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

Re: Duke Preston
The only reason the football didn't go up his ass on that play was because his head got in the way. What a ****ing embarrassment.

Because he's a friggin' brain dead, unthinking, oblivious member of a clueless team?Originally posted by yordadHow the heck do you snap the ball thinking the QB is under center when he is in shotgun?Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Duke Preston
how do you know JP didn't call an under center play and then line up in the Shotgun?Comment

Re: Duke Preston
Because 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?Originally posted by mysticsotoComment

Re: Duke Preston
my 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.Originally posted by Jan ReimersComment

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.Comment

Because unless it is so sore from the beating it has taken lately, he should be able to feel a hand on his ass.Originally posted by Typ0Comment

Re: Duke Preston
perhaps they didn't say anything to him because they assumed he was going to change the play.Originally posted by Dr.Lecter
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?Comment

Re: Duke Preston
given 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.Originally posted by Typ0
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.Comment

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 SAUCEYComment

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.
