Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 1187161, member: 78"] none of this stuff holds up at all. short fields are good. that's why you go for it when you're already in the short field. no one ever says short field when it comes to going for it. only when you punt. even if your odds of getting a 3 and out are better than converting, they have to be a lot better because you will lose field position compared to having the ball at the 37. If he thinks his defense is so lights out, why did he want to fake? if he's so sure fake punts work, we should do them more often. we don't so right there is proof that he doesn't think fakes have a high conversion rate. so clearly he didn't think his defense had a really high likelihood of getting a 3 and out they scored 2 TD in 2 consecutive possessions, then he tells his offense that he prefers a fake punt, then he tells them he prefers a punt. the offense responds to the coach telling them that they suck by scoring 3 pts the rest of the way [/QUOTE]
