It appears as if the scoreboard will somehow affect play and be a novelty in Dallas.
Things that will be different from normal stadium.
1. Long high kicks will often be repunted. these are among the best kicks with long distance and less returns due to height.
2. Punters will be trying to 'miss' the board, angle punts etc.
3. Lower a higher percentage of lower punts will lead to more punt returns and better field position.
My thoughts are that there are an average of 9 punts in an NFL game, the average length is 44 yards per. My goal is to estimate the average difference in field position, which i estimate to be positive, based on the current conditions in Cowboy stadium.
Ideas:
-on average will punts be shorter by 2%, 5%...?
- will there be one punt that is totally affected to the point of a shank on average in a game - incidently, this would go the furthest to promote scoring, much more so than the average being affected.
Finally if there is some influence is it enough to gain an advantage on the line, is the value 1 point to the over, 2 points to the over, no points to the over, or maybe even it will promote less scoring.... i'm open to all ideas.
This can be passed off as nothing... or what difference does a point make? the answer is a lot, especially on totals 37, 38, 41, 43, 44. A huge difference, enough to turn a losing player into a winning player.
Thoughts....??
