Does your team need a long snapper?

We already have a trick long snapper. We'd trade him to have the red snapper back in a heartbeat.

Because of the heat in the Arizona desert [in high school], Sundberg worked on his snapping in the school gym, sinking baskets on snaps from half-court. And that's not Sundberg's only party trick. To practice accuracy, he places 10 balls all along the 10-yard line at Memorial Stadium, and proceeds to snap them towards the center support of the goalposts. He nails every one. Sundberg can snap up to 40 yards, a talent he displays by snapping to receivers running routes and hitting them in stride.

"Ok, now on this punt play we're going to have a seemingly out of control cart from the sidelines come driving onto the field with a player strapped to the back. The trick snapper will then snap the ball directly into the hands of the player laying on the cart as it drives past. In the confusion the cart will then drive the player, with the ball in his hands, into the endzone. Guaranteed touchdown."

In other words I don't know what the value of being able to long snap like you're throwing a pass or through the windows of a moving car is to NFL teams. Probably nothing.

Too bad Zorn isn't still coaching, we could have pulled that off... :(
