I believe the drop can be no closer to the hole and a maximum of two club lengths from where the drop hits the ground. Thus, you can argue that you have a little leeway in where you drop it. It's not meant to be an exact thing and you are not expected to put it back in your original divot. I'd definitely drop it behind the original location, especially on a downslope.
Regardless of what he said, he didn't drop it, or play it, from two yards further back. It looked like maybe 2-3 feet and definitely less than one club length.
Read the rule book. It will make your head hurt.
