You've got 20 yards of sideline to work with. If you can't get it out between the goal line and the 20 I find another punter. First and ten from the 17 is better than first and ten from the 20, plainly.

Today the fashion is to go for the home run every possible punt. It's crazy.

I'm not disagreeing. It's just that I was sick of watching our punts sail out near the five and watch the marionette march upfield and stop at the 15.

If this were baseball, some dweeb with a slide rule would tell us that one strategy was stupid and should never ever be attempted.

No, no, I totally understand. That *was* frustrating.
