stuckincincy Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I think it's a lot easier though, and surely Moorman benefitted from the hard, quick, accurate snaps from Dorenbos. It's a small but very important element of both kicking and punting. You need to have a reliable one, and surely it would be good if a player did something else (like, say, if Preston was able to do it) but a good reliable guy like Schneck apparently is to do both is nice to have. 431293[/snapback] The B'gals long snapper is Brad St. Louis. He's listed as a TE but in his six years he's never been on the offensive field save kicks. He's relaible with the snaps, on fg's and punts. - in fact has 20 something tackles on ST. That's not much I know, but the job of the snapper is to do whatever to block for the punter. Getting a tackle is gravy. I'd be careful in ash-canning a good snapper.

brihs2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I don't mind the move, and maybe in order to ensure that he is here for the next few years we had to sign him otherwise somebody else would have, but i wonder about the fact that he has no time to build chemistry with moorman or the holder in the next week. It may not matter, but if i see a punt snap that goes to high or too low, or through moorman's fingers, i will really be bothered by this. That being said, i wonder if moorman was given a say on this roster move. Think TD and MM said, "We have a chance to get this guy, do you think it will make an impact on you in a negative way?"
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 So does this mean that Dorenbos was pretty much a one-trick pony? That's all for tonight, folks, you've been great, and try the veal.
stuckincincy Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 For a better one? That does both? 431317[/snapback] Pardon us dolts who could never arrive at that wisdom without your guidance. My point was, before you make a change in this critical area, be quite sure the replacement can do job #1 first. Especially for the Bills organization, who it pains me to say has not been one of the sharpest pencils in the box for a number of years.
Dr. K Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Have the Bills cut John Dorenbos as long snapper? The current roster lists someone named Mike Schneck as long snapper. A pickup from Pittsburgh? When did this happen?

Smoker2Buffalo Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 It's definitely sad to see Dorenbos go. I really hope he catches on with another team! Good luck Jon!
Dr. K Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 dorenbos 431419[/snapback] Sorry. I missed the thread below.

They seem to be grooming him as the "center of the future," and knew he was going to make the roster. If they could have had success with him long-snapping that saves a roster spot. Guess it didn't work out... Oh, well, if he doesn't catch on in the NFL will Dorenbos be the only player in the modern big-$$$ NFL to to jump from the NFL into a higher-paying gig? At least he got to play the game. Sorry to see him go, but that's business.
#89 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Another one bites the dust. That must have really stunk to him. Make it through the cuts and zap. Maybe our kicker tomorrow.
cåblelady Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Another one bites the dust. 431431[/snapback] They're dropping like flies. Leave Leonhard alone TD !!
#89 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 the cute ones are going, going, gone. Gee I just met Ross Tucher's Mom at the game. Poof
eball Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 apparently schneck has the best magic trick of all -- he made dorenbos disappear. truthfully, i wish dorenbos all the best. he has an amazing life story and has proven himself to be an incredible human being. i get the feeling that he will do just fine without an NFL job. best of luck, jon.
PTS Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Who the heck is Schneck, and does anybody know more about him... is he a stud field goal snapper to go with France our hopeful new kicker. 431202[/snapback] My guess is he's someone TD signed or drafted before and therefor must be better than anyone else.
Rico Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 First Haddad, now Dorenbos... oh the humanity of it all! Look at the bright side, you've still got Leonhard.
