MM doesn't seem to have any problems with getting the ball cleanly. So why is Clausen having such trouble? It seemed to me the center was weak in getting it to him, but on the flip side even a second string center should have the ability to snap half way decent. I doubt it could be Clausens fault. (spedo pic jokes aside) I would like to believe that a guy thats had a QB coach sense the age of 10 would know how to recieve the ball cleanly. Thoughts?

thats what i'm saying... If something happens to kalil (god please don't let that happen) that could be a big problem for us. I hope the coaches are noticing it and are working on it, but so far in the past 2 games it has been a reoccuring problem.

last night put all the theories to rest... it is clearly the backup center. you weren't sure when Clausen was under center having trouble with snaps, but it became totally evident when that center started snapping ground balls out of the shotgun. every one of them were floated and clausen had to dig for them wasting a second of valuable time.

the guy should be cut or moved to guard. this is the NFL. they don't have these problems on most high school teams.

if he's looking at his shoes trying to dig the ball out of the dirt, he's not looking downfield at the receivers and defense seeing routes develop.

yep. i guarantee you when you watch the replay you will see how fast the defense actually closes in even with that half second delay.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
