In Response To: Dallas's late punt (Joe Russell)

...As I understand, computers are not allowed during the game. Not sure if that is true, but I think so. I would then instruct the head coach to always follow the advice of his strategic assistant.

Re: computer usage forbidden during the game -- it's true. No cellphones either. (Just ask Jim Mora, Jr. :)

Head coaches don't even want the information, even when they can veto it. Better to waste a timeout and discuss it between a bunch of assistants, QB's etc. That kind of collaboration surely gets you farther than hundreds of thousands of trials.

Egos are alive and well in the NFL head coaching ranks.
