Yeah, you know we’re smack in the middle of the NFL’s dead period if we’re doing a film breakdown on a holder.
Wait a minute … did I just make a disparaging remark about holders? Shame on me! The holder position deserves more attention, and I’m here to give it just that.
If you don’t think holders are important, tell that to Tony Romo and the 2006 Dallas Cowboys, and let me know what you hear back.
Rookie punter Braden Mann handled the holding duties for the Jets throughout his rookie season, catching snaps from stud long snapper Thomas Hennessy.
