Think it was Madden that routinely said if one wants their kid to have a good chance at making it to the NFL teach them to be a long snapper. It's a skill possessed by few at any given time.
I wish I’d known that when I was a kid. I was a C but also LS on my teams in HS/college. I must have done a few hundred snaps in games (at least) and there was only 1 bad one. Once you know how to do it, you’re pretty much locked in. As long as the ball is always delivered to the hands of the holder or punter there’s no reason to tinker with your technique.
It’s been painful watching this ****show, and it’s been going on all season. It just became super-apparent this week.
That worm-burner snap should never, ever happen in a game, at practice, wherever. Never. But, here we are…
If only I were half my age, I’d ask to try out. 🤣
PS - old guy question: do any NFL starting centers double as LS? I ask because snapping in shotgun is basically the same as a FG. It’s a common skill. Adjusting to snapping punts isn’t a big stretch. So why do teams have LS specialists?

4 pages on a longsnapper is never a good sign
Ethan Allbright became a human meme and I bet he didn’t get 4 pages

I'm glad he's here as I want them to lose out.
But him still being on this roster is a serious indictment of Rivera's judgement, considering he is actually trying to win.
He’s a danger to the kicker, holder and punter. If you **** up on a punt or a FG they can get hurt.
After some of the **** snaps this season, Cheeseman should be feeling really bad. They really need to find someone else - someone consistent.

Ron will be out coached by the bye.
Both he and EB made absolutely zero adjustments to the game plan even after the bye dropped a quick 21 on them as a result of three DC three-and-outs.

Given the dog**** excuse for an OL I’m consistently amazed at how productive Howell can be.
A weak link or two in OL is bad but not insurmountable. A good QB can still make that work. When then entire unit is the weakest link, it’s a special QB that can still be productive despite being under constant pressure.
Having an OL as weak as ours limits what the entire offense can do and makes it much more predictable.
I honestly think it’s amazing how well Howell has done this season, and even more amazing that he hasn’t had a season- or career-ending injury.
I also like his very short memory and ice-in-the-veins approach. He really can’t be shook.
We might move on from him but I’d love to see him with an OL that has 2 or 3 real starters (or even 5). I hope he stays and keeps progressing.
Hail.

Off topic but where is the best/cheapest off-site parking? Looking to bring my daughter to the game this week.
Prediction:
Skins - 20
Fins - 34
What did she do wrong? 🤪

ES - have a scroll through this topic and be amazed, as I was, by how many of us (me notwithstanding) came incredibly close to the final score. Well done ES!!!

Probably being sarcastic I think. This coaching staff and FO would. A competent one doesn't.
Sarcasm is all I have left after being a Skins/Team/Commanders fan for nearly 50 years. 😞

Always pumped for a top 5 pick. Hopefully they don't screw it up this time, because you should get an All-Pro with that pick(aka Bowers).
C’mon man. This team will draft a long snapper with that pick.

I would have found someone who could find the right football people, then gotten the **** out of the way. 😀
If only I was an incompetent idiot who got incredibly lucky once, I too could’ve ****ed this franchise up beyond redemption and made you all hate me too. 🤪

Isn't it odd to hear a player call out coaches? Whatever happened on the sideline is probably connected to his answer, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
In this case it’s good to hear him call out coaches since they are by and large total garbage.

Happy birthday @MassSkinsFan! Don’t let these dead men walking bum you out
Sadly it’s a birthday I share (including the year) with someone I despise. Any ideas who that might be?

Thanks for the laugh.
I’ve been steaming all night. ****ing Commanders. And it’s my birthday too you useless ****s!!! 😡
But this makes me laugh. I was in a band that did a lot of touring and played tons of shows. One time we played a showcase where colleges come to see acts they might book. This guy was on right before us. It was a real Spinal Tap moment.
Thanks again! 🙂

Every Dallas possession results in a TD and all take 6 plays or fewer. Every. Single. One.
Sam is pulled to avoid injury and Dallas feasts on Briskett.

I mean they could go the Indy route and just hire Kerrigan to take it over. **** it, why not? Then again, he’s more qualified than Saturday. So we may need to go and get LaVar Arrington to do it.
Unleash the Sex Dragon. Bring in Rex “**** it - I’m going deep!” Grossman as HC.

Not sure why they didn’t get to the line and spike it.
Clock management and Rivera. Name a more iconic duo.
Does he know how many TOS he has per half?

I just turned it off and said **** this ****.
I’m sure lots of people did the same but this is the first time EVER for me.
Please blow this clown show up.

Howell goes 52/58 for 475 yards, 7 TDs and 0 INT. Adds another rushing TD.
JDR’s amazing defense just can’t stop the Giants and gives up scores on several drives with less than 5 plays each.
Poor clock management ultimately does us in when we squander 3 TOs in the 3rd quarter and then run out of time as Howell leads a late drive.
Final:
NYG 59
Wash 56

THE STATE OF THE FRANCHISE POLL 2024: PRE-DRAFT EDITION v.1.0
in The Stadium

Great poll CITR - thank you!!!
One minor quibble: the list of movies does not include the all-time classic (and my favorite) Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
