Darren Simmons officially blames all 3 of the FG specialists for the misses.
Sometimes it was the snap, sometimes it was the hold, and like in LA sometimes it was all on Evan
Quote:“It's just been inconsistency at all three levels,” he said. “It obviously starts sometimes with the snap, and then it goes to the hold and then it comes to him. For whatever reason, they haven't put that all together yet and developed that level of trust.
“The consistency of the operation, it's something that to become more habit, and you've just got to see it time and again,” Simmons added. “They have to develop that. And they will. They'll get there. I have no doubt in my mind. It's just taking longer than I thought it would.”
Quote:“Sometimes it's just attention to detail with alignments,” Simmons said. “We do a lot of things pre-snap to adjust our angle that we snap it at, to help with our protections. And I think sometimes the attention to detail of Cal's alignment gets off a little bit.
“And the natural tendency for a snapper is to snap it back inside toward the holder's body,” he continued. “That's the comfort zone. Nobody wants to snap it out where the holder can't get to it. Sometimes when he misses, he misses inside a bit. But he’s been much better.”
Controlling the laces has been one of the biggest issues where consistency has lagged.
