Mailbag question: Did not realize how important the center was

WOW, the center position is in trouble. Did not realize how important this position is and how you never talk about it until something goes wrong.

Were all the bad snaps the center’s fault or did the quarterbacks do something wrong.

Thanks for the question.

A former major college quarterbacks coach once told me that the quarterback and the offensive center can share any blame for a bad exchange.

Anytime a team is forced to change part of the exchange there is a possibility of problems. There were snaps yesterday that were not good, there were others where the quarterback either took his eye off the ball, or started running before he had the ball.

Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson both experienced snap difficulties on Saturday.

It is part of the growing process. With reps and experience we expect the problem to be fixed.

Now everyone can appreciate the consistency and skill of David Molk. But it is up to Moos to hold down the fort for a few weeks.
