Thanks for the service to Justin Drescher I did not know until now.

Not following you RSII... why would Drew be chasing the ball?

I think the point we are making is that your starting center used to be a long snapper, or backup lineman. Now teams have to use a roster spot on someone who is very specialized, and usually doesn't play anything but ST on the kicking side. Drescher, for example, was not on the return teams.
