While I agree with that to a point, he would’ve had to lose respect of the players before. Think they would’ve tried that with Payton? Mora? Doubtful

Payton would've gone for the TD. And the players did tell the Falcons that they were going to try for a TD out of the formation. Watch the play and the Falcons DL and LBs definitely crashed down into the box like it was a regular play.
