Kentucky Jet Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 H Ex-Jets long snapper James Dearth signs with Redskins Published: Saturday, August 14, 2010, 3:46 PM Updated: Saturday, August 14, 2010, 3:49 PM Jenny Vrentas/The Star-Ledger William Perlman/The Star-LedgerLong-time Jet James Dearth is no longer an option if Tanner Purdum does not work out. 0 0 0 Share CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Jets head coach Rex Ryan said today the recent snapping miscues by long snapper Tanner Purdum were "concerning." But the team no longer has the option to bring back James Dearth. The long-time Jets player signed with the Redskins today, according to a person with direct knowledge of the transaction. That person requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for Dearth or the team. Special-teams coordinator Mike Westhoff was very comfortable with Dearth, who played for the Jets for nine seasons. Ryan acknowledged today the Jets went "younger and cheaper" at the position, instead of bringing Dearth back. Purdum had been doing well, Ryan said, before two bad field-goal snaps Friday, one low and one high. "He has to be accurate; it can't ever be a question," Ryan said. "Size and strength, he's not a traditional long snapper." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Dearth's issues in that Atlanta game should not be glossed over. Hopefully it won't be a big deal having a new LS in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins would give up the franchise for years to come for Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
