Ever have one of those "OMG I'm dumb!" moments?
I've been dissecting the punt coverage code and can't find anything I want to change. I really like how it's set up. Then I took a look at the players to try a few things....
The Oranges have an embarrassingly bad special teams roster.
So I started down the road of trying to figure out how to make ridiculously bad ST be able to cover punts against a team who invested a lot into ST, when it occurred to me. Why the hell would I do that? If you don't invest in special teams, you should pay for it. That being said, we can't have teams giving up 6 punt return TDs a game. Then it dawned on me. There's actually such a simple option, that I feel dumb for not thinking of it sooner.
Why not just punt the ball out of bounds?
Ugh. If I'm the Oranges coach, I'm obviously not going to kick the ball to Urquhart every time. I'm also not going to go for it on 4th every time. I'll be kicking that damn ball as far out of bounds as I possibly can, and just take the poor punt distance.
I should have this implemented within the hour, so we're back on track!
