DeOssie - was he out during that game?
Good job on Alford

He snapped for Tynes' attempt to win it on the final play of regulation and he snapped so high that Tynes duck hooked the kick sending it into overtime. In spite of that Alford was able to make an acceptable snap under extreme pressure in OT. He was definitely an unsung hero in that game.

To the best of my knowledge the Giants rotated long snappers that year; Alford handled field goals and DeOssie punts.
Probably as nerve-wracking a play as I ever

Jack Bucks' great call on the Brady sack in the Super Bowl.
Alford was the short snapper and DeOssie the long snapper in 07  
regulator : 6/16/2021 4:38 pm : link
both from that 2007 draft class

IIRC, didn't he have a (beautiful) sack on Brady towards the end of the SB? I think it was him who came right up the middle (fast) and put Brady on his back. I think it was him?
