Preseason Thinking

When Gibbs went for the FG when it was 4th and G. Obviously, in a real game that's the correct decesion, but with a team that has such a poor record in the red zone (even if it's first down) shouldn't we use a pressure situation like that for practice? I know you want to win preseason games, but I think this is the time to really work some plays, see how they'll do.

How important is it for a FG unit to get in-game experience (this is a legitimate question) do gametimes represent something (other than pressure, which either of our experienced kickers don't exactly need) that can't be recreated in practice?
