Well after a bunch of just awful special teams snaps, one of which in part lost us a field goal that would have the game tied at the end instead of a loss, the Bears cut/waived Rookie UDFA long snapper Beau Gardner, and brought back our long time long snapper Scott Daly, activating him to the 53 man roster today.

Well deserved. Gardner is not ready for prime time. I do not know if they will resign him to the practice squad and keep developing him or not, but he might just as likely be just gone. I mean, they probably keep and develop him, but he is in no way ready to be an NFL long snapper. He's been awful both weeks.

He just wasn't ready which the brass gambled again and at least are adjusting. Roush may have been late off the snap and rumor has it Gardner was not snapping on the right count.

yikes. and for sure, Roush bears a lot of the responsibility for that too (and other things) but the snaps have been consistently high both weeks for Gardner.

And yes, they are both rookies. Roush will get his chance to grow, but I dunno where Gardner ends up.

Whats crazy is watching FGs, Kmet and Roush stay basically frozen. Looks like they are coached to not move their feet and only reach with arms. Now roush seems later for moving, but its both sides.

Video of clips

Kmet was also late on the snap - which implies in this case it was not Rouschs fault or maybe coaching. Or maybe it was seeing that video.

The last clip were the fg was blocked, Roush's side was over loaded. 4 Olinemen vs 6 D. The TEs cannot leave the wedge/wall and open a closer route to kicker. The TEs stay basically leg locked and use arm length to try and push the outside rusher. The snap, set up, and kick were just too slow and why they moved on to Daily?
