Calling all football coaches, I have a question for you?

You are the head coach of a divisional playoff team. Biggest game of the season.

Would you put a rookie back to catch punts?

I just don't understand the logic. There's certainly someone on the team that can catch the football that has some more experience no?

You put back there the guy that got you where you are. At this point you have weighed all your options and have decided on who gives you the best chance as a returner. If it so happens to be a Rookie than that is who you play...

I just feel like Cobb has been the man all year. He's reliable, has experience and will make explosive plays for you.

Then you put a rookie back there and he makes the biggest mistake in the game thus far. It doesn't make sense to me.
