Would Miles ever punt on third down?

No.

When we have arguably the best punter in the nation come on

I remember when that was not so uncommon. The game has changed and as it has, this type of play is no longer.

at least you got something right in this thread

1. You need to be in a game where field position is important

2. You need to do it as a "surprise" to try to maximize field position change

3. You would have to be in 3rd and very long so the possibility of actually getting a 1st down is slim

4. You need a QB who can actually punt


I remember the Eagles did it once with Cunningham. They were in a 3rd and long from inside there 20. They ended up getting like a 70 yd punt with the roll. Cunningham actually was the emergency punter over the K from the Eagles (This was mentioned after he punted on the broadcast).

I don't think we'll get to any unmanageable 3rd downs though anyway, pretty disciplined squad.

I don't know that Miles would do it.. but I personally love plays like this that are "outside of the box".

When you'd mention something like this, the first response is always "NO! What are you stupid"?

But when you actually sit down and think about it, sometimes a play like that are actually a pretty good idea.

This is one reason that I never ever count out ideas that are "outside of the box" just because it isn't conventional.

Those jokes aren't old yet, are they?

Tried this in NCAA 2012... not so good.
