snap count or fumbled the ball by not knowing where the QB was.
So, we don't know for sure that it was Preston's fault, but it doesn't look good for him given the evidence that we do have.
