I don't get it. From reading the paper, watching a scrimmage and observing several practices, Greenberg has been the best kicker. His FG's and extra points have been good, and his kickoffs have been fine.

“We’ll go with Chris it looks like because he’s been on the field,” Delaney said. “Unless something drastic were to happen in the next week."
“We’ll try to give Daniel some opportunities that are meaningful and start to make a decision there. Harrison came out of spring the No. 1 guy and he’s still battling like heck. He was very good yesterday and today.”
"On Friday morning all three place-kickers hit from 35 yards. Then Lider went into a funk, missing wide left from 40 yards and wide right from 44. Greenberg was the only one to hit from all three distances (35, 40 and 44)."
From the article about Thursday's practice:
"Early in practice Lider missed from 42 yards with a swirling wind. Sullivan and Harrison Greenberg hit from that distance and the former showed off his superior leg strength."
"When the kickers took the field for a second time, all three hit from 38 yards with Sullivan showing the most lift. They moved back to 40 where Lider had his kick blocked, Sullivan was wide left and Greenberg knocked it through off the upright. Later Lider, Sullivan and Greenberg all hit from 43 yards."

At the Saturday scrimmage, Greenberg made all of his kicks. Lider missed one from 20.
I've generally supportive of coaches, and have been supportive of these coaches, but, from where I sit (which is far away admittedly), I don't get this decision.
