3. Seahawks need to bring back Clint Gresham

This is becoming a major frustration. In each of the three games, long snapper Nolan Frese has had at least one bad snap. One caused a missed field goal. Today it caused punter Jon Ryan to get decked.

This is something that simply cannot happen. A long snapper has one job. He’s not responsible for anything else. Mistakes must be very rare if they happen at all.

The Seahawks had a great long snapper. He was let go in the offseason because long snappers should never have that high of cap numbers. He’s still available, and can easily be signed for the vet minimum now.
