[QUOTE="BrokenArrow, post: 933958, member: 12225"] He didn't suddenly lose the ability to kick after making a bazillion in a row before getting stuck with a new holder and snapper. No, his snapper threw back a wobbler, which caused our questionable holder to put it on the ground at the wrong angle and probably the wrong spot, which is more than enough to turn a close make into a miss. The kicker marks his steps in response the the "mark" that the holder indicates with his finger. That's where the ball is expected to be, because kicking is muscle memory. if the ball misses the mark it will be either pushed or pulled. The ball is only on the ground for .2-.3 seconds before it's kicked. The brain simply doesn't work fast enough for the kicker to change anything, and even if he did, he's already 80% through his motion. There's a large gap between "imperfect" and "bad." Most of his misses have had holds and/or snaps when trended toward the BAD part of that spectrum. You might be surprised how perfect those guys have to be. People always underestimate their role in the kick. [/QUOTE]
