TJ generally had more catches I think but chad the bigger plays.

A center who puts the ball on the ground at all snapping is just like a receiver who can't catch a football. The receiver can be fast and get open easily, but if the QB can't count on him to make the catch, he is useless.

Yes, this is a big deal and Price needs to fix it prior to game one.

I'm wondering just exactly how long it'll take after the first bad snap in a real game for those who have all the faith in world the in Price to suddenly turn on him and declare him a bust. I'm pretty sure I can count the seconds on one or two fingers. lol
I'm pretty much expecting a few bad snaps here and there which doesn't necessarily equate to a bust.

Can confirm the C.J. Goodwin signing for the #Bengals. The 28-year-old is 6-4, 220 pounds. Played 14 games last year for Atlanta and Arizona. Played in Pittsburgh in 2014.

I may start to question Pollack as an OL coach if Price is still having snap issues mid season....but thats another issue.

John Ross started this game as the number two wide receiver. It seems like Ross will get every opportunity to be the outside WR on the opposite side of Green.

Don't be such a wet blanket.

And how many rookies make it through their first season mistake-free? If he's as good as advertised, and Pollack is the coach as advertised, then all we have to worry about is all of the negative-inclined fans harping on something that will ultimately not be a problem. 

ANOTHER bad snap — Price to Barkley. That’s 3 today

Andy Dalton to AJ Green for an 85-yard TD. First should've been a score of the day. They call him down (two-hand touch) but that's the first big play of the day for the Bengals.

This went from "it's ok, he'll deal with it" in the first week of camp to "this needs to be dealt with NOW" for Billy Price. Not good. https://t.co/8Q6dxRd98r

As I stated, he needs to fix it quickly and by regular season. The snap is basic football 101, we can't turn the ball over due to bad snaps and expect to win games and get back to the playoffs.

I loved the pick, I think he can be a great asset, but I won't dismiss his weaknesses because he is a rookie or played more in shotgun of late. He is also get blown up by both Billings and Geno early, so a lot of work needed prior to game one. He has a load of potential, but potential is just that so he needs to prove he can take the potential and dominate in the NFL. I think he will, but I also think he will have some hiccups his rookie year.

Price is exactly what we needed at the center position, and he was probably the strongest overall linemen in the draft.  He has the attitude and skills we need to FINALLY get a rushing attack.  

I am MUCH more worried about the RT position.  The only highlight I saw of Fisher would have been flagged for holding.  I hope Redmond gets a real good look here.
