Tyler Schmitt Out For The Season
Wunderkind long snapper, Tyler Schmitt, is lost for the season with a back injury. A small, but meaningful blow to a Seahawks special teams unit that could be great and could be grating.
In other news, Seattle played it cute getting down to 75. Smartly retaining good talent in Will Herring and William Robinson by placing Herring on the reserve list and Robinson on IR. Robinson has potential, if he can fill out. That left only Joel Filani and Omare Lowe to be outright cut.

Tubbs cut really doesn't bother me
But yeah, life blows.
Give me the home, where Buffalo roams, and watch Jones get a hundred yard game.

Special teams has been awful
I really hope that doesn’t mean Boone Klutz is back.

I hope it doesn't
Did we release Jeff Robinson or something?

Just when you thought we wouldn't be running a recycled Falcon LS out there...
We go with Tim Lindsey.
That got me thinking, and I know this is common knowledge of the trend, but I had to check into this a little.
An unofficial and partial history of Falcon long-snappers:
Mike Schneck – 10/2/07 to current
Boone Stutz – 2006 to 10/2/07
Tim Lindsey – 5/16/07 to 6/12/07
Ryan West – 5/1/07 to 5-9-07
Gavin Tarquinio – 3/1/06 to 3/5/07
Derek Rackley -2000 to 8/21/06
Jeff Robinson – drafted in 1993 as a DE out of Idaho
So… now that Tim Lindsey is the snapper, if he goes down, I fully expect to see a Ryan West or Gavin Tarquinio sighting in Seattle.

Robinson is back
Not sure what Lindsey’s fate will be.

Holmgren mentioned that Schmitt's career might be done
He seems to think the back might be a chronic thing.

I can understand why
the circumstances are certainly suggestive.
