wider data sets that include teams with big leads doesn't apply to teams that are losing

even you're sharp enough to know that if you punt on 4th and 1 when you're losing on the last play of the game (very narrow scenario) and justify it by looking at a wide data set that includes teams that are ahead, you might be a fool

trailing in the 4th with a 4th and 1 is not that narrow a scenario.  81 examples during marrone's tenure.  Marrone punts 3 out of 5 times.  Everyone else punts 2 out of 76 times.

i'm sorry that 81 is too small a data set for you.  maybe we should include teams with big leads to make that number bigger even though it would be completely stupid

What are you talking about trestman for?  if i were arguing that marrone should go for it on 4th and 5 from their own 15 yard line in the second quarter, you might have a point.  the stuff that marrone is getting slaughtered for is not in line with the rest of the league

game in front of him... down 10 to miami in the 4th punting on the other side of the 50.
