#27TheDominator Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Who long snaps on this team? I know Dearth does, but it doesn't look like they are going to want to hold onto him. I think I read Mangold does, but I haven't heard who is the first team long snapper. I assume Mangini would prefer not to waste a roster spot (Dearth?) for a one dimensional guy. Especially when people on the board are looking to keep 4 Qbs, 6 wrs and God knows how many dbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbon Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I know that Schlegel was the deep snapper for the East at the East - West Shrine game, maybe he'll get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 dressen would be your man whoring long snapper Sure, does Dearth have a better nickname? Cause they need to keep one. Seems like Dreesen and Schlegel will make the team anyway so either would be a good choice. It's a free job. Fred Jetstone ought to hope Brooks learns the skill.

#27TheDominator Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Why the Lobo picture? Is she our next "man whoring long snapper?" If not I'd probably rather see a picture of Dreesen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 every year it's the same routine people come to the board, complain that James Dearth isn't Tony Gonzolez and speculate about all the possible replacements... forget about it it's not going to happen James Dearth is a top 5 NFL long snapper. He's literally one of the best in the business. A great long punt snap is 0.7 seconds - Dearth can do that reliably if not faster - plus he can get it down for field goals using the same velocity. If the Jets were dumb enough to cut this player he would have another job in 0.7 seconds. There's a reason why Tannenbaum gave him a 10 year deal. Please please with uncertainty at what seems like every position can we leave the long snapper alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please please with uncertainty at what seems like every position can we leave the long snapper alone? Jolley, Baker, Dreesen should make the team. Pociask is out for the year, but that leaves Moa, Tutt, Kowalewski and Dearth. They are using H-back formations and have hardly any FBs, but still seems like at least two of those guys probably should be cut. A coach that is so in love with versatility probably doesn't love the fact the guy isn't Tony Gonzalez and that in six years in the league he has more yards on kick returns (16) than receiving (10). I didn't know he was the Nolan Ryan of long snappers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
