long snapper VS Center?

The team escapes me, but they had their  DB kicking this week. Chad Johnson even kick FG in the preseason. As mentioned before, Center and LS are two different types of athletes. Perhaps a LB could be trained up in it in an emergency setting.

Not saying the Bengals did anything wrong, just a thought I would have for those narrow skill positions.

Mitch Wilcox was the emergency long snapper.  He practices it.  But, what he doesn't get is game experience with nerves and adrenaline kicking in. He didn't make any egregious errors. He just doesn't do it regularly enough to have the timing down.  Just like your "emergency" kicker isn't going to be out there trying for a 50 yarder.  Logan Wilson, BTW, is the emergency kicker
