NFL Best Fake Punts Ever (Compilation)

[@captainthrall]

This is how you make a great compilation video. No commentary, no replays, no slow-mos, no BS - just amazing plays. Nice job man!

9:28 "We're gonna run a fake punt" "But why" "Because of reasons"

[@vagabond197979]

Man, there aren't many things more satisfying in football than a successful fake punt. The element of surprise makes it great.

[@jameslyons9756]

When you realize qbs slide when they run and punters don’t

[@DeosPraetorian]

Because QB's are more important

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Punters are pretty damn important if you want to control field position, generally, you have a backup QB, you don’t have a backup punter. Your kicking dude gets hurt in a game, you have to figure something out to keep field control under control.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

money gaming yes, they might have some time in high school kicking. But if you want a great defense you need a great punter.

[@AlphaGametauri]

@@Mostlyharmless1985 Couldn't field goal kickers take the place of punters in a back up scenario?

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Alpha Gametauri sorta yes? That’s usually your first choice as an emergency punter but it’s not an ideal situation to be in. It’s a bit like asking a heart surgeon to do an appendectomy.

[@nazeera4534]

The play works: "Amazing play call!!!!" The play fails: "What a stupid call!!!!"

[@jeffreybell4801]

It’s amazing that Danny White was a great quarterback and a pretty fair punter! That gave Dallas an advantage in 4th down situations.

[@floydhatcher4655]

He always had the green light to go. Roger Staubach said Danny was the best athlete on the team.

[@uTubeNoITube]

5:37 Wow did he go around the back with the football?? That was amazing..

[@williefisterinc.7624]

4:33 ohhhh boy I bet number 29 got some heat for that last-minute change up

[@MikeLemieux]

It's easily the best one out of all them; the stakes were the highest, 4th quarter, one possession game with Super Bowl berth on the line.

[@michaelbelfer6513]

Mike Lemieux You said it all.

[@busternutt2874]

I was thinking right from the get go that this vid has to have at least one fake punt from the Parcells Giants or it's pure horse shit!

[@IRanOutOfPhrases]

Honestly, that setup at 5:37 requires a lot of courage from the punter to sell it. Basically has to leave himself completely prone because if the other team figures out he still has the ball, he's getting completely obliterated. Probably not easy to keep your composure as you have two NFLers sprinting directly at you with intent to destroy you, lol

[@mastick5106]

Not to mention this was Trapasso's first pro game after being picked up by the Titans as an undrafted free agent out of college.

[@zuperpiplup13]

Charlie Gaston Um...What?

[@xunder3]

Yeah, until the big kid carrying the ball got tired of a bunch of other kids hacking at his arms trying to get the ball because there was no "safety" (no end zone, no base, no goal...and no point except for the mob fucking with the dude with the ball). I remember the game ended this as an option at my school: one kid, trying out a new "strategy", found that he could defend the ball better by just standing in place. Another kid (having a bad day?) got irritated that the kid with the ball wasn't running, and punched the kid with the ball in the arm. The kid with the "active hands" then got his nose broken...and I didn't even get expelled. Good times.

[@ericgrimes341]

That Pat McAfee walk was 1000% swagger.

[@jamesodom4980]

[@scottmcman7659]

Danny White did so many fake punts, you never knew if he was going to take off. But he'd just wait and hesitate a second to see where the defenders were going. One of the few things Tom Landry allowed in regards to freelancing. White had a green light to take off whenever he felt he could make at least a first down. Sadly, as a QB, he got so close to the Super Bowl, playing in 3 consecutive NFC Championship games after Staubach retired. His problem was, he didn't have a big arm like Roger, but he still performed at a very high level due to his intelligence and tutelage under Staubach. "The Catch" was his heartbreaking loss as Dallas should have won that game. Of course, Joe Montana was a magician. Can't take anything away from him.

[@delousionie]

Heres a suggestion for another video 👉🏼 NFL best stumble recoveries

[@krautyvonlederhosen]

Danny White was the master of the fake punt. As the backup QB and punter, he had the field to see.

[@breesco]

As usual, a great collection! The only thing I'd change is adding the game date (or at least year) at the beginning of each clip. In any case, more, please!

[@matthewerspamer6274]

[@mrsatire9475]

[@AvroBellow]

At 9:13 the announcer mentions the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. I wonder what they had to do with it. At 9:29 I'lll NEVER forget that fake punt to Gary Reasons. That was almost exactly 30 years ago. I was a football-crazy teenager at the time and I've always been a Giants fan. They didn't score a single TD all game but won 15-13 on 5 Matt Bahr field goals. They's win the next game against the Bills 20-19. It was called Super Bowl XXV. :D

[@daevydjae]

5:33 Tennessee punter pulls a Magic Johnson and takes it himself. That's awesome!

[@theforbiddensauce]

[@peepsyogi]

Ben W but the punt was not even a fake just a bad snap and he knew it was going to get block so he ran for it

[@klmbaby6]

King has rb speed and moves. I wonder why he decided to be a punter?

[@chrisbarnesbarnes8332]

Kevin Miller lol because he black. He know he doing the biggest hustle. He like these motherfuckers paying millions to kick a football. Why you think he dances after every kick inside the 10 that's another year on he's contract added

[@klmbaby6]

True...plus he won't have all the punishment and possible concussion issues when his career is over...I get it. But I do think they'll do more fake punting and utilize his athletic ability going forward.

[@Chris-vc1jj]

A. J. Trapasso's fake and run for a Touchdown is the best by far. I had to look at that a couple times. Ran 53 yards for a TD (41 officially) and nobody touched him.

[@quwzada21]

And this is what I live for to watch another Football Game 😎

[@mikesmithey4882]

I appreciate the fact that you don't show the same play four times in a row from different angles period or just show it over and over and slow motion. I can do that on my own.

[@chadcashman2161]

Recovering from a fumble or a bad snap is not a fake punt.

[@Craig-ib7gk]

1:14 the Oakland punter, Marquette King, had better wheels than most of their WRs and CBs at the time.

Love the vintage stuff. That’s when the NFL was legit

[@crimdell]

On a lot of these the punt return specialist has to be the one to make the tackle, and most of the time those guys are the smaller WR and RBs who haven't made a tackle since high school. It's an even greater mismatch because the player getting the quick snap is usually a big fullback or tight end. I imagine those punt return guys aren't too happy to take that collision.

[@PolishBehemoth]

[@ericschminke153]

Way back in 1982, the Cowboys were playing the Redskins in Washington. The Cowboys were faced with a 4th down at about their own 15 yard line when Danny White, after taking the snap, immediately noticed the Redskins didn't rush anyone and took off with the ball. I think White had run about 10-15 yards past the line of scrimmage when the Redskins finally realized what was going on. Even though it might not have qualified as a fake punt, it sure looked as if it was. White didn't score, but nonetheless, it was definitely football folly material. The Cowboys won 24-10 but the Redskins won what was obviously the far more critical game when they beat Dallas in the NFC championship 31-17 then beat Miami in Super Bowl XVII 27-17. Ah what the hell. It was fun while it lasted.

[@tomr9661]

[@check-static-lines]

[@highonimmi]
