Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 After watching Buffalo lose a huge game to the damn Patriots, there is a fair amount of criticism to go a round. We have been exposed, most players we thought were good actually stink, and former HCOY candidate McDermott shouldn’t be allowed to coach a Pop Warner team. Those things mentioned, how does our long snapper Reid Ferguson get let off the hook so easy? There were several times when Corey B had to move his hands a foot in either direction to receive the football on Reid’s horrible long snaps. These errant snaps clearly impacted the time with which Corey had to get the punt off. The velocity of his snaps also leave something to be desired. It’s time to hold Ferguson accountable! Is it time to move on? Do we just go for it on every 4th down? As long as we’re lamb basting the entire team, what about Reid? 6 3

When’s the last time Reid made a probowl? How hard can it be for a long snapper? I really think we’re overlooking a major team weakness here.

It's why Long Snapper is a position that can't be overlooked. It's not like these QBs and kickers that have the easiest jobs with no pressure.....

thebandit27 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 This post was already a gem in my book. The fact that you snuck in my all-time favorite dogism, "lamb basting", just makes this next level. 2

It means a quality or state of being mediocre. It stems back to Greek mythology when Zeus would criticize Ambrosia (god of food and wine) for over cooking the lamb. Yeesh...don’t you people speak American?!
