Packers LS Rob Davis announced his retirement from football.

The team appointed him Director of Player Development. Davis was the Packers' long snapper for 11 seasons. He ranks third in franchise history for games played behind Forrest Gregg and a certain surefire Hall of Fame QB.

Yeah, but has he officially filed the papers?

Darn. TT ran off another one!

Now Shadow, you know that isn't true. They are all high school graduates, and I don't think any are so smart as to have gotten out at 11!

I hear Atari Bigby is a Rhodes Scholar.

Yea, but that's a 'Ray Rhodes' scholar, which only requires being able to chew gum while the team falls apart.

I'm pleased this has happened. I was hoping last year already they would find a position player who could long snap, thereby freeing up a roster spot. Davis's long snapping seemed to deteriorate a little bit last year, and his blocking up the middle also seemed deficient sometimes.

Hopefully, we can find or train a position player to do the job decently.

I believe they've already signed a specialist. I know nothing about the guy other than he has LS after his name on the roster. There may be a few multi-taskers out there, but for the most part the designated long snapper position seems here to stay.

[Scott Campbell]

Who wants to bet that our new Director of Player Development will spend a lot of time working with the new long snapper?

[Noodle]

I'm glad he's staying with the team. Who the hell really knows, but from stuff you read, he's a great locker room guy and has acted as a go-between with players and coaches.

That is freakin hilarious!

Haha! Burn!

Where does he rank on the Greatest Long Snappers of all time list?
