Have you ever been a long-snapper? They throw the ball.

I assume it would be the same as QBs needing catching for shotgun offenses.

most Long snappers are actually backup TEs. I would not want to have a smaller guy like Cb or S in there as they just aren't big enough to be in the middle of the scrum.

Do you really jump to punt? Not really but Bort has it that punting does help with punting, so why wouldn't throwing help with long snapping?

yes you do jump in your follow through when punting

No season enders, as that wouldn't be fair to the guys who pay to play, but some minor stuff to slow down a WR or DB for a series. Concussions for the QB would be cool - I'll train my LB on that!

They could do Season Enders/Career Enders if they included compensation, say a Season Ender you would get X Flex points. A Carreer ender you would get 100% of your points back that you have spent on the player.

Would make the Depth Chart a lot more important.

punting does help with punting



NO DUH!!

You could build a Center with 35+ speed/agi/str/blk/tkl for a monster LS!

some of us are close to the speed agility now ,i'll leave the tackle

I played DE/OLB and long snapped in the PAC-10... we threw the damn ball, a punter 15 yards back cannot be reached with any speed with a shotgun snap flip.

One of the most common training / warmup methods is a pass from behind your head while standing upright over the top of your helmet, dominant hand throws the ball just like any other pass, weak hand pushes the nose for a little extra zip.


That said, I doubt the position has been fully implemented until Bort says something. It's a nice way to get a low play backup some extra plays, but if snaps start mattering to the quality of the kicks, well, that'll be the end of the backup's free ride, kinda sad.

Minus the tackle, do I win?

And its a G but they are interchangeable. I know I played LG,C,RG in high school. And I long snapped, Go me. You throw the ball in a whipping motion, pushing the hips for the follow through.

Has anyone worked out if increasing throwing is worth it (by training)

*bump*

I just use a TE.

i posted several places about this. sorry.

best answer i got was, something to the effect that...

until you find botched/blocked punts, no need to worry.

good enough for now.

Yeah, a lot of people said they use a TE or LB
