Last time we had a combined punter/place kicker we had the best athlete on the defensive side of the ball as holder.
Why not train a DB, LB, or special teams guy as holder? Say, f'rinstance, the return man?
When Nolan Cromwell held, his performance was as near-perfect as you can get. Ask DannyVillanueva.
When his punter/holder left Arizona, Niel Rackers started kicking wide right.
It happens. Holder makes a difference.
We have a never-held-before-in-his-life holder. Not Our kicker misses from every part of the field, none consistently. The dots are too close not to connect. I wonder: Have the Rams looked at the whole picture?
