Philadelphia Eagles place kicker Jake Elliott defended a tactic the team uses during field goals and extra points after he and punter Arryn Siposs — who acts as the holder — were flagged for potentially cheating.
The post also cited other kickers appearing to use a similar tactic. On Wednesday, Elliott said the Eagles spoke to league officials about their process and that the league signed off.
Elliott, 27, is coming off of a Pro Bowl season last year and converted 20 of his 23 attempts this season, including a long from 56 yards out. He also connected on 51 of 53 of his extra points., Elliott converted two attempted field goals and all six extra point tries. When pressed further and asked if leaving a visual cue would help, he added:"Yeah, you leave a visual spot down there, it helps."
