At the moment it happened and I saw it was the rookie, I said same thing. But it does make sense to have the punter be the holder. Main reason is practice time. Browning probably just doesnt have the time in practice to work on holding. And the punter, placekicker, and snapper can practice the entire time.

The main gripe I have on that whole situation is not trying for the field goal on first down when they went into those 3 plays with the mindset of settling for a field goal already. Get a bad snap or a bad hold, at least have a chance next two plays to get those yards back for a reasonable shot. But they decided to run it 3 times up the gut which they had poor production in the game, and that bit them hard on the 4th down mis-hold.
