that throw was off, but thats ok

really good play though, really good, other than baker's ineptitude at blocking that time, great execution

Nice play - I just wonder why BB does not employ the Flea Flicker more?

Flea Flicker last week = BJGE back to TB for a TD to RM
Flea Flicker in 2007 = Moss back to TB for a TD to JG

Why not use it more when its obviously VERY successful for this QB?

Because unlike Miami, most tricks don't work when done too much.

Because it's too easy for teams to scout and shut down if they use it more and more. It is very effective when used in moderation though.

"Moss comes off the line slowly..." aka "doggin' it" to some people.

The safety actually did a pretty decent job in recovering from the initial run fake and he nearly broke that play up because the pass was a wee bit under thrown. Could have been thrown a bit deeper.
I don't know how they ever gave Brady offensive player of the week.

Moss does a great job on this play. The more I watch it the funnier it is. Really masterful.

When the play was actually happening I was worried about having a line man too far downfield. The video is to jumpy on my computer to tell but I think some of the lineman were driven the D back so much they had to regroup and back up.
