Punting on the Arizona 35 rather than kicking a field goal

[Sam Mills Fan]

Why?

[Cat'sGrowl]

Rivera has already addressed this.

Yea I was kinda surprised about this also, can someone fill me in on what his reasoning was or what he said about it?

Rivera has already addressed this.

And the reason was?

Field position.

If Baker doesn't boot it in the endzone, we would pin them in the ten, and hopefully get the ball back with great field position.

Didn't say I agreed with move. If 52 yards is the outer edges of Olindo's range, then that's troubling. Kasay could still boot it farther than that.

52 yards was just about Kasay's max.....he could get one or two more yards but those are tough ones. Based on the time left....I don't think Rivera's call was bad. Hindsight is a bitch.

If you knew that 35 was out of your kickers range, why would you not at least run a draw play to at least give you a chance for a 3-pt lead. Yea its a Fox move, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have been the right move.

[Mr. Scot]

Rivera's still a rookie too.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Even if we pin them on the 10, that's still just a net of 25. Bad, bad move.

[Kevin Greene]

But if Mare misses they get the ball on the 42.

hehehehe

[Sam Mills Fan]

Why would you dump your 16-year vet original kicker who could still make them from that distance in favor of a guy making more money than just about any other kicker in the league and worry that he can't make it from that distance? Isn't that troubling?

[Kevin Greene]

Kasay would be yet another year older and carrying a kickoff only specialist was a joke.

[Darth Biscuit]

I understand the call, but I think it was the wrong one... should have tried a FG. Oh well... he's learning too.
