Why No Trick Plays?

[Everson24]

I'm not a huge fan of trick plays as a staple of your offense, but I really expected to see some this week knowing full well we would need to score points to win. Not even one trick play attempted.

As conservative as Bill Parcells was as a coach he at least would try the flea flicker once a game along with a few reverses. Bill Cowher used a WR pass to score an easy TD when his offense was struggling in Super Bowl 40.

Does this coaching staff even have a clue? Did they think we would shut out the Giants? Did they think Brad Johnson was going to throw for 350 yards and 3 TD's. I just dont get it.

Those left with Payton.

We can't even run basic plays.

I said that in chat. How can you run a trick play, when they can't even run the most basic of plays?

I was disappointed we didn't try something.

We knew going in that points would be hard to come by.

That meant opening up the playbook. Or so I thought.

Maybe we can advance to the trick play after we master staying onsides.

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Hard to run trick plays when the rest of the offense is so erratic.

When your playbook looks like this.....

You simply cannot afford to put a trick play in it.

Wasnt the whole game a trick?

You're probably right. But that's pretty bad considering my local high school team runs them quite effectively.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

They did run a trick play, and TO dropped the pass. It was when he was lined up in the backfield.

Happy Halloween !!!

Belated of course.
