He was one of the very best in the league.

Certainly not a devestating injury in the big picture, but probably more important than most would think.

finally some solid observations at the end of this thread.

This is a very important position if not the most important other than QB. The guy we signed played for the Pats so we know he's got a brain.

He's the long-snapper for the Seahaks since week 1. Odd huh?

I suspect Payton and Gresham knew Kyle was a lock for the 53, and Gresham asked to be released in order to catch on elsewhere.

He's actually a hellacious hitter. I believe he caused a big fumble (somebody help me out.) in the 49ers game, that set up a score, and I dont think that was the only one he made this season.

I think we found out yesterday who is not Jason Kyle, as one botched
snap, and then they're also saying the timing caused Hartley's miss yesterday. I still say Hartley sux, but snappers are like certain parts of your body you dont think about, but you're in trouble without them.

If you're serious, Houser got into some kind of locker room dispute with some other Saints players
over a bad investment, (something to do with producing movies) and they thought it would be better if he werent there anymore.

I personally miss the guy, especially after yesterday.

Yes. That was Kyle. What a shame we lost him for the year...
