To the ship!

FAKE PUNT PASSING PAYS BIG!

He is doing a good job because we don't hear about him. :thumb:

Winchester actually passed Kendall Gammon last week in games for the Chiefs - 106 to 107.

Gammon will always be my OG long-snapper though. Hard to believe this is Winchester's 7th season. I recall some sort of training camp competition with him his first year in KC. Seems to have been the right choice...

EDIT: Ah yes, the Winchester/Andrew East wars of 2015. It appears East eventually played 3 games for the Redskins in '18 but has otherwise been cut about a dozen times in his career.

7th season!?!? Jeez. I thought he was a rook. Actually I thought Kendall Gammon was still our Long Snapper.

Boom!

Glad we kept him over Shawn Johnson’s husband

I am whelmed.

Oh thank god!

Dude must be solid, he was third man to down the pooch punt after Allegretti and Townsend.

Actually, I'm really digging Special Teams these past few games, lots of great plays. They are shaping up to be quite (removes sunglasses) special.

Let me really blow your mind: Were you aware that we had someone named Thomas Gafford doing that job for the 7 years in between Gammon and Winchester?

I have absolutely no recollection of that name. At all.

who is next

How the **** did you know that

I have a confession. I was the Chiefs long Snapper from 2008 - 2015
