The preseason is about to start, which means roster construction talk is about to hit an all-time high. People are often reminded to consider special teams in the equation when they make mock 53-man rosters, but what does that really mean?

Obviously, the long snapper is the long snapper and long snaps to the punter, playing punter, who then punts.
