Giants’ Zak DeOssie transition couldn’t have gone better

On the bright side of a dark 31-13 loss to the Packers, the Giants on Sunday made a seamless transition at long snapper, with Zak DeOssie put on injured reserve this past week and Colin Holba handling those duties without any issues.

Holba, 25, appeared in 13 games the past three years for the 49ers and Jaguars, and in his Giants debut, despite rain and snow, successfully executed two snaps on Aldrick Rosas field goals and one on Riley Dixon’s lone punt.

DeOssie has been with the Giants since 2007, and his run of 13 years as the long snapper appears at an end.
