The game of football is played in three phases. Offense, defense, and the often overlooked special teams. Those who understand the sport know how valuable special teams can be. In many cases, they can very easily be the difference between wins and losses. Fortunately, the Seattle Seahawks have enjoyed mostly consistently solid special teams play.
One of the more unheralded members of any special teams unit is the long snapper. Crucial for field goals, PAT’s, and punts, the long snapper often goes unrecognized. However, the Seahawks have employed one of the better ones in the NFL in Tyler Ott.
