  • Dorenbos done for the year

    bring Bartrum out of retirement so that Zubaz can break his jersey out of storage.

    In 55 years of being kicked in the ass by this team losing two long snappers in a game may take the cake. Trying guys out on the sideline...only could happen to the Eagles.

    And Mychal Kendricks trying to learn how to snap so he can get on the field is priceless.

      What options are there for long snappers right now?

      I get your sentiment, but now that the season is effectively over I think you have to bring in a young player or try to see if a young player on the roster now can assume the role.

          He tied the record for consecutive games played by an Eagles player yesterday.

          Now he can't break it ... pretty zany.

            That is crazy. Gonna be a trivia question for future generations of fans.

              At this point I fully expect Lurie and Roseman to bring in a former Army ranger to do it just to alleviate some of the poison darts being thrown their way.

              We will never, and I mean EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR, see a Lombardy in Philly with him as owner and Boy Blunder as GM.

                Makes total sense with this franchise.

                  Is how is it necessary to use Celek and/or Burton when we have both Kelce and Wiesnewski on the roster.

                  If a center can snap a ball in shotgun, how is it possible that they can't go a few extra yards for a kick? I understand not being the everyday guy, but you would think one of those two would be better emergency options than Burton, no?

                  I was kidding about Bartrum return.

                    I know you were kidding about Bartrum. It's funny though, Bartrum's name did come up during the pregame gayte!

                    Re: Kelce, IMO the guy has been off with shotgun snaps all year, so I can see why you might not trust him with a long snap.

                    It will be interesting to see what the plan is the rest of the season.

                      It's a different snap. The shotgun snap is blind and one handed. The emphasis is on consistency. Many shotgun snaps don't even spiral but are sort of lobbed. The long snap on kicks is sighted and is a two-hand spiral. While of course accuracy is paramount, getting it to the holder as quickly as possible is also desired.
