Default Trick Play Ideas

Hey All... after the Jags game (where I thought of a trick play) and then after seeing all of the trick plays used by Boise State a few nights ago, I wanted to start a thread with all of our favorite ideas for trick plays to be run.
My idea came to me after the Pats/Jags game when Brady took the big hit and came out for a play.... Typically when a back up QB comes in the game, the team either runs the ball or throws a conservative pass. My idea is that it would be a pre-planned 'fake' injury to Brady where he comes up limping after a play (maybe after a QB sneak, since they do them so often) around midfield and Cassel would be summond off the bench for a pre planned play. So Cassel would know he was about to come in as well as the rest of the offense and and they could immedatly throw a Play Action Deep Post or some other type of long pass hoping to catch the Defense off guard.
Lets hear yours! (both Boise States hook and ladder and evolved statue of liberty were amazingly exucted btw.)

I Thought the one Pittsburgh done in the Playoffs last season (cant remember against who) was Excellent..... The one where Randel-el threw a long pass down field for a T/D!

I Clapped that play, thought it was Fabulous & it won the game for them aswell

The funny thing is that the Squeelers were/are notorious (at least in my own little world) for their gimmick plays yet always lamented other teams using trick plays against them.

(1) Spike the ball on first down with plenty of time left. It wouldn't do any good, but unlike most trick plays it wouldn't do much harm.
(2) More serious. Why don't teams have time-killing plays where, e.g., the RB gets the ball and wastes time running around behind the line. I always thought something like that could be useful when protecting a small lead with very little time left.
(3) Fake a handoff to an RB who fakes a fumble and dives on it to cover it up.
(4) I've always wondered if anyone has ever tried an onside kick by slamming the ball directly into an opposing player in the hope it bounces off him and is recovered by the kicking team.

That's like throwing it to the cornerback in the hopes that it bounces off of him and into the arms of a receiver.

I'm pretty sure that the officials would rule that forward progress was stopped too quickly for this to be of any use besides losing yardage.

Now -THAT- I like. Great idea.

Yes, they did that in The Water Boy and it worked perfectly. I've never seen it in an actual football game though. It's worth a shot I guess.

I remember the Saints faked an injury to the QB when the starter was weak armed Steve Walsh to run a reverse flea flicker that worked.

My favorite fake FG was run by the Cowboys in recent years. The holder handed the ball off to the kicker who ran it straight up the gut for a score.

I've always wanted to see a flea flicker go into a screen pass. Also, a flea flicker running out of your own end zone.

I'm pretty sure I've seen something that looked like that once or twice. I suppose the question is can a kicker kick the ball a lot harder than a QB can pass it?
