Nextmanup Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I'm surprised the act of holding the ball is complex enough that some are considered "elite" at it but others are not. It seems to me like either you can do it or you can't, and those that can are pretty much all the same. I often watch holders during games and admire how well they do their job. Aside from the odd mistake, it seems like ALL OF THEM are very good at it. They calmly catch the ball, place it down, rotate the laces away and get their holding hand/arm out of the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ST only guys are Tyler Matakevich, Matt Haack, Tyler Bass, Reid Ferguson and Taiwan Jones. That’s it. Our 4th string RB and 4th string LB. What’s the problem? I have heard the idea floated around to bring up the other punter to punt and keep Haack active to hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make Trubitsky the holder, or a WR if you are going to use the other punter. I don’t care how great Haak is as a holder. If he can’t punt, you can’t waste a spot. Other guys can hold if need be but someone needs to punt. A hell of alot better then last weekend. What happened to an athlete doing 100% of his job. Haack is a great holder but mediocre punter. Tremaine is an amazing pass cover mike but struggles at run support. Everyone is a specialist now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I honestly would roll with another punter off the street for the playoffs and let Hack be the holder. One player at the end of your bench isn’t going to make or break you. 11 minutes ago, LABILLBACKER said: What happened to an athlete doing 100% of his job.

That’s just the crap they try to say because he’s fast, he gets looked off so easy it’s pathetic. 12 minutes ago, LABILLBACKER said: What happened to an athlete doing 100% of his job.

Is Gillan not a good holder for FGs? And if they do keep Haack punting, I'd have him set-up a few yards back. The extra yards given up in field position might be worth not getting blocked.

Haack is averaging 42.9 ypp (37 net). This is why they overpaid for Haack- he might not be great at punting professionally speaking, but we rarely need it but even so it is 4 yards of field position on average. if he gives us one field goal in the playoffs due to his holding he is worth itAs for the shanks I think it was him learning how to kick in Buffalo. I expect him to just kick it hard from now on and not try and place it so much. Edited January 13, 2022 by Buffalo Timmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
