Lack of people like Ryan in the ears of HCs on game day was a big topic on
@GeoffPMosher’s Week 4 preview show.
Really would love to hear the explanation from Eagles coaching for why they punted 4th and 1 down 13 from the 49 yard line on Monday, but went for 4th and 1.5 *up 10* with 16 minutes left in the game from their own 38 yard line.
Do not believe Eagles have anyone in the booth with an actual quantitative background. The long 1 distance, score margin, field position, weather conditions, and OL health issues would all push this towards punting.
Tush push with 1.5 yards has also not been good around league.
These decisions patterns show a limited grasp for the underlying models.
