Been awhile since we've seen one, I'm sure everyone is happy about this! My issue with our trick plays is that they always seem to be some kind of reverse play. Why not a simple flea flicker??

I like how we're doing things now, but if they went and did a trick play I think this would be more efficient, instead of is losing 12 yards on a triple reverse.

Hell let us see a half back pass sheesh, your thoughts??

We need to bring Wilson back.

Didn’t they run a double reverse that lost like 20 yards not too long ago? With this run game they should sprinkle in a flea flicker or a half back option pass. Maybe they’re waiting til the playoffs?

We tried it once this season, was the reverse vs TB in first game where everyone ran into each other like keystone cops, can't remember now which game it was, but that is probably the reason why we haven't gone back to it since.

Instead of doing it on offense, I’d rather see it done with special teams. When done at the proper time, a surprise onside kick or fake on a punt or FG attempt is an absolute momentum changer

I hate trick plays in NFL that are slow developing and require the ball to go 7 to 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage...

But...and you all might have not liked it...but I did love the trick play Moore used in the Playoff game that did not work because we botched it...but I could see it being a killer play if you could trust the guys doing it...

It was the play where there was a pass to a receiver(I assume they ran a play where they knew the receiver would catch the ball and have a bit of room to run) and the receiver ran for a few steps and then threw the ball(not a lateral underhand...but threw it like 15 yards) to another receiver. We dropped the second pass so the play failed. But this could really hurt defenses because if it was implemented and done successfully regularly the second receivers defender would not be able to leave his man to go make the tackle on the first receiver.

I really want to see this done again. Its basically a hook and lateral...but instead they threw it across the field quickly. It would be really hard to defend if done well.

Onside kicks are tough but fake punts in right situations can work a lot of times
Tricks on returns can work sometimes but no way we ever take a return out of tarpons hands
