Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1139077, member: 289"] Even when you get the same field position it's with a new series of downs. That's quite a difference. And if you try for it on fourth down and don't make it, it's the equivalent of a 30-40 yard loss, or a similar gain for the other team. That's also quite a difference. Like I said, I don't like the automatic punting philosophy but I understand that there are situations where it is a good idea. However, if we switch the field goal kicking to Murphy and he proves an effective long range kciker, I'll go with him trying tscore points over Dixon trying to place punts. But right now, from 40+ yards, Dixon is the better option. [/QUOTE]
