Look at it from the 28 second mark. How is that on Brendel?
Look at where JGs hands are and where the ball is snapped. The snap hits his own butt and JG's top hand. Is JG supposed to use just one hand and palm the ball which is how he attempts to get this one?
Also notice the snap is very slow. The whole line is firing off both sides taking steps and Brendel still has the ball?
Faithful I played center. It does look like the center got it to Jimmy's hands. If I'm Brendel I'm supposed to secure the snap before taking off, he didn't. But also, Jimmy did this with the first snap of last season as well. It's a common theme with him.
Both players deserve blame for that IMO.
That's how I see it too. Brendel is moving forward, Garoppolo is leaning back. Just another day in Ninerland.
The ball hit Jimmy in the palm of his right hand. How long should Brendel sit there and wait for Jimmy to finally complete the exchange? In turn, if Brendel waits too long and gets blown up on the play folks would be on here screaming for him to be benched.
It happens. And usually the play is blown up. But as a center that's better than a turnover.
To be fair, I think it's more Jimmy fault for that fumble and this is the NFL so it's a lot more difficult for the center as there's 340 pound DTs trying to rip your head off. I'm just saying my Oline coach would have called me out for leaving before the football was exchanged.
I say 75% Jimmy 25% Brendel.
