If the numbers truly support it, then NFL coaches, of all people, should adopt it. They are supposed to have balls and care more than anything about winning.

New, creative schemes always come up from minor leagues like high school and college before gaining general acceptance in the pros. The only way it happens is if the directive or permission comes down from the owner[1]: "I will allow you to never punt for two seasons or until we have an adequate sample size to judge this method."
