If you're suggesting that a PS player be used to snap for special teams practice and then having a regular center long-snap during the game, I think that's unworkable. Alot of chemistry and timing is required among snapper, holder, and kicker and they have to be getting the ball from the same guy the practiced with.Dave Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448210239997319388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326101918487760203.post-83700509903880660662009-09-04T01:37:33.140-04:002009-09-04T01:37:33.140-04:00That's why they invented the practice squad......That's why they invented the practice squad...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326101918487760203.post-60337868937007606602009-09-03T22:55:44.786-04:002009-09-03T22:55:44.786-04:00That's not unreasonable. Even if long-snappin...That's not unreasonable. Even if long-snapping is a very specialized skill set, you would think that at least on occassion a particularly gifted center would show up who could fill both roles succesfully (I've often thought the same way about kickers and punters). The explanation may be mundane: the centers are required throughout the offensive practice, so a long-snapper needs to be limited to the one job so he can spend all his time practicing with the specialists.Dave Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448210239997319388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326101918487760203.post-60692795704135946462009-09-01T23:44:32.615-04:002009-09-01T23:44:32.615-04:00I think it's ridiculous that we have to think ...I think it's ridiculous that we have to think about letting loose on potential big-time upside in a 4th QB or 4th RB in part because we need a specialized long snapper. <br /><br />Not arguing for that kind of change by the Redskins. But when will an NFL center realize that simply by adding a long snap to their repetoire, they could add huge value to a team? That's an extra lineman or other roster spot that teams like the Skins could desperately use...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
