GOBILLS78 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 What's so lame about that play? It's brilliant. If you think that's brilliant, you're probably the same guy who beats up the middle school girls basketball coach because your daughter should be playing point guard, or the guy who calls the local paper to scream at the sports editor because he hasn't written an in-depth feature on your 9-year-old baseball phenom. Priorities are out of whack here. How, in a youth football game, does that play do any good for anybody involved? In the pros, yes, it would be brilliant.

judman Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think you should be banned for posting a youtube video featuring the Patriots scoring a touchdown. And to answer your question, that play takes too long to develop, IMO. I like the reverse play, throwing back to the QB (if you have an athletic QB who can run and catch at the same time). At the risk of further enraging you... Dan Marino's 'downing the ball to kill the clock fake' was an impressive move. I Don't like the 'fins, but liked the creativity in that play. Does anyone know if that had been done before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcape Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 i loved that pass to denney last year. i love when moorman fakes punts and runs it. usualy works. i remember one broken play where bledsoe fell onto the line as if he was trying to sneak it, then lumbered back a step and threw it to an open reciever. trick plays are realy fun. play-action and draw plays fall under that catagory.

Shamrock Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The TE route from the punt formation that the Giants sprung with Mark Bavaro (?) to beat San Fran in the NFC Champ game was a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 For me, one of the greatest, and simplest, was Dan Marino faking a spike, against the Jets, as time was running down, and then tossing a TD to a WR in the end zone. I think Bernie Kosar was the first I ever saw do this, but Marino's play is the best known... pretty smart, I am surprised more teams don't try it...

If I remember correctly, it was a 4th and 1 call, and he put his head down into the line over the RG, stopped, and passed the ball backwards to McGahee who went off LT for an easy 1st down.

Whites Bay Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 If I remember correctly, it was a 4th and 1 call, and he put his head down into the line over the RG, stopped, and passed the ball backwards to McGahee who went off LT for an easy 1st down. Yes, but was it intentional? Or did he just "mulligan" it? "Every Night" - Paul McCartney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point; I wasn't really thinking about that play in the context of pee-wee football. But to defend it in its context (a little), I guarantee you the kids who got burned on that play learned a valuable lesson, and likely won't get caught off guard again.
