What would you prefer?

defer.................always want the ball to start the second half.....................that way if we are trailing, we can get back into the game and if we are leading, we can try to extend it.

i understand that stance..but in a way i want to see if this o-line is ready to impose their will.

Well, then we defer to a 7 point hole to start the game. Just like last time.

If we're assuming that our defense is going to get blasted again, then it's even more reason to defer until the second half. If we take the ball first, Garrett is much more likely to be conservative and try to play the "establish the run" and "field position" game, such as punting from the Eagles' 36-yard line. If we take the ball first in the second half instead, Garrett might understand that we actually need to score points to win, not just run the clock and punt.

I don't trust our d no matter what half it is.

It would be ideal to defer and on the first series of the game, get a 3&out...best case scenario

If we win that coin toss, hold onto that feeling it may be the last victory of the day if we don't have a better defensive gameplan

I would let the weather dictate. If weather is not a factor I would prefer to set the tempo with the offense and receive.

Defer.

I think the pyschological effect is greater if we stop them on the first drive of the as opposed to us scoring on the first drive of teh game.

Our offense has been slow on opening drives recently...think we started off well, but that has changed...
