I don't think people realize how brutal long snapping can be on the body. These guys get hit in real awkward ways because of the nature of their job and it takes a toll on them...plus Scales has been doing this forever.

probably, but it's not like LS from another team is a high priority target for other teams. Should be easy to get him back on the roster if it's required.

Bears have had long runs w/Patricks at LS with Manley>Scales going back to 97!
