Adeniji did fail by not getting his arm out and trying to slow him down a little, but that's not as big of a problem because with a normal snap, that kick doesn't get blocked. He barely got his hands on it with his arms fully outstretched.
Possibly not no, but this is really semantics at this point tbh. The team should be going into that kick with the knowledge that the snap could be off, and the blocking therefore needs to be good. It would have been something had it been the outside guy running around our blocks who got there, but it was Fitzpatrick not far off just going up the middle and blocking it.
The snap wasn't perfect, but that was more likely to be expected. Letting Fitzpatrick have a straight run at it was just a basic blocking assignment missed. To me that's a way bigger let down than the snap being slightly slower, because it's so basic and wasn't impacted by injury drop-off.
