I cant find it, but I can remember reading how Dick wanted to draft Jared so bad that he got up on the table during the draft and basically demanded CP to draft him.
The other player I can remember Dick wanting bad was Tyler Brayton (who was his preference when CP drafted LJ the previous year) Gun is full of shit I think. Kendall Gammon was kept here till 2006, so that stuff that Dick was gonna let go of the long snapper and draft Jared is BS. Jared Allen had more sacks in college than any other player iirc, who cares what school? The idea that Jared was drafted to strictly long snap is ridiculous. Gun obviously has ill will for Dick Vermiel because he replaced him as HC back in the day and those statements he made were over 5 years after the fact. |

what part is wrong and Ill dig more. It may take me awhile to find it, but Im sure its out there. I just didnt want to try that hard.
If he was gonna take him to be a long snapper (when we had a probowl quality one) why did we keep Kendall around till after the 06 season? |

Hell, why doesn't Minnesota let him long-snap? They could save a roster spot. |

something doesnt add up here. hamas' quote says they were going to get rid of the snapper, you say that the 20 sacks in 2 years made them not do it. well IMO if they were going to get rid of gammon why didnt they just do it right off the bat? |

Because he was a rookie and Vermeil, like Marty before him, didn't trust rookies.

That's why it was so hard to replace Boerigter as towel boy when he started playing WR... They just didn't feel comfortable hiring someone off the street... Boerigter had to double down as WR/towel boy the following year and that's why his play quickly diminished... They didn't want to make the same mistake with Allen...so they kept Gammon. |

this post makes NO sense. he said that being the ncaa leading sacker was the reason that he went in the fourth round. not because he would be a long snapper. then YOU say that he fell because he played for idaho state and had alcohol incidents. SOOOOOOO do you or ANYONE else think that the chiefs or any other team would spend a fourth or earlier on an long snapper? |

"Dick asked Gun if Allen could play" so by this you think he had Gun watching special teams film or defensive film? Being he is a defensive coach, I would think he wouldn't be asking him to evaluate how well he could long snap. Strike two care to strike out? The thought that we took Jared Allen to mainly be the longsnapper is ****ing ridiculous. Did he have additional value -in addition to being a good pass rush prospect- in being able to long snap? SURE was that the main reason he was drafted in the fourth round? No, that would be beyond CP foolishness) |
