They're not learning any playbooks, and it's not like certain teams snap and hold differently. You see the ball, you kick the ball. That's pretty much it. Especially with an experienced pro like Gould, I don't foresee any problems with whatever team he joins.
I would suspect that they do, intentional or not. However, that said, I personally would not be against upgrading a kicker at this point because there are no other game planning tactics to be overcome as you said. I guess what I should have stated in my previous post is that I would understand the logical thought process of the team if they decided not to. I certainly do agree in this instance that the improvements in play would outweigh the negative aspect of getting acquainted with the nuances of the holder and snapper.
