If he's hitting from 65, that means getting to the 48, and Huber only averages 46 per punt. It almost might be worth it to try to improve Chrisman's accuracy so that, in the rare instance that we don't get too far downfield, Chrisman can pin them deep.
You can't regularly rely on your kicker to hit 65 yard field goals. The Bengals will probably never use McPherson to try one that long unless it's going into half or end the game.
If our defense is as good as we hope it makes way more sense to pin the other team deep and then get the back back with good field position than risk giving them the ball at the 45.
