Kinda helps if your holder does his job.

I think there's some kind of weird psychological disadvantage of being able to frame the hold and kick it without the usual quick snap and hold they are used to. You see kickers in pre-game warmup making field goals up to 70 yards with a snapper and holder, and taking the normal two-step stance.

Perhaps all the time and the running start threw off his kicking rhythm.

I would think you are right. They reset the hold about 5 times from what I saw so there was obviously a little bit of confusion between them as to what exactly was wanted.
