…problems stem from long-snapping.

Ever tried it? It’s really hard.

I’ll hang up and listen to your thoughts.

Cowart broke hand in tussle Sat. night.
I agree that the bads snaps would affect the kickers focus. Hard to blame the snapper for our punt return game though.

I think it may be time to give Tausch a shot at starting K job

I would not replace Ruffer, 2 misses have been where timing was off due to lousy snaps and third was 49yds.

Yeah. I think Ruffer is part of the problem, but a small part. I’m not even sure the blocked kick is on him.

Ruffer’s miss against USF was all him. Simply pulled it. He has had a few bad snaps that have certainly affected timing/operation, but he has also just sucked at kicking a few times. The block wasn’t on him – terrible blocking at the LOS. He didn’t get it up super quickly but I think it’s blocked regardless in that case – our line just let the dude through.

I wonder about the blocked FG, because of how short the FG was. It looked like it was blocked by a guy just jumping at the line of scrimmage.

I feel like I’m remembering him practically thru the LOS. But, maybe I am misremembering.
