Holders and long snappers are the two most underrated positions in all of sports.

The Eagles let him go, and after the Romo incident Akers (as his performance declined) was able to lobby the front office to get Detmer back. (and FG completions returned to being good again)

Could someone clear this up? How is it the long snappers job to get the laces right? He's sending a spiralling ball to the holder. Is it that he trains to snap the ball with a very specific number of rotations? Or is there some other reason?

@spencerplummer8002 Жыл бұрын

Long snappers are a very unique specialist in the modern NFL. They are more pivotal in the placement of the laces than the holder, thousands of reps and knowing just how hard to spin the ball so that the laces end up facing the right direction is mostly his job. If you ever watch the McAfee show he has talked about it on numerous occasions... That's why long snappers have been added to the pro bowl

MLB Hall Of Fame slugger Harmon Killebrew said the way to hit a knuckle ball in baseball is not to hit the stitches. I don’t think he was joking when he said it. That’s precision. Holding for a placekicker in football must be incredibly difficult. Lucy Van Pelt had the right idea after all.
