What was the explanation for punting on the Jets 33 yard line?

We wound up netting 13 yards on the punt.... going for it would’ve been better than punting unless we could get a coffin corner punt out at the 1 yard line, which we couldn’t.

Yes, in retrospect, it would have been better to go for it.  But ideally you would hope your punter is able to pin the opposing team in that situation.

Until Santoso starts missing a bunch of kicks, I'm going to blame Rhule and his overly conservative gameplan before I assume Santoso is incapable of making a 50 yard kick, particularly since he was 1 for 1 from 50+ in the preseason and outside of the missed XP, has been hitting his kicks right down the middle. Remember when Rivera would punt every time we had a potential 50+ yarder with Gano and he has been one of the most accurate long ball kickers since then? Could be seeing flashes of that. I also think if we were playing a high flying offense like Tampa or KC, no way we don't either go for it or kick the fg.
