You clearly have seen everything." "Let's get back to the game." "All righty. But first, since this great trick play just happened, tell me--how many times have you seen it before?" "Once or twice." "Wait, is it once or is it twice?" "Probably once." "You don't remember if you have seen that play once or if you have seen it twice?" "The next play's about to start, look at the formation of the wide recei..." "See, if I had seen that play run twice, I'd remember both times. I wouldn't be confused, that's not something a football expert like us would forget. But anyway, ok, what was the one time you definitely remember?" "It was a long time ago, so it's probably irrelevant because of how much the game has changed since then. Take this game right now, this exciting game where new plays keep on happening for us to comment on." "Irrelevant? That sounds super memorable to me, the fact that it happened all those years ago and you still remember it to this day! Ok, great. The Bengals have called timeout.

@@SteveGellerMusic most underrated KZbin comment on a comment ever

[@Republicanmouse]

In high school we were among the smallest schools in a big conference, but we won our share of games including many that would be called upsets. Our coach was clever and our team had quite a few smart players who could execute. (That, and the state 100 yard dash champion at tailback, who only needed a half step.). Anyway, our playbook was over half trick plays, and unusual sets, both on offense and defense. Included in our playbook was one from this video, 10 men would huddle, coach would be animated in talking to the 11th player (usually our sprint star) who would step onto the field at the last second and streak down the sideline. That play, along with many other tricks we played, have now been outlawed at the high school level. Our coaches had to meet with the refs before every game to tell them about all the trick plays so we wouldn’t just get a game full of inadvertent whistles. We were scouted heavily because everyone knew our reputation for tricks, but we had so many odd sets and trick plays to run off multiple sets that it was hard to know what we would do. It was a lot of fun, even when we didn’t win. When we got beat it was always due to overall size and superior born talent, because we always had the best playbook.

Being a Colts fan, that was for sure the turning point of that game. Both teams were looking unstoppable that year by end of the regular season. Also that was Dungy' s team, coached by Jim Caldwell. Ask any Colts or Lions fan about Caldwell. Both teams were on fire the 2009 season. First time in NFL history that both Super Bowl teams started off with a 13-0. Colts were 14-0 and locked the #1 seed and sat their starters (after the first two series of play) to avoid injuring a starter in what they considered useless season games. I believe they could have walked through the last two weeks and been 16-0. But then you add all the pressure of being "Undefeated" going into post season. Ask any Pat's fan about that pressure, 19-0 t-shirts in the trash (thanks NY Giants for ending that one).

For it to not be illegal substitution, he has to have been in the field of play the whole time.

I think the problem is that most of the guys with good hands aren't near each other on the field. The receivers/tight ends are all trying to get open in space so the only guys you can lateral to are linemen with solid hands for blocking, not catching. The only real opportunity to lateral is when a back stays near the pocket to help block a rusher so he is already busy.
