Cliff Montgomery of the Brooklyn Dodgers is rated as one of the shrewdest field generals in the game. Where teams use the Huddle, quarterbacks should stand in the huddle facing the opposing line so that they can study defense formations for flaws offering opportunities for a quick thrust through the line or a forward pass into a neglected zone. (One of the primary rules is, don't wait until fourth down to punt), as a general rule, punt on third down. Then if the kick is blocked and recovered you will have another chance, instead of losing the ball on downs inside your territory.
