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.
McPherson would have had to back out of that kick at the last second for them to get a 2nd try. I doubt he would have had time.
