We will see if the new guy has any trouble holding for FGs. The criticism Jones gets for punting is way overblown...just because they don't see him booting punts 50+ yards every time. There's more to punting than simply distance. Jones is a hang-time/directional punter - his job is to make sure that he angles punts to give the coverage team enough time to get down the field and limit returns. He is near the top of the league for punters with the least amount of return yards allowed so he's doing his job.

I know everyone wants a guy like Johnny Hekker but sometimes you can outkick your coverage and allow a big return...the Dolphins returned one for a TD vs. the Rams this past week.

Perhaps they can get Romo to come down from the broadcast booth and be the holder. :p
