Re: 1st and 15 or 2nd and 10?
I think it depends pretty heavily on the quality of your offense. Really good offenses should take 1st and 15, bad ones should take 2nd and ten. No idea if thats right, it just seems like its easier for a good offense to run bad and have to punt with less downs, the yards don't matter as much, and a bad offense can luckbox a big play but they cant afford to waste yards. Since most of their plays are for small amounts the yards are worth more.
Could it be that as long as you have more than 5 yards per play average you should always be taking the 1st and 15?
