Blocks, shanked punts, good returns all could of happened. I'm sure they all factored into Mike Smith's decision. Most importantly it was only half a yard if it was 4th and 2 or 4th and 3 that would be different, but we would expect to get that half a yard 80/90% of the time, unfortunately we didn't on this occasion, but I love that Smith is aggressive, and we play to win rather than not lose. This time it backfired, but I am fully confident that the next time we try a move like this it will pay off for the Falcons.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the 4th and inches call. I would rather take my chances with Brees and company at there own 30 yard line, instead of giving them the ball on our 30 and them already in field goal range. In my eyes it was a bad call. But props for being aggressive Mike. Well said Scott. I’m gonna have to disagree with you on the 4th and inches call.
