We should be trying long snappers out this week

[Stripes]

I am sick of St. Louis and would like to see him replaced, but really... My worries are dwindling with him. I like to think of NFL oddities as they compare to what is average, and St. Louis's mishaps have been so incredibly frequent that I simply find it probable that he'll start doing his job properly to bring him back closer to statistical normalcy. He's been doing it too long to continuously play at such a horrid level for more than four weeks.

Of course, his problems started in the playoff game so it's already been a while. Never was it such a problem that an immediate fix seemed necessary like now though.

That's the Gambler's Fallacy. Unfortunately, having seen a lot of crap from him in the past doesn't make it less likely in the future.

I think it's a lot more likely that he's gotten Steve Sax Disease, and now has a mental block about it.

Mike Brown trumps Marvin once again...i'm guessing. 10 year guy, can't let him go.

I hope he gets straightened out starting now. I think it'll take another screw-up for Brown to let Marvin have his way.

If this was a Mikey decision St. Louis and his 10-year-vet's-salary would have been out the door for CFA James Smith, who would be like $500k cheaper.

Replacing BSL right now simply replaces one question mark with another. That's why I was rooting for Smith in minicamp; since we were changing holders, it was the perfect opportunity to change snappers, too. Too late now.

Could be wrong, could be right scenario, but from what I hear, St. Louis is "one of Mike Brown's guys," like Jeremi Johnson and Chris Henry - whom he could be paying other people less to fill those roles also.
