Well Im really not sure about what to think is going on with this.  We get rid of Houser and I thought for sure we were going to use someone in house.  Then we go and sign Jason Kyle while this is not a bad pickup I just dont see the reason behind it.  So with that said Im not the head coach and never will be!

It's no big deal ,in my eyes…Houser, our longets tenured player, was 37 years old…Long snapper or not, he was getting long in the tooth and it was time to go.


I realize Kyle is no spring chicken himself, but he's a very experienced player at a specialized position who still has some gas in the tank. I hate to downplay the LS position, as one minor error from that spot can really turn a game, but it's a pretty minor move.


Most teams change out long snappers frequently, and very few people even notice.


I am glad though that the Saints picked up one of the better long snappers…It can only help as we move forward….Plus, and I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think we picked up Kyle for less than what Houser was getting…if that's true, that's just another plus.

I assumed the Houser move was about money. Long-tenured players make a higher base salary.
