Good for this guy. While the punt can be a smart strategic play, I'll never understand how it became the standard 4th down play call. It's much easier to win games with four downs than three. The team that punts is basically handicapping himself.

I'd like to see the punt head the way of the drop kick, but that's not happening in my lifetime.
