Didn't we just miss an extra point because of botched hold in the Giants game that haunted us all game?

I'm just saying.


Yes. In fact we had two missed PAT's but both were because of bobbled snaps and not Rackers fault.
I'm not saying we can't find another holder, I'm saying we will all be wondering about Rackers mindset after last years debacle.

It is pretty simple... Aussie Rules Football player... we need someone who could actually tackle on ST, so there it is...

I still think they should get Leinart in there to hold. I think it would be good for him to be involved and on the field all the time. The punter makes sense in terms of injury but there hasn't exactly been stability with the holder position anyway.

If Leinart becomes the starter, then move down the line to the next holder.

Not a bad idea...!!! Maybe we could pull off a trick play or two...!!!


:D

I think the reason thay use the punter as a holder is to not take another player from the main practice. This way the punter, kicker, and snapper can go do their thing all practice.

That's the reason generally given...

But I still think it's stupid!
