We are one of the best if not the best at scoring a TD on the first drive to start the game. Coach knows this and that is why he likes to take the kickoff.
I just don't like it though. It sets us up with momentum, and we could easily go down 0-7 if we didn't get the opening kick off, but halftime is like a momentum reset.
I don't want the momentum in the first half. I want the momentum in the 2nd half when it matters. So even though we get that first TD, alot of times we let the other team score after half, and from then on they have the momentum.
We should just save our scripted plays that we normally start out with for the 2nd half kick off.
But I don't think it's a huge deal, if we sucked at scoring on the first drive then obviously we would defer, but we are so good at it I don't think Payton will ever change.
