Tell me the last player on the offense that took a direct snap from center, besides the QB.
Hint: This player played on the offense & special teams & he's retired today.
Bonus:
If you can tell me the situation he took the direct snap you'll get 10,000 bonus pts.
Put your thinking caps on......... :thumb:
good question
any chance you can tell us what year?

I'd love to, but then you would be able to break it down season by season.
If you & everyone else can't figure it out, I'll give you the year.
Lets see how well you know your Skins :silly:

I would guess Brian Mitchell, although I really have no idea. Was it against the Saints in 1992?
If I'm right, then it was on a fourth down, and they faked the punt. Mitchell ran for the first down. Anyway, that's my guess.

It was Brian Mitchell, but it was not that game.
Does anyone rememeber this MNF game...? (hint)

I had to throw in the bonus q? because there were only a handful of players in the league history that pulled this direct snap play off well.
So the bonus question is still live, anybody...?
Last hint: Lohmiller kicked field goals of 53, 52, 45 and 46 yards, tying his NFL record with two of 50 yards or better. Mark Rypien played solidly, completing 14 of 26 for 203 yards and two touchdowns.

WAIT!!! I think the answer is incorrect. In 1991, Gibbs was still coach.
During R. Petibon's one year tenure in 1993, Brian Mitchell took a snap directly from center on a fourth down fake punt attempt and attempted a forward pass to Todd Bowles. It failed and we eventually lost the game.
I don't remember the game but I do remember that Pettibone got crucified for the call.

Also, I think the pass was intercepted.
