Many have probably already asked themselves this, some no doubt smarter than I in football matters know the possible reasons why…but why are the Bengals (and other teams that do it) so enamored with their punter being the holder? Why isn’t the backup QB and the third stringer being coached to be the holder on kicks? It just seems to have more benefits than having your punter do it.
As someone mentioned, it's actually because of the potential of QB#2 becoming the starter mid game. You won't send him out to be the holder at that point and so then you not only messed up your offense with the injury but the mechanics of your kicking game have now changed.
