When I was at App. There was one year the long snapper was the strongest dude on the team because they do their drills with the kickers and just lift and become muscle hamsters lol.

One of the kickers at NC State during the Chuck era was a 4.3-4.4 40 guy. He had a game against Miami where he just walked down the returner who had gotten loose. I always wondered why the hell you would waste a guy that fast on being a kicker.

We had a high school coach a county over from where I went who used his starting quarterback as a long snapper.

Not kidding...

That lasted about three games before an opposing coach took notice and lined up his two best defensive lineman, one on each knee.

They carried that kid out on a stretcher.

Now granted, the coach who took him out was an a--hole, but his own coach never should have put him in that position. That was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

Best offseason addition only plays bc injury. Thx hurney

[Mr. Scot]

Sad to say but it is probably true that if not for an injury, we'd still be holding our breath every time Gano set up for a kick.

Two words Srbastian Janikowski. He can lay the wood on someone. Early Raider days, returners feared him.

That's assuming Rivera let him kick at all.

I did some digging after he won the Texans game. He was all-state in HS, both as a kicker & LB. Who woulda thunk?

This is what I want to see at some point this season.  I want to see him lay the wood onto some 170 returner.  

That would make my day.

Never gonna be an issue.  Gano is done.  Plant knee is shot, won't play in NFL again.

The Slye haters are so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Dudes were so giddy when he missed the first kick and then promptly went MIA. Pretty funny.

Slye had haters? Who could hate on a kicker who is cheaper?
