Do We Have A Trick Play(s) For The Playoffs?

Recommended Posts

The trick play by the Patriots to get Brady wide open to catch a 36 yard pass got me thinking... Do we have any trick plays up our sleeves similar to that that we can break out in the playoffs or Super Bowl in a must score type situation? With Cam and Joe Webb there are so many possibilities. We've seen those Joe Webb wildcat plays this year do nothing, but could they be to set up something great? A big reason the Patriots won it all last year (besides their cheating) was the trick play against the Ravens when Edelman threw a 50+ yard TD (I believe it was that long) to Amendola. That game ended 35-31 and without that huge play the Ravens may win it. I don't think we'll need a play like that and I'm not sure Shula can cook something like that up but it could certainly come in handy and we have the perfect personnel in Cam and Webb to do something. Could you imagine Cam catching a 50+ yard TD from Joe Webb in the playoffs or Super Bowl? Interesting to think about so does anyone expect to see something like that this year? Would it be successful?

Maybe we can get Chudzinski to fax us a few.  He was way more creative than Shula unfortunately.  Fun fact, it was Norv Turner's son Scott Turner who came up with the Annexation of Puerto Rico play.  One of the most creative Shula call's I've ever seen was a misdirection screen to Greg Olsen against the Bucs in 2013.

    • I expect Young to play better and the team to play better.  Week one is something I refuse to give much weight to, going back to when we had 4 preseason games.    All kinds of unpredictable outcomes happen week one. Seen it too many times to discount that. Since the 17 game schedule, I don’t pay much mind to results and how the units look until week 3. The units just need time to get the teamwork and timing together under real conditions. Not a series at 90% in preseason. That won’t do it. And it is hard to get around it.  But Frank is right when he points to the difference in how the offense looks with an NFL level arm behind center. Seattle in 2023, Vegas in 2024, were just liberating for the passing game.    This Bryce ball is no fun to watch unless he is having a day where  everything is clicking. Which I think we saw one time. Out of 29. Meh. 
    • Doesn't help that Coen beat up on Evero's defense pretty good last season both times. Looks (and sounds, according to TLaw) like he has the scheme figured out. 😮
    • Yeah, it’s not complicated. is a seam route a hospital ball? No. can a seam route be a hospital ball ? Yes.   if you are throwing seam routes do you need to make sure you don’t hang your TE/WR out to dry? Yes.  Because of injury.  as a former NFL QB explained….Bryce was late with the throw (common issue with Bryce) and  threw it too far up field.  So a seam route became a hospital ball. result? An incompletion that got his WR banged up  honestly have no clue what Bryce defenders are doing at this point.   I’m out on talking about all his bad throws from Sunday.
