The rookie we haven't talked about

[Millhouse]

I'm already over the bad hold by him. But not yet over the prior 3 plays tho..

Burrow and Jackson both played a near perfect game with the exception of the interception and Jackson's fumble. People predicted our D would get run over like a steamroller. McMoney, with a decent hold, makes that kick 9 out of 10 times. I don't know what your top 12 reasons are....

Mac makes that kick 9 out of 10 times....
And I'm not saying get rid of him, but people need to realize being the punter is more than kicking the ball. The conversations about Robbins did not take that into consideration. Holding is one of the things Huber exceled at

Only 1 of the 10 kickers with 4+ attempts of 50+ this year haven't missed at least 1.

Only 2 of the 22 kickers with 6+ attempts of 50+ last year didn't miss one.

Going 75% at 50+ is actually quite great. That's why you generally don't want to be a big 'ol coward and quit on offense to play for a 53 yard FG. You CAN make it, you CAN make it more often than not, but you're probably going to miss at least a couple.

Burrow and the offence certainly weren't a reason. The '12 reasons' were Lou Anarumo and the entire defence. If they manage a singular stop in a half of football, talking about whether a punter's ability to hold a ball for a long FG attempt is an irrelevance.

Evan has missed one under 50 yards this year. While I was confident of his chances, suggesting that a 56 yard FG to win the game is a long make and not a guarantee, is hardly the world's biggest claim is it...
