Center-quarterback exchanges have been way more of a story than they should be during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason. After two botched snaps in the preseason opener between Justin Fields and Nate Herbig, Fields and C Zach Frazier also had a botched snap in the preseason finale. Fields explained exactly what went wrong with the snap between him and Frazier.
Fields said he changed the protection in silent count but Frazier didn’t hear him. Spencer Anderson did, and the left guard taps the center in silent count when it’s time to snap. Since Frazier didn’t hear the protection change, he thought the tap from Anderson meant Fields was ready for the snap.
