The "fake" Kick Return

Halo · 11-06-2017, 04:51 PM

With the momentum we already had in the game, I have no idea why we needed to run that play. Unless SP just wanted to try it in an actual game and not practice.

I think that is the main thing, and he might actually have something planned off this that we'll see later in the season.

Put TLL on the ground again and somebody will notice and then they'll swarm him hopefully leaving somebody else open.

Yeah! We'll pull it against whoever McMahon's coaching ST for now!

If there was a game to try something with no worry of outcome , maybe that was it.

No issue with it myself.
Nobody in their right mind would have gone for the onside kick in the superbowl either. If you play with fire you'll occasionally get burnt.

It'll keep teams guessing the odd nutball play

Not if this is as good as we can do in executing it. We should just stick to the non fake touchback, start with decent field position and play to our strengths.

Often these plays they are looking for something that improves the chances as we all know. If it appears to be there why not.

If you watched the replay, TLL had one guy to beat, but he slipped and fell. It had a chance, just poor execution. Almoat the entire coverage unit ran at Ginn

It's what happens when Coach shoves too may sticks of Juicy Fruit in his mouth.

Throw that play away ... forever.

No need to get cute on special teams and/or kickoffs. We can barely handle punts (led to the Bucs points) as it is.
