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.
Well, the punter is a drdicated special teamer. The QB may have to play in the games if QB1 gets hurt. Plus oft times the punter is the PK#2 and has some experience kicking. It helps.
