Long snapper

[crowell33]

Look to draft Wilson Raynor out of ECU, guy hasn't had a bad snap in like 3 years [No Joke].

While I agree that Raynor is a great long snapper, I'm concerned that at 6'1 3/4", 235 LBS, he is too small for Patriots LS.

Cash factored into decision on Cutler, Cassel - The Denver Post

Leach snapping up interest.

Former Broncos long snapper Mike Leach left his visit Friday with the Arizona Cardinals and flew to Seattle, where he will meet with the Seahawks. Leach has one more visit next week.

I'm somewhat surprised that nobody has ever tried that, actually - crazy as it sounds. A whole lot more options on third down, knowing you still have one more down to make a first.

Aside from the guy in Denver that Paxton replaced, there are 100+ college teams that had long snappers last year, so there are probably 40 or more potential candidates available as UDFA after the draft.

Hey, why not cut the punter, too? Use the roster spots on WRs. Like going without a goalie in hockey.

Sure make for more interesting games!

I'm surprised that Scott O'Brien has not lobbyed hard for Leach.

He is one of the best in the business. I'd hate to see a clutch

snap in the hands of a rookie or somone who has not been

snapping on a regular basis in the NFL. Maybe Leach is asking

too much or hopes to stay out west.

PatsFanners, what LS are available in Free Agency? Is Leach going to be the only one available?

I'm expecting the Pats to draft LS Jake Ingram of Hawaii in Round 6 or 7. You heard it here first. I'm sure you're all going to be stealing that from me in your player draft list for the Patriots.

I just wanted to re-post this post of mine from March 7th. I'm a very modest man. A very modest, albeit brilliant man. I know, I know, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I thought you were crazy. Draft a long snapper. Riiiiight.

Sounds like this guy is really good though.

Don't get me wrong, I am crazy, but yeah this guy is good.

It's a great pick. What other position could they draft at that spot and have any hopes that the player could compete for a starting job?

This might be the most impressive prediction I've seen on this forum! Great job!

Completely agree... I was thinking : whoa BB took a LS from Hawaii ahead of a dev. QB ? Yikes ! It was kinda like BB saying a big FU to the league - I'm too popular to pick "real" players.

CRAZY pick but even CRAZIER prediction. Good freakin' call.

If there is one thing BB falls back on a lot, it is his popularity.

Thanks very much. You swing a dead cat over your head, and you're bound to hit something.
