What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

I got into a conversation with a fellow New Orleans Saints fan, and we got into a discussion of our favorite New Orleans Saints play of all time.

For obvious reasons, Tracy Porter's game-sealing interception of Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl was the number one choice. To even get to Porter's interception, we have to talk about "Ambush," the onside kick to start the second half. By proxy, Garrett Hartley's field goal in overtime against the Vikings and Porter's pick of Favre to force overtime (both in the NFC Championship Game) were up there in importance. Steve Gleason's blocked punt in the Saints' return to the Super Dome after Hurricane Katrina will always have a special place in our hearts as Saints fans.

Kyle Turley protecting his QB throwing a Jet helmet 20 yards.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Yeah I think there are like 5 Epic plays
- Ambush
- Gleason block
- Porters INT
- The 2 point conversion in the SB I think gets way over looked.
- HAKIM DROPS THE BALL!!!

THIS. That was great haha

- 'The river city relay' was a fantastic play.
- Meachem stripping the ball and returning it for a TD.
- Reggie Bush's Fleur de leap.

obscure plays:

McCray hitting Warner
Fake FG with Szaro lining up right-footed instead of left (1977)
any Manning run for your life scramble that ended in an underhanded throw
Mills stripping an Eagles QB and taking it all the way

Its Aaron Brooks' first year and we were playing the 49ers. Two defenders crashed in on him from each side, literally jumping on top of him. Somehow he squeezed out of there and threw a bullet to Willie Jackson for a touchdown. At that time I would've believed he could walk on water.

Deuce and the offensive line overpowering the Eagles defense and pushing into the end zone from 5 yards out in the 2006 playoff game.

The play that came to mind was during Bums tenure when Dirt Winston interception on Monday night to seal our first 8-8 season.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

That Meachem strip (vs Redskins) & subsequent TD was amazing. Things just fell our way. What a magical season.

It was our time.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Oh yeah the Meachem play was fantastic!!!

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

I'm down with the Gleason block. That proved the entire region was coming back!

- Brees' 4th &1 sneak over the top td vs dophins in 2009 to spark a comeback from a 21 pt deficit

- meachem strips ball vs redskins

- dome patrol goal line stand vs steelers 1987

I was going to add that one as well- I was at that game.
Inexplicably Mia called timeout, and SP was going to kick the FG, but Brees talked him out of it.
Reggie had a few insane plays in that one too

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Kinda surprised it took 8 posts to bring this up.

Awesome play.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Wasn't there a game where a Saints player - I think it was Joe Horn - scored a TD toward the end of the game but ball came loose and they ruled it a touchback and the Saints lost? That one springs to mind.

Malcolm Jenkins strip recovery of Roy Williams on ThanksGiving, made my whole 4 day weekend great.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Archie Manning sliding down the left side of the offense at the goal line and forcing his way over the goal line; against the Rams in their blue and white uniform.... see it like it was yesterday.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

When every Saints players lateraled the ball to each other and actually scored. I don't think the ball has been touched that many times by that many players on any team and scored without a penalty. It was a thing of beauty to watch, had me out of my seat watching it.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Saints vs Rams - Fourcade throws an INT, Rams player fumbles at the 20 and Fourcade runs it back 80 yards for a TD

There's another one I'm thinking of with Fourcade throwing a deep pass while Walsh is walking off the field or something like that

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

totally forgot about this one

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Baurnhart punts against the Rams, it hits at the one and goes in the end zone well everyone thinks it's a touchback until a Ram runs it back 105 yards for a touchdown

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Which still pisses me off because the Rams offense started to run on to the field and they probably had 20 players on the field while that play was happening, but no flags.

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Didn't the Saints have he defense coming on the field, to this day I don't get why it wasn't an offsetting flags call and a rekick

Re: What is your all-time favorite obscure New Orleans Saints play?
 

Yea Ill never forgive Payton for not giving Deuce the ball vs the Bears after that game.
