in 2008, it was the pittsburgh steelers that had long snapper problems. during an october 26, 2008 game against the new york giants, the team's regular long snapper, greg warren, was injured with what was eventually revealed to be a season-ending torn acl. linebacker james harrison, who had served in 2003 as the long snapper for the rhein fire of nfl europe, volunteered to replace warren. in the fourth quarter, harrison's first and only snap sailed over punter mitch berger's head and through the end zone for a safety. this tied the score and gave the giants good field position on the ensuing kick, resulting in the go-ahead touchdown late in the game. warren sustained a second acl tear in december 2009, though this occurred on the last play of a december 20 game against the green bay packers, giving the steelers adequate time to sign replacement jared retkofsky, who had also been signed to replace warren after his injury in 2008.
