The So Early It's Both Awesome & Stupid Thread- Pick the 53

Several year end evaluations mentioned that Goode was a bit erratic last year, although, to be honest. I didn't notice it. His downfield coverage has always been below par, I think. I wonder if it is feasible from a practice standpoint to have Linsley, who is reportedly a good long snapper, be the regular at that and the backup C.

Probably not. MM has said he doesn't like to use the backup QB because he can't be in two places at once, practicing with the O and with the punter or kicker. He would probably feel the same about the backup center.

I think you're completely wrong here, Patler. There's no reason Linsley couldn't do it, as long as he....

keeps it snappy.
