I have never heard of a "franchise caliber long snapper" BUT I'm sure it's a task that isn't easy. Saying that, if it is possible to have one of the 46/47 game day players NOT be just a one trick pony I think it makes the team better. In other words, if you can have a backup that's already going to be on the game day roster snap, you free up one spot for a guy like our new punter? Maybe when Nix said that it is up to Chan to figure out how to get him on the roster, this whole Batten long snapping may be his idea??
