Trick Plays But They Get Increasingly TRICKIER!

[@Freddie7191]

I like how the Cardinals' trick play ended up with Fitz double covered and it worked anyway because he's just that good. That's a microcosm of that entire franchise.

I think the lateral is going to be the final evolution of NFL offenses. It's very underutilized and forces defenses to commit to one option or the other. It'll be interesting to see which coaches start to incorporate them more as defenses continue to catch up to offensive innovation.

[@zaneseibert]

I feel like the Lions are ahead of the curve on this.

[@victorleoncio1079]

Yes! Someone who shares my thoughts, finally! The way I see it, the lateral is only a last-ditch, desperation play, when it could be so much better employed. But for that to work, football teams would have to adopt more rugby-like tactics and formations. Since you can pass the ball forward only once, they could devise ways to incorporate more flea-flickers and back passes into plays; that would have the side effect of making plays longer, in my view. Now, people with better judgment than me are welcome to point out the flaws in this, but I think American football would stand to be so much more interesting if it took a few pages out of rugby's playbook

[@JamesCarter-sf8vz]

Yeah, until you see the other 75% of the time when it results in a fumble. Watch the WHOLE game. Not just cherry picked highlights.

[@staidenofanarchy]

@@JamesCarter-sf8vz They said the same thing about the forward pass sixty years ago. "Three things can happen when you pass and two of them are bad" - Woody Hayes

[@victorleoncio1079]

​@@JamesCarter-sf8vz The whole game is two hours and 45 minutes of people standing around while the ball is dead (or the TV is in commercial breaks) and about 15 to 18 minutes of actual gameplay. The condensed highlights basically cover the most important moments where the ball is actually moving. Also, fumbles, on average, occur in 1 or 2 out of every 100 plays or so. Teams would have to adapt their formations and tactics as to employ more back passes without fumbling the ball.

SB did a great break down of Steve Bono's Touchdown at the end of this video. Lot of these plays especially the fake punts were situations where the teams seemed to have noticed that they were being given opportunities to pull them off and took them when the time was right. Seeing the punt holder see a wide open lane for a run through the middle is why Cleveland took that chance, it was so wide open in the middle that the invitation could not be ignored.

I wish we got more plays like 5:32 and 13:30. There are so many times when a player is an eligible passer and the play is obviously dead so why not throw it? You don't even have to try completing the pass since you're already outside the tackle box so it won't be called for grounding.

[@untexan]

Only the QB is allowed to throw the ball away without being called for grounding. Otherwise a running back about to go down for a loss would always throw it away.

[@zaneseibert]

@@untexan Rulebook states "It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that is thrown in the direction of and lands in the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver" and "Intentional grounding will not be called when a passer, who is outside, or has been outside, the tackle position,throws a forward pass that lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage, even if no offensive player(s) have a realistic chance to catch the ball (including when the ball lands out of bounds over the sideline or endline). If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage (extended) beyond the sideline, there is no intentional grounding. If a loose ball leaves the area bordered by the tackles, this area no longer exists; if the ball is recovered, all intentional grounding rules apply as if the passer is outside this area." No mention that the passer has to be a quarteback or start under center (but it does state that a spike must be from under center.)
