Player Review
Thayer showed me some good things at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXIX Event on January 14-15, 2017. His balance is good and he is using his whole body well. As he continues to grow, Thayer will need to continue to widen out so he doesn't hit his left elbow on his knee as this will slow down his ball and play with his accuracy. Also, not winding up and making sure he is just letting the ball fly out of his hands will speed up the snap. The baby hitch will give a cue for the defender and the timer. Form is good...just needs to trust it by the time we get to VEGAS 30 in May. Good attitude.
Accomplishments
VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .93VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.28
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 16.67
All Long Snappers were tested on The Rubio Target. Each Long Snapper was tested on 12 punt snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set) and 12 pat snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set). Once the Long Snapper has completed the test, they earn an RSI which is the fairest and most accurate way to judge a Long Snapper by numbers. Please note: the RSI does not account for athleticism, spiral or mentality.
RSI (Rubio Standard Index): The RSI is the score divided by the average speed on The Rubio Target. You may obtain 2 bonus points for an average of .75-.79, 2 more bonus points for an average of .70-.74 and an additional 2 more bonus points if you average below .70.
