Exactly.

Of course, the thing is, I don't think it confers an advantage, and it's just stupid to watch.

Ask Lane Kiffin, Mike Shanahan, Romeo Crennel, Sebastian Janikowski, Jason Elam, and Phil Dawson about that.

Your sample size astounds me.

You said you don't think it confers an advantage. That's THIS YEAR. Do you really want me to go research how many times someone has called a time out before a FG and on the next attempt, the kick failed? Christ.

By your argument, then, what sample size do you want to show that it can work? Is there one?

[/ QUOTE ]

People already have, and no, there isn't a significant advantage. At least to the old method of 'icing' the kicker - but usually there wasn't a kick already made as in these examples.

I don't believe there is a "significant" advantage either. But on that same note, if there is any chance it will work, a coach should definitely do it.

I said it before, the only way to change this is to take away the coach's TO. And if that happens, fine. But it has worked, and there's any number of things that can change when you call that time out. That's all.

LOL @ "your sample size is astounding" though when someone says they don't think it confers an advantage and I show 3 times its worked this year.
