Punts vs. Field Goals

Our punter is also our holder.

I think we should leave Hunter in for the holder and let Suisham or someone else punt - not bring in a new guy.

We're talking a difference of `10-20 yards average between suisham and hunter as a punter. who says a new guy would be any better than suisham? if he were wouldn't he be on a team now?

On the other hand, with a new holder suisham could miss a game winning field goal. I think our defense can hold the extra 20 yards and since hunter should be back in a week or so - why get a new guy?

If we're backed up in our own endzone - here's an idea - call a hail marry to the 50 yard line or even the 40 and let campbell throw a strategic interception on third down. would a stat hungry safety or CB have the brains to drop the ball on purpose?

Now once we're inside their 40 just go for it on 4th down or kick a field goal if we can. so for the few fourth downs between the 30 and 50 - let suisham kick it 25 yards and trust the defense.

But lets not risk the 3 points until we're confident that our redzone problems are solved. (lets try cooley, kelly and marko on fade routes? how do you stop that?)
