I hereby dub Joe Cardona "RoboSnap."

[signbabybrady]

Nickname? I like Snapatron. Velocisnaptor. Mechasnap. Turbosnap. Or Autosnap. The Snap Dragon.

How about just Snap.

I have no problem with Belichick using a fifth for a guy who will be a good contributor on a consistent basis. A lock Long Snapper is worth the investment.

Agreed, the only caveat in this case being his availability was in doubt due to the military obligation.

 

[AzPatsFan]

OK, if you guys want Velocisnaptor, I want due credit for coming up with it. Although, I still prefer Snapatron.

You did it Tunascribe. VelociSnaptor it is !!

I suspect that it wasn't as much a mystery to long time Annapolis Navy oriented Belichick.

I like RoboSnap....

I like RoboSnap....

Nah, too generic. Looks like the majority prefers VelociSnaptor.

Navy should station him in Newport War college and give him Sundays off....

No, he also needs to be on the practice field.

Assign him to SE MA recruiting duty, must visit a high schoold or two every week (Monday afternoons). Pats can arrange for an experienced player to accompany him, maybe Ray Allen? The two of them could give a great talk on the value of teamwork...

This thread and the one about Simms re Brown are a great example of how spoiled Pats fans are, and why the rest of NFL nation hates us.

Here we are talking about a roster lock for a fifth round pick at a critical position, and how we got a steal with the last pick of the first round.

Meanwhile other fans are sitting around the auto racing capital of the world discussin whether their team missed a chance to upgrade a woeful defense by trying to force stardom upon their young QB, with little chance either will lead to the AFCCG

Nah, too generic. Looks like the majority prefers VelociSnaptor.

He can have multiple nicknames. Look at Edelman.

"Personal foul, tearing out the opponents' throat, 15 yards and loss of 2 pints of blood."

Maybe he could be recruiting guys during training camp who look like they won't make the roster.

Holding back on nicknames until he plays in a game....

LS: Cardona
Gunner: Slater
Kicker/KOS: Gostkowski
Punt Returner: Edelman

Arguably the four best in the league at their ST's positions. Maybe Allen will shine now without a garbage LS.

BB's best ever ST unit? If only we had a stud kick returner too.

I think that Amendola turned out to be a pretty good kick returner.

Hope the Navy works something out with him long term. We need him bad. I'm shocked that Aiken never cost us a game with a bad snap. It's kind of amazing. Punt nearly got blocked on the opening drive of the SB. We seem to ruin every young long snapper (or they ruin themselves? Dunno). Aiken and Ingram both got off to great starts and fell apart so hopefully this guy doesn't too.

Hopefully the new ST folks (which include Ray "Bubba" Ventrone, Ross "Ventrone'd" Ventrone's older brother) will have the good sense to leave well enough alone.
