Long Snapper Clint Gresham released

[Meeker]

After the Minnesota Miracle Miss, you've got to appreciate a good long snapper.

That was on the long snapper?

Seahawks fans should remember the post J.P. Darche days

Bingo.

Really bums me sometimes that other teams have bloggers and local media that give deeper background details on players performances and not just speculation but comments from coaches.

There are plenty of blogs that go into performances of the players, FieldGulls being a fantastic example. Same for seahawksdraftblog.

As far as getting deeper than That speaks to the FO's ability to plug leaks, which is a good thing.

Take a more extreme example. How many other teams would have been able to hide the fact that Harvin and Tate got into a fist fight the week of the Superbowl? I'm REALLY glad it didn't get out. You take the good with the bad.

Sure, they can give you empircal data that you could then extrapolate to a player not performing or being in trouble but that isn't straight from the horse's mouth. Sure, it is a good sign that the team runs a tight ship but I haven't seen a Seahawk coach sit down and talk scheme with fans since "Knox Talks Hawks" (he drove me crazy with that coach's clicker). Speaks to accessibility. I applaud the FGulls of the world but they are left filling the blank a lot of the time. Oh well, that was back in the stone age so I need to catch up.

Stupid. I don't like this at all.

 

[keatonisballin]

Sucks but I get it. I always wondered why a team like ours, that values guys playing multiple roles, paid a guy just to long snap.

I hate this move.

Is Nate Boyer a viable option?

I know he has worked hard and was in camp for awhile last year.
He has a warm/ fuzzy back story.

Yup. The 2007 game vs. the Saints still gives me nightmares. We probably lost at least 2 games in 2007 just because of our crappy long snapper.

We have another long snapper on the roster.

Why would you want Nate Boyer other than his feel good story?

 

[Hasselbeck]

Remember a few years ago (may have been in the Holmgren days) when we had long snapper problems galore? Hope this doesn't happen again.

I always felt pretty fortunate to have Gresham as our LS, I'm sure the FO knows what they're doing but all the same this doesn't feel right

Like they did at the Seahawks Town Hall?

Yeah, they did expand last year. Before that it was a pep rally. Once a year is okay I guess, but I want more. You feel we are good so let's agree to disagree and call it a day. Unless you want to me to admit I am wrong and you are right. Will that be enough? You are 100% correct. I am just talking out the side of my mouth.

2007. It made me never take a good long snapper for granted ever again.

Since Lynch hasn't officially retired yet, the 'Hawks are still carrying his salary right now. Once he officially retires or the 'Hawks cut him, we could potentially resign Gresh. Cap space being at such a premium right now, not surprised with the move.

May see others go ( not sure who else clears substantial space not named Graham) before June 1 or at best some restructures.

As for losing a comp pick. I know the front office likes having these, but I doubt they would not make a move based on a comped 5th rounder.

Also, if not mistaken, Gresh has been around awhile. His vet minimum salary is probably higher than a younger LS who could potentially play another position.

IDK Bro, that was my knee jerk reaction to the news.
I really liked #49 and wasn't thinking about the current roster or salary cap.

I'm big on "team chemistry" and think of him as one of the "good" ingredients.

Two birds, one stone.

I apologize. I don't get "it".

[bjornanderson21]

I get that people don't like this move, but a lot of those same people underestimated our salary cap situation and the cost of bad moves the last few years.

Every million that gets wasted on bad deals is a million less we have to play around with.

 

[Hawkstorian]

His salary was $760,000. This does almost nothing to help the cap situation.

 

[kf3339]

Just to save a few hundred thousand per year makes no sense to me. You realize this when the LS to replace him with screws up and costs you a game. Remember this happening before under Holmgren? We replaced a guy (can't remember name) who went to KC and the replacement was horrible. We went thru several to get a below average guy. So I hope this doesn't bite us in the ass. :?
