So why not burn one on the long FG 'trial' and if you see your kicker doesn't have the leg for it, you go out there and do the hail mary.
I wouldn't use my last timeout on something like that, nor would I give up a pass play or time off the clock. But in the situation I just described, there's nothing to be lost by the effort.

What I'm talking about is, rather than limiting yourself to sideline routes on that play where he hit the short pass that set them up at the 48, I use the middle of the field to give my team a better chance to get into more favorable FG range.
