Here we go again!

not real happy about that. he's a good snapper but he's old and twice retired. 2 outcomes for this:

a) robinson does not last the season
b) robinson does nothing on punt coverage

i would bet real money that there will be yet another long snapper for the seahawks at some point this season.

Did Boling happen to mention anything about a guy named Lofa?

What was the matter with Lindsey? He's been with the team for most of training camp and I would think has a report with the ST guys.

I don't really understand this move.

What happened to the Honeymoon boy? Linsay was it.

Also, I don't know if it was this thread or not but I got it wrong. I thought that Lindsay was who we signed after the Stutz thing didn't work out. oops. I hate eating crow.

Oh well.

Are they letting lindsay go in order to sign Robinson or is someone else going to be cut?

Please never mention Stutz again.

Yeah that Saints game was a nightmare.
I still think about it time to time.

YEAH! I want some Lofa Tatupu news.

Lindsay's snaps haven't looked all that great the past few weeks.

Cut the punters, to make more room, and just go for it on forth down.

i like seaturkeys idea!!!

Who did they release to make room for Robinson?

I believe Boling said Lindsay was released.

My guess is Tim Lindsay

This is great news. While Robinson is old, he is one of the very best long snappers in the league. Rock solid his whole career, and we had absolutely no problems with snaps after he came in to replace "he who shall not be named".

Lindsey's an adequate emergency fill in, but definitely not consistent enough for everyday snapping throughout the season, that is, unless you want some snaps over the punters head and some field goal snaps on the ground.

He put one field goal snap on the ground that Plack had to pick up in a hurry and put in place in the San Diego game, and almost snapped it over Plack's head on one punt, where Plack jumped high up to grab the snap. He hasn't blown one completely yet, but mostly because of good hands by Plack on Monday night, and by Hodges last week. I was worried that it would be a bit of an issue, not as bad as last year, with Lindsey doing it, but now it shouldn't be a problem. We probably lose a bit on punt coverage, but I think it's a win situation overall.

This is great, he was solid last year. Cross long snapper off the list of worries.

They guy is out of football for two years and he's one of the best long snappers in the league? Anyway I was wondering about him yesterday, figured it was a long shot but somehow it doesn't surprise me now.

Let's recap. Timmay! thought Darche wasn't good enough to re-sign last offseason and told him the Seahawks were "going in a different direction". So he signs with Kansas City and does a great job and if I remember right he even kicked a FG there. Timmay! keeps his croney from Tampa Bay, Rackley, who filled in less than admirably when Darche was hurt in 06. Rackley, as it turned out, sucked as a long snapper. Timmay! brings in another crony, Boone Stutz from Atlanta, and he sucks even worse than Rackley. In fact he sucked more than anything has ever sucked before, including the 92 Seahawks 2-14 team. So, having run out of cronies, Timmay! brings in a 37 year old dude off the street who'd been out of football for 2 years, and he plays better than Timmay!s cronies did. Yep, they went in a different direction without Darche, alright, downhill. So they draft a long snapper this year, and he's put on IR and now they're back to the 37 year old Robinson. That was a brilliant move Timmay!, almost on a par with not re-signing/Franchising Hutchinson, giving up a 3rd round pick for Bureleson, giving up a 1st round (and our chance to draft Ben Grubbs) and a ton of money for Branch, and giving Hutchinson's money to Alexander, and wasting a 1st round pick on Spencer. Yes indeedy, we sure didn't need Jean-Phillipe Darche.

nighthawk, did uh...timmay! sleep with your girlfriend or what? you're pretty bitter toward a guy who's gotten us to a superbowl and 4 or 5 division titles.

nighthawk, just relax and take your meds. Everything will be okay.

What a joke that we can't solve this position.

Robinson did a fine job last year. Good decision. Shame we apparently wasted a draft pick on Schmitt, though.

If he comes back next year he'll discount the cost of re-acquiring one. Robinson will do fine. Was Tyler hurt tackling Viking punt returners (twice?)
