Really good season, I hope that he lines up a little closer to play though next season, at the games many of us would scratch our heads seeing him 30 yards off the snap lol

Yes. Starting the first snap of a drive with Thineman on the other side of the 50 puts us at a stark disadvantage.

30 yards away seems strange to me, but it is working. Of course, I would rather have him start in the offensive backfield until the refs catch on.
