We need a couple of backup TEs to go to long snapping camp this summer.

Why backups? Send Fidone. His mom will be happy to see him on the field more often.

I used to long snap in HS. Glad to provide my services. I have eligibility and lower back pain

What makes you so sure he won't be a backup next fall?

 

[HominidHusker]

For any college athlete to practice long snapping daily and not be good at it is a disgrace to all of athletics all over the globe all throughout history.
… yes I’m on the #FireFoley wagon.

Its possible he leaves before then

Long snapper tryouts should be this:

$50k cash right in front of the ball

10 snaps

Guy who makes all 10 gets the $50k and the job

The ones who don’t are cut

Said it before and ill say it again…

I GUARANTEE they have a better LS on their team that actually plays a position than what was thrown out there this year.

However, it is too inconvenient for the special teams coach when that is the situation.

Hey I get it to some degree, and I don’t know any specific dudes that can do it, but I know with 9000 dudes that they had/have a serious LS on their team somewhere.

Let Haarberg do it

That's exactly what I said a week or so ago. There's a hidden talent there somewhere.
The dudes with the big wingspan are naturals for that job because they develop a lot of tork from extended arms prior to their rear end on release.

and the speed to run down and cover the punt

A few other guys were working this year that started as experiments. Wacker a LB from Yutan was one. No idea how they fared.

Makes sense. A good long snapper can have a nice career. A lot of those guys only weigh 250 pounds. Mixing some special teams play

They’re like QBs - Can’t even hit them anymore

You would be an IMMEDIATE improvement over what we have now!

 

[SeaOfRed75]

Long snapping well is kind of hard isn't it?

I mean Adam Treu had a long NFL career mainly due to his long snapping. Enabled him to have a career with the Raiders when he might have been cut early in it.

 

[NebChicago]

I’m telling y’all I can do it. I could long snap the lit candle off a 1-year old’s birthday cake

HH would be a problem for the receiving team. He's big, strong and fast. He could also be the holder for kicks to allow for some fakes.

I believe it was Jay Moore who said last year that he would advise ANY guy with aspirations to play in the NFL to play special teams and learn how to long snap. The more stuff you can put on film the better the odds you can make a team because of the roster limits. IF you're a TE, LB, Safety, etc, you can really help your chances. Linebackers are a good fit to long snap.
