Jimmy Landis from Baylor is the pick of the longsnapper litter, IMO. Smooth elbows, strong neck snap, tight wrist work. He did 26 forearm curls at last years combine and measured a rediculous 49" leg spread.

 

Sandbourne's been camped out on the roster for long enough. His snapping and pitiful track record speak for themselves. Time to can the bum, and hand the #65 jersey to Jimmy Landis!

Sandbourne? What is he now, a Game of Thrones character? C'mon man.

Shaun Suisham. Pittsburgh will likely cut him, if he's healthy, I want him in a Bills uniform next year.

Big question mark with the knee surgery, but if we can bring him in for vet minimum, do it.

What are you talking about? Garrison Sanborn (yeah- that's how you spell his name) is one of the most reliable people on this roster.... He has one game where his snaps drifted right- oh yeah, it was also windy.... He snaps with reliability and busts his ass to get downfield on coverage...

I disagree about his snapping accuracy. He is all over the place when snapping to Schmidt. He does hustle, but it doesn't help when the snaps are too often not within a foot of where they should be.

The regime change isnt complete until Garrison is off this roster. Hes a loser, who breeds a losing culture. Besides, five minutes with Landis and he'll make you forget all about Sandborn. He's the future of longsnapping in the NFL.

Dude got moves too. He's to dancing what Tyrod is to fashion.

I think its pronounced with an I. Either way, this kid can snap a ball:

I would have no problem keeping Sanbornne and then drafting another long snapper just for field goals. Landise looks like a stud. We have plenty of roster spots and if it means we keep a long snapper for punts (Saneborn) and a long snapper for field goals (Landiss), I say go for it.

Seem set at punter. Will a kicker be drafted? What about primary returners?

 

This is really funny if you consider the type of "journalism" some sites are promoting. Recently, I stumbled across this "gem" from "The Pittsburgh Sporting News." I wonder if "sporting" is a pun on joking/athletics...

Check out how the writer cites the punters' longest punt of the year as a metric for rating their effectiveness.

Maybe we could get a guy to hold the ball during windy kickoffs too. I think that is such an important spot. A specialist could really make a difference!

Yep on of the best in the league. I hear he gives great speeches too.
