Do you agree with the fake field-goal punt call?

[Rain Man]

This is such a rare play that I can't say that I supported it or opposed it beforehand. When was the last time we saw a fake field goal with a pooch punt? I think Cassel did it once out of a third-down formation, but I can't even remember it being run out of a field goal formation.

If you had asked me ahead of time, I probably would have said to go for the field goal since we have Butker, the greatest kicker of all time. But as O.City alluded, if the wind was a factor maybe Butker was concerned and I'd trust his judgment.

Fantastic execution, though.

I'm curious about the play, though. It starts up and Allegretti bursts downfield like a racing ox. Townsend swings out and then downfield.

Five seconds later you see Winchester, who was the long snapper, and then Gray shows up pretty much after the play is dead. So first off, why wasn't Gray hustling downfield? It looks like he fell on the initial block but then just stood there for a while afterwards.

And Blake Bell is the wide guy on the other side next to Allegretti. Why did Bell not hustle downfield? I get that you have to make an initial screen to keep the kick from being blocked, but if the ball is pooched it seems like you'd want guys hustling down as soon as it's kicked. The only two who do so are Allegretti and Townsend. Is that by design?
