Glad you brought up, being I was one. Under Rich Brooks, it was really bad, they went through a couple including Joe Valerio, who they signed for that purpose and his first snap went directly right over Punter's Sean Landeta's head.
One of the first free agents Vermeil signed was Jeff Robinson for that reason and problem solved. Since Robinson, all pro as a long snapper, Chris Massey from Marshall all pro and Jake McQuaide from The Ohio State University all pro, so it's been quite a ride since 1997!
