Well, looks like I'll still get your avatar, sig, status and vCash since you just put it up for free :stunned:
Special teams are units that are on the field during kicking plays. While many players who appear on offensive or defensive squads also play similar roles on special teams (offensive linemen to block, or defensive players to tackle) there are some specialist roles which are unique to the kicking game. Kicker (K) Also called the "placekicker", he handles kickoffs and field goal attempts. Both situations require the kicker to kick the ball off of the ground, either from the hands of a "holder" or off of a "tee". Some teams will employ two kickers, one for each role. Most however use a single kicker for both jobs, and rarely, the same player may also punt. Holder (H) Usually positioned 7-8 yards from the line of scrimmage, he holds the ball for the placekicker to kick. The holder is often a backup quarterback or a punter. Long snapper (LS) A specialized center who snaps the ball directly to the holder or punter. This player is usually distinct from the regular center, as the ball often has to be snapped much farther back on kicking plays. Punter (P) Punting requires the player to drop the ball from their hand and kick it from the air. It is done to relinquish possession to the defensive team. Punting is usually only done on fourth down. Punt returner (PR) and Kick returner (KR) Returners are responsible for catching kicked balls (either on kickoffs or punts) and running the ball back. These are usually the fastest players on a team. Teams may use the same player for both positions, or may have a separate returner for punts and for kickoffs. Upback A blocking back who lines up approximately 1-3 yards behind the line of scrimmage in punting situations. Because the punter plays so far back, the upback frequently makes the line calls and calls for the snap to be received by the punter. Their primary role is to act as the last line of defense for the punter. Upbacks may occasionally receive the snap instead of the punter on fake punts.
I really, really hope we win and flak and I payoff 29+ million. It's not like this isn't a smart bet to take, considering who their coach is: (Please check out my F OKIE LITE tribute in the football forum for other images hehe)
