Bye bye Jason Kyle?

[Murph]

Sounds like it. However based on the comments below the blog, it sounds like the FO has plenty of options and every dollar of cap space is valuable right now.

i think Barnidge can take his place..

[PowerlessDan]

If we don't resign him it is going to take me awhile to get comfortable when it is time for a long snap. :eek:

[rayzor]

kalil could do it if we needed. he did it in college, correct?

[Fireball77]

IDK if Kalil did it in college...good question. He had some issues doing shotgun snaps early on though.

[natty]

Kalil can long snap, I remember that being discussed when he was drafted. Is there any serious downside to having your starting center as a long snapper?

[Cyclonus]

I don't like this at all. Kyle has been SOLID throughout the years. He can't be that much against the cap.

[AKPantherFan]

Let Kalil do it.

I for one was a big supporter of that idea when we drafted him. No need to waste a roster spot on a LS.

I am sure the next guy will screw up at some point, but they all do.

[Urrymonster]

So that means Kalil would be on the field a loooooong time and would basically open him up for burn out and injuries. There is a big reason why so many teams have specialists there and not have regular roster guys doing it. If the long snapper gets injured you are generally buggered.

[Fireball77]

I agree...having your starting center do that would be very very unusual. I don't know if any other team does that.

[Darth Biscuit]

If the starting center is also the long snapper, who does it if he gets hurt? Obviously you can have an "emergency" long snapper, but someone that doesn't do it a lot is likely to screw up and that can cost you severly on a punt backed up into your own end zone or a critical field goal...

[Kyle82]

Damn I hate to hear that...this guy has been solid and accurate for us for years!

[The Link]

What an uberghey off-season.

[lightsout]

I heard a rumor that they may pick up an undrafted pick out of a DIII school in NC. Apparently they were in contact with the long snapper at Methodist University last summer. Again, just a rumor.
