Should We Start Punting on 3rd Down?

Might as well with the ultra-conservative, close-to-the-vest play calling we're seeing in the first half. At least we'll gain a little field position yardage by catching them off-guard. With an o-line this awful, we need Smith in the shotgun to maximize the amount of time he has in the pocket.

Why wait until 3rd? Andy Lee is one of our best and most consistant performers. Get him on the field early and often!!

PRO BOWL!!
