While similar motions they are pretty different in execution, especially while wearing pads. The shotgun snap is more of a quick wrist movement with a little arm, while the long snap is a whole-body movement. Probably the biggest reason that you don't see the same guys doing it in the NFL is because the center trains with the linemen all day in practices and works on identifying protection schemes. He doesn't have the time to be working on his snaps with the punter and FG holder.As for combining the kicking, they could be done by the same guy but not as well as they are done by specialists. One could speculate that your leg becomes highly trained in one motion and to switch back and forth during a game could lead to higher injury occurrences.</blockquote>
