Patrick Crayton has been practicing holding on field goals and extra points in back up situations. Mat McBriar and Romo will still be the first 2 options for a holder, but this brings up 2 questions. 1) Why can't Jon Kitna hold anything but a clipboard, and 2) why don't more teams use better athletes at the holder position. This would give a team the ability to have fakes more often, or at least the threat of a fake. The primary benefit would be that the threat of tricking up a play on a 49-yd FG attempt on 4th and 3 would keep the defense from selling out up the middle to block the kick. Monday, July 26, 2010
