Trick Plays

America's Cowboy · Jun 23, 2022

Should Mike McCarthy, Kellen Moore and Bones Fassel run any trick plays in 2022?

What say you?

If so, which trick plays would you like to see?

I saw this one on YouTube. What do you think?

Trick plays take many reps from practice.....with today's practice time rules, you need to be careful not to waste time.....that said, having a couple in your back pocket can pay dividends.

Yes. They need to be set up and the timing needs to be right.

Randomly calling them for no reason makes ZERO sense however.

Timing is everything, and there is an appropriate time for every play call.
This team currently has very bad timing offensively.

Cedric Wilson has left the building, so I don't know if any trick plays will absolutely work without him.

Dak can't even do the QB sneak correctly and you want trick plays by slow processing panic in the pocket QB 1?????
GL with that........ :muttley:

Bones probably tried to call at least one every game only to have McCarthy tell him to save it. He probably goes home and tricks his wife just to get it out of his system.

He did it many times successfully last season. Do you watch the games?

I like offensive tricks plays.
Special teams, not so much.

Given that a high percentage of trick plays result in someone other than the QB throwing a pass, I would have thought you were all in favour of them?
Congratulations on crowbarring in an anti-dak post anyway, you must be very proud.

I'm not big on "trick" plays, but occasionally there's a time and place for it so it should still be in the play book.

Will it matter? Even if they do have them, they'll use them in the first few games then go back to what didn't work before later in the season.

I would much rather have them spend time practicing those plays that will work for them in the specific game plan for that week. Practice them so much that they are executed perfectly. Then you don't need trick plays. A famous quote that emphasizes the importance of focused practice and a high level of proficiency. :

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but i fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times "

Instead of becoming masters at the occasional trick play, I'd rather us become masters at misdirection. I'd rather every play create some doubt than to have the other team worried about a potential fake punt.

Forget trick plays. Just get the play action pass working. That will be enough.

Dak's the master of tricks, Pappy.

He's tricked Jerry and some fans into thinking he's a great QB.

But, just for fun, my favorite Dak trick play was him doing a QB sneak with 13 seconds left in the season and no timeouts. He must of had a vacation planned and couldn't get a refund.

He was at the right place at the right time and 2 QB needed to go down for the Cowboys 666 to sit on the throne and produce potatoes without any toppings!!!

That helicopter kick vs Atlanta was a thing of beauty though.

A trick play has to come at a very unexpected time. It should be an occasional thing, and it will not take the place of having a good system in place.
