We've gone for it on fourth down 11 times in 12 games; last year we went for it 10 times in 13 games.  That doesn't seem to be a meaningful difference to me, though one would have to look at the particular situations to be sure.  But at most there are only a couple of times over the course of the year where he went for it this year and wouldn't have gone for it last year... maybe.

Right, you'd have to count up all the 4th and 1-3 punts in 2014 vs 2015 to know for sure. But I think there have been far fewer punts this year, mostly because we're much better at converting on 3rd down, but also partly we're more likely to go for it when we don't absolutely have to.
