I don't recall anyone suggesting it was a long term issue or saying he would be a bust if he fumbles a few snaps in 2018. I said if he fumbles a snap and we lose as a result, I will not be a happy fan.

Please show me where I singled you out for anything, and I will be happy to apologize.

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

This is a problem, folks.

Maybe Price needs a year on the sidelines to learn like rookie quarterbacks (or Ross ).

LaFell has playoff and super bowl experience (very much needed for a playoff winless team). Also, when you are AJ's buddY on the field, you have each other's vibes and produce instinctively... just like Chad and TJ.   I have serious doubt when the pads come on, the pressure of the game and on top of that, the hits, that it will bring our rookies to reality, they are not gonna be as productive as they seem now.  TBD.

PS. His salary was MB's problem.

Usually agree with you Bengalitis but not this time.

Lafell was a good solid vet but these young guys needed snaps to open up the passing game and it is showing.

Namely Ross, Boyd and Tate.

Good luck to Lafell. Good man.

Remember, everyone, Price played four seasons at OSU, but only one of those was at center.  He is still learning, but has the time to get it together.  I would be more concerned if he was getting pushed back like on roller skates (Guicec, Cook, Bodine, basically anyone not named Braham).

John Ross beat Josh Shaw and Matt Barkley put it on the money for what would’ve been a 23-yard TD. Ross couldn’t hang on.

I’m coming back down to Earth with all these Ross drops and Price botched snaps...

Under pressure is a whole different ball game.

[The Real Deal]

And somehow we have another bad exchange from Billy Price, this time under center to Jeff Driskel. Wow.

John Ross just had two redzone drops. Has had several this week.

He will be a home run hitter for this team...just needs to buy more glue. #Bengals

This is going to be some miserable film to watch for the team

A pretty sloppy day overall for the Bengals’ offense. Drops, bad snaps and a few fumbles/INT’s... there weren’t many big plays. Kermit Whitfield had the play of the day - A long TD reception

John Ross, who also had a rough day with two drops, joins Price in declining to talk. #Bengals

Marvin Lewis on snap issues in mock game:

"We've got to get better. It's continued to linger. We had one with each QB, the same center and different QB's. Billy (Price) has to understand how important that is." #Bengals @fox19

I don't need an apology nor did I say you singled out anyone....until now

I stand by my concerns, Price has to clean it up, ball can't be fumbled on QB exchange. I am also concerned with the Ross drops today and this week. We are not a great team, we won't be able to overcome major mistakes or our #2 receiver dropping catchable passes. We will kill any shot t the playoffs if these 2 guys don't fix their issues. Being young or a rookie is not a good an excuse, winners don't need excuses. I want us to win.

[The Real Deal]

The main takeaway from today's mock game was sloppiness on offense. Bad snaps, dropped passes, and a lot of work to be done. I think there's a lot of potential there, especially with Joe Mixon and John Ross, but they've got a long way to go. Granted... https://t.co/8VO4lSN9xV

Bodine struggled for two years with erratic snaps. It eventually became the least of our worries.
