The Seattle Seahawks answered many of their preseason "questions" on Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys; however, a question still remains at large.

And, it surrounds their current long snapper -- rookie Nolan Frese.

For the second week in a row, Frese had multiple bad snaps including one which led to punter Jon Ryan taking a hit. Ultimately, it worked out as a penalty for roughing the kicker extended an eventual touchdown drive. Despite that, the poor snapping can't continue to be a thorn in an otherwise amazing special teams' side.

"After three games of preseason are kickers are doing great," Carroll said in Thursday's postgame press conference. "Jon's ridiculously on fire right now. [Kicker Steven Hauschka] keeps hitting all his stuff, too. That's not to go unnoticed."

What also can't go unnoticed is how poor snapping threatens to unravel their good work. In addition to Ryan's hit on Thursday, a poor snap caused Hauschka to miss his only kick of the preseason short the previous week against the Minnesota Vikings. Carroll didn't address the issue following the Cowboys' win but did send a clear message in preparation for Dallas, after comments following the Vikings loss.

Offensive tackle Bradley Sowell was moved to second on the depth chart at the long snapping position. They also tried out linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis at the position during practice last week. Still, the pressure didn't elevate Frese's game on Thursday.

In fact, it got so bad. Former long snapper Clint Gresham had to thank fans, as they poured in support for him to be rehired.

The team can bring back Gresham and end this issue. However, it would cost them the same salary cap space that ultimately got Gresham cut in the first place.

"With Tyler [Lockett] back there in the returns and our guys booting it, we should have a real nice chance to have a good special teams group," Carroll said finishing his praise of Thursday's special teams' effort.

That fact holds true. As long as, their long snapping issues don't follow them into the season.
