Long snap or DEEP SNAP

[KukriKhan]

Interchangeable. But "Long Snap" is an older term - one I heard and used as a kid in the 50's & 60's. I think I heard "deep snap" on Monday Night Football, within the last 6-7 years. Probably a Texan-ism... those guys take their High School football very seriously. More so than the NFL even.

On a side note: It's actually a pretty tough physical skill to master, in effect 'throwing' the ball between your legs, while looking upside-down at a target more than 5 yards behind you. AND of course, with the knowledge of several 300-pound guys only seconds away from smashing you into the ground.

You havent' seen anything until you've been to some soccer games in Mexico or Europe.

It's 'long snap' up here too.
