The defense faces trash cans. Sometimes all 11 opposing players are represented by props. Sometimes it's just a few trash cans mixed in with practice-squad players, a group not on the Falcons' active roster who practice with the team."

FluffHead Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 not an uncommon practice. when teaching alignments and assignments the high school I coach at often uses tires or garbage cans as offensive linemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The Bills do the same thing, the only difference is they have most of their trash cans signed to the 53 man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
