Because we don't need them. That's all for flash and show more than substance.

Why do that when you can straight up crush the opposition? We needed them before. Not so much now.

Yeah, Parcells used to use a number of trick plays. Flea flickers, halfback passes, etc.

Haven't seen a single one since Romo was inserted into the lineup. Hadn't even thought about it until seeing this post.

thats easy....our coach bill parcells is to conservative...field postion is like the most important thing to this man....this is the nfl...not 3A high school football...the players are too smart to fall for trick plays all the time....

Only thing close was the fake spike - called by Romo :)

IIRC the last one before that I think was the flea-flicker Bledsoe threw against the Giants that was broken up by Arrington.

Yeah, we don't need them really, but nothing is more demoralizing to an opponent than being up by 14 and scoring a TD on a flea flicker.

I'd love to see a fake FG becase (1) Vanderjagt scares the hell out of me and (2) man that would just be cool.

Stole the words right out of my mouth. We honestly do not need them. We run an effecient offense with Romo.

Save it for the playoffs. No reason to blow our wad now. Let's not show them the big crazy stuff now, so when we see someone after our first round bye, we can take them by surprise.

Parcells is known for having trickery in his bag. Just because we haven't seen it w/TR, doesn't mean that we won't sometime....

I know its trickery and unneccessary but I still miss the flea flicker.

Speaking of trick plays, I was watching the Arkansas Vs LSU game and they showed all the trick plays that Arkansas uses, some of them are really funny, like hiding a RB behind the OL

The last trick play ended in the game where Bledsoe got benched. Failed flea flicker that Arrington got a hand on. TO WIIIIIDE open!
