  • Don't you need 7 on the line? that play was penalized for illegal formation correct?

  • Trying to trick the "Trickster" is a desperation ploy. An admission of inferiority! You can't fool Mr. Belicheat because he has forgotten more than Pagano knows about football.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    It's commonly called polecat. The idea is that if they blitz immediately over too, you swing it out to a quick screen.

    Then seemed like they got what they wanted... So why wasn't the "QB" expecting a snap?

    I didn't watch the game, but I mistakenly deduced what I thought the play was from what I heard others say.

    Turns out it wasn't a polecat formation, but swinging gate. Swinging gate is sometimes run at the prep level for trickeration. At the pro level, it's more commonly run to try and catch the defense with 12 men on the field.

    The center wasn't supposed to snap the ball.

  • This play shoulda been used by Michigan tho.

    In that case they should have schooled that play's 2nd string center.

  • Apparently they've been practicing the play for a year and when they finally ran it, they lined up in an illegal formation so even if it had worked, it would've been called back anyways.

  • ....and people think we have the worst coaching issues.....

    If you wanna talk about your under performing teams and stupid decisions, Indy seems to lead the pack....

  • But Buffalo is gaining on them... Rexy is way ahead of schedule.

    And then there are the Eagles... and the Fins... and...
