    I would also think there is the BOZ factor in deciding to go for it or just take the points.

    100% and I wouldn’t see that changing

    Where you take the three from is longer with Boz than many other kickers

    Waiting on the 4 pointer....

    The NFL is planning to bring in a UFL rule that could change scoring. The proposal would make field goals from 60 yards or longer worth four points instead of three. Though the NFL Competition Committee has not officially proposed the rule yet, the possibilities are there. However, Dallas Cowboys star Brandon Aubrey is not so impressed by the rule.

    “I think it’s a little weird,” Aubrey told ESPN. “Kind of incentivizes you to stall the drive in a certain spot. It makes you really, really question your playcalling around that 50-yard line area. It’s interesting for kickers that have the leg to get it there, maybe [there’s] a little bit more value there. But it kind of perverts the incentives of football, where the goal is to get it as close to the other person’s half as possible. So, I’m conflicted on it. I like it for the kickers. I think it’s a nightmare for the playcallers.”

    In the UFL’s United Bowl last year, the DC Defenders needed points late in the game, and coach Shannon Harris faced a third-and-long. Instead of calling a play to gain yards, he purposely called a play that lost two yards. He then sent out kicker Matt McCrane at the exact 60-yard distance needed for a four-point field goal attempt. The attempt was successful, and the Defenders won the game 58-34.

    UFL’s kickers went 4-for-4 on such field goals during the playoffs, ESPN reported.

    Im sure you don't. People like you can't be wrong, you just move the goal post, lie, or say you don't care when you are wrong. LOL

    I can see how this rule could bring Matt Canada back into the league. If you are down by four with 30 seconds left and have the ball on the opponent's 35 yard line, then you need to lose at least 7 yards to set up the game tying 60 yard FG. No offensive coordinator was better at losing yards than Canada.
