It is actually for every person. I want my Long Snappers to be toeing that line and have the killer instinct of a shark. When you go head to head with another Long Snapper, you should almost feel bad for them since you know you are going to crush them. Confidence is backing what you say up without being an idiot about the whole thing. Cockiness is bragging about what you are doing while being an idiot about the whole thing.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/signature.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2536\" src=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/signature.jpg\" alt=\"signature\" width=\"150\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember, if you would like to ASK RUBIO a question on any topic (honestly, it shouldn\u2019t be on Long Snapping since you can find almost all questions answered on my <a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a> and on <a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">RubioLongSnapping.com<\/a>, just go ahead and send your question(s)\u00a0to Rubio@RubioLongSnapping.com with the subject line: ASK RUBIO.<a href=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ask-Rubio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4234\" src=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ask-Rubio.jpg\" alt=\"Ask Rubio\" width=\"550\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ask-Rubio.jpg 612w, https:\/\/rubiosblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ask-Rubio-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"bawpvc-ajax-counter\" data-id=\"4358\">1092<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Rubio&#8230;.
