No Kuhn in the base offense...

Cooks and Snead as average
Stopped reading. Neither elite at the moment but well above average

Waivers claims are starting to be announced... Haven't heard anything about us yet.

It should be something they can do to be honest
There is no excuse for it. I know the kicking is a bit different but look at Rugby were a fly half can kick the ball on the drop,often positionally very well and also takes the place kicking. I know the timing is different but if trained properly i see no reason a player could learn. Same with a centre really,why cant they learn to snap longer from a younger age

Well basically because the NFL as a whole is so extremely specialized, and conservative. Few coaches dare to try radical changes.

Long snapping and the regular shotgun snap is very very different. A proper long snap is best described throwing a pass backwards between your legs. It take a lot of time and reps to be able to do it as consistent as expected from an NFL LS. I honestly don't think a C has the time to do it. Maybe if you has a backup C that could.

And now we bring you your 2016 New Orleans Saints Practice Squad...

jeanpierre · 09-04-2016, 12:22 PM

We certainly put alot of people on IR...

I'd so like to see the Saints add WR Moritz Böhringer to the practice squad and have him ready by no later than next season...

In our scheme, with out coaches, the guy could be a beast!

The Vikings signed him to theirs

PFF showing our projected 3WR Set; they still have Coleman in; Snead will slide to the slot with Thomas outside...

Guess they're grading individuals average because of record - fair enough...
