Or he could have just kicked it out the back of the end zone. With that said, I really disagree with the announcers here. I'd rather give up a safety than give them the ball at the 1 or 2 yard line. This isn't the Cowboys D, a TD isn't guaranteed here.

I disagree. They now get 2 points and the ball. I'd rather them get the ball at the 1 or 2 and trust my defense to come up with a stop. As you said, it isn't the Cowboys D.

Haha my bad, when I said it's not the Cowboys D, I mean that it's not a guarantee they get a score after the safety punt.

Ultimately you're going from a pretty much guaranteed 3 points and possibly 7 to guaranteed 2 points and less possibly 9 points. I'd much rather take the safety there.

I can see it either way. I can see where a punter wouldn't know what to do.

They should seriously make pro athletes take a weekly Common Sense 101 class.
