That snap was a little at his ear. Mitch did a good job of getting it down for Robbie to win it. Great job, Wish!

Yep, he didn't even have time to spin it. Fortunately, when he set it down the laces were on the correct side.

Just to emphasize, that ball came out high...and way right. How WISH got that sucker down is just a sheer mystery. By rights he shouldn't have. Also keep in mind his talents are with his feet, rarely using hands in OZ ball. But he handled that snap like a dealer at the Vegas blackjack tables. Slick, neat , and most nobody noticed how bad that snap was .

Incredible effort for a guy not known for his hands. This was one slick job and won us the game. Thanks Mitch.

For realz. So nice to finally get a close win.

He didn't have a great game on KO or punts. He is a hair inconsistent. I expect that to improve in coming years.

Most, if not all KO went into endzone. Granted, most if not all came out again. What do you want him to do? Kick it into 2nd tier of the stands??
In college he had booming punts, but they went so far, getting coverage was an issue. Now, he doesn't try for obscene distance, he tries to NOT out-kick his coverage. If people are not happy with what is normally safe, but want to give returners more room to force a coverage breakdown, then I think you will never be happy with Mitch.
Saints, simply put, have a return guru who will almost always get yards. Man he was shifty.


Excellent post Who!!

Ideally, on the punts, I would've had him directionally kick it out of bounds. That's the only thing I would've done different.

How about kick every kickoff out the back of the EZ? They were torching us on kickoffs and setting up short fields. Why even risk it?

Is that a Hightower call or does Wish not have the leg?


Being the " Holder " on the field goal/PAT team is a specialist position, and coaching staffs usually but their best "Hands" players at that spot...I seem to recall that even Joe Montana was playing that spot early on in his career......Wish made a damm good catch and placement of the ball for the game winning Field Goal on the last play of the game....almost like he was grabbing for some " braces and bits ".....Good on ya mate.....!

Its almost the end of the season and you're still crying about this? Grow a nut, don't be THAT guy.
I think he had only one punt where it was like wut...
I don't like wish holding at all. Have a backup qb or Somone fast be the holder.

Wish is faster than both of the backup QBs.

I bet Wish would make a better QB as well. Not only can he throw it he can kick it accurately to them. Plus he can block and he can horse collar if someone starts messing with him

And that why Wish is the holder. We'd have a QB controversy if Wish started throwing.

But in fact, with a QB as a holder you are more open to fakes.
