Teams needing a long snapper

Long. Snapper. He can essentially go forever.

I don't think people realize that the long snapper position basically got a reprieve because of progressive rule changes. If you have a good long snapper, there is no reason to get another long snapper unless your guy gets injured or retires. Turns out....we actually have one of the best long snappers in the NFL. Yet we want to jettison him for a guy that keeps making bad snaps in camp and preseason games.

I'm sticking with Jansen because we need continuity more than youth with our new kicker.

Secondly, He solid and let's face it.  It's not like he has to make the tackle on the punt team.  If we are relying on him for the tackle on the punt team we're screwed.  35 is not old for a LS.  

If we can't trade Fletcher than make him one of our PS players.  We get 16.

There were rumors going around about JJ retiring earlier this year. Have to go with the young guy

Have a memory of hearing it. But tried to find the source a few weeks ago without any luck. 

If there were any truth to that, then go with the young guy if he has been ok. Doesn't need to be perfect his first year, the team aren't contenders. Rather have a rookie this year than any of the next coming years.

Also am I the only one that thought Fletchers snaps was a bit low to the punter last night?

Keeping Jansen is the obvious answer. Why create problems where there were none? How many bad snaps did you hear about from JJ for the entire offseason? Zero. How about Fletcher? A lot more than zero. 

 

Just hope it’s not Gano/Butker all over again…

It's a long snapper, man. Long snappers don't put points on the board directly. 

If Fletcher becomes a 15+ year career long snapper.....we can find another one of those in the next couple of years in the UDFA pool.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
