Think about.
As a holder, you have to fight your natural instinct to move your hand, head, and body away from the foot kicking.
I can imagine the first 20-30 times you do it, you are moving, at least a bit, while the kicker is striking the ball.

As Colquitt becomes more comfortable with holding, and Tynes becomes more confident in Colquitt, the problems should start working themselves out.

I always think one of the back up QBs should be the holder to keep the possibility of a fake and a pass out of kicking formation alive.
