Gourt Home::Gourt :: Long snapper
In American football, the term long snapper refers to a player who is a specialized center during punts, field goals, and extra point attempts. His job is to snap the ball as quickly and accurately as possible. During field goals and point after tries, the snap is received by the holder. During punt plays the snap is delivered to the punter.
A "bad snap" is a snap which causes the delay of a kick or the failure of a play. It is usually because of an inaccurate snap.
The long snapper still performs the normal tasks of a center and also runs downfield after the ball has been punted to help defend the punt return.
