Ashby’s report is simple because his job is simple in theory and unforgiving in practice: make the kick operation boring. The kicker's comments point to the value of timing and trust across the long snapper-holder-kicker trio.
Strengths: Specialist focus, operational trust and a role built on repeatability.
Weaknesses: There is virtually no room for a bad snap; the position offers little recovery margin.
