bmeadows 4 Posted September 24 Due to all the recent blocked field goals lately, is it an option to move the holder back an additional 3 to 5 yards? It would be a longer kick, but more likely to not get blocked especially in game winning kick situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was an option we would definitely see this on shorter FGs, IE under 40 yards, to guarantee it won't get blocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought they already did that on the longer field goals. as those are more line drives they are easier to block than the short ones because they dont get as much height when crossing the LOS.
