Linsley and the Shotgun

What was up (or down) with Linsley's snapping?

How many snaps did it seem that Aaron had to stoop down to get the snap because it was low? I'm very surprised one of them didn't lead to a fumbled snap. Aaron did an incredible job handling all those off the mark snaps.

Linsley better work on that a lot...I've never seen that happen before and never that often.

Aaron had to freeze for a second every time Linsley snapped it liked that.

You want to get it and step back not have to lean forward and down. Had to screw up the timing a little

Helped the Cowboys pass rush, too.

Clean that up!

I also saw that, all the snaps were just too low.

He had some slow motion snaps too. The ball needs to get back there quick

I'd like to hear an explanation for that. I've never seen anything like it in my 40+ years of watching football.

Surprised Aaron didn't go Geronimo on Linsley for continually snapping so poorly. Good thing he's not our long snapper. Mason would've had it blocked if he could've gotten a chance at all.

I think we all saw it and wondered what that was all about. It didn't seem to faze Aaron at all.

Anybody got a video/gif/etc of that "handoff" where the ball kind of bounces off Rodgers' hand and into Montgomery's? Looked weird as hell and I couldn't tell if it was a bad snap, a bad handle, Rodgers just wasn't ready for it, or what.

I'm just glad that the Packers seem to be getting lucky with a lot of those weird bounces lately.
