Easy to joke when you have the top long snapper in college football lined up as an UDFA.

We signed one? Who?

Chris Stoll. Penn State. He was ranked #2 behind Alex Ward from what I found And he signed with the Rams

What happened to Tyler Ott?

Retired this off season.

Tyler had a workout with the Rams just a couple of weeks ago, so i don't think he wants to retire. I assume he'll stay ready if a team needs to fill the position during the season. In the meantime, it makes sense for the Seahawks to go younger at the position.

You'd think they'd have a plan before letting the current long-snapper go. Then again, they can always call up Kelly Jennings.

Shoot, my bad...

I got Tyler Ott mixed up with Austin Blythe who announced his retirement a few months back. They both hike the ball, so please cut me some slack.

Dang, who knew about his guy. Chris Stoll took home the Patrick Mannelly Award in 2022 as the nation’s best long snapper. He was also voted as a team captain.

Pete: “We don’t plan to kick much. We’re going for it.”

Pete must have binge-watched the reality show "To the House" about the high school football team that never punts, always goes for it on 4th down, always onside-kicks after scoring. At last check, that team had won a few Arkansas state titles, 9 of them. Kevin Kelley, the coach, coached one season in college but that was a fiasco due to having no scholarships to work with.

I remember when we drafted a long snapper in the 6th round and he didn't even make the team. It was literally the only pick Ruskell made from a non-P5 school (San Diego State) during his entire tenure.

If I hadnt lived through Boone Stutz, I'd say long snappers are easy to find and not worth a second thought.
