wjag Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 On 5/2/2022 at 2:42 PM, 13 Second Prevent Defense said: 32 out of 32 teams use the punter as the holder. So it is not Beane and McD. My understanding is yhey do this partly because of the CBA limiting practice time. Taking a backup QB to hold takes him away from his primary job and there are not that many hours you are allowed to practice. I like the idea of putting Josh there as a decoy. Do it when you want them to burn a timeout. 10 times out of 10 if done sparingly, the defense would call a timeout. And then have him jog off the field laughing.

DCofNC Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 1 hour ago, WhoTom said: When people looked at Josh's low completion ratio coming out of college, they said, "You can't fix accuracy at this level." So by comparing him to Josh, are you suggesting that you can, in fact, fix holding at this level? Nailed it. 32 minutes ago, wjag said: I like the idea of putting Josh there as a decoy.

Honestly, I could see it on FGs, not extra points. If they don’t catch it, let him fire it or run. I think you are right, it would just be a time out burner until somebody said screw it, let’s see you actually run the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Second time in as many days talking about Holding) Instill don’t get this. If he didn’t hold in college someone else did. Why can’t someone else hold here? It can’t be that complex.

Since he was FG Kicker and Punter they saved a roster spot and still used another punter/kicker as the holder. Helps to have unlimited rosters in college. We are not benching Bass for Araiza as kicker. Nor will they have a pure holder position as 4th STer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laces out Who ever it is that is the fg holder has to have the spare time within the practice sessions to work with the fg unit to get things down which is why they don't use a bu qb these days as they did when Reich was the holder in the glory years. Can't take the already limited reps from the bu qb in practice to have him work with the fg unit to get on same page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
