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

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.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
