Is there a rule that says you have to hike a field goal straight back?
If the ball is lined up on the hash marks, couldn't the holder line up a little bit more centered? It might be too hard to catch for a right-footed kicker, if the ball was originally on the right hash, but other than that, couldn't it help out the kicker?
For a long time I thought this way, but I just realized while revisiting the issue that if they snapped it at an angle, it might be easier to block the kick because the O-line would be off-center.
