The delay of game before a punt doesn’t usually pay off
No coach is going to lose his job or win a Super Bowl by foregoing a delay of game penalty on a punt. Honestly, it’s not that big of a deal, and you can count on one hand the number of times most teams do it during a season. But coaches are a generally meticulous bunch, so it surprises me that they would willingly give up 1 to 2 yards of anything. Plus, it’s really annoying to watch a guy wave his arms back and forth for twenty seconds waiting for a delay of game penalty.
