I know a QB is not allowed to hand off or throw to the o-line?

But are they able to recover fumbles?

Here is my idea for a gimmick play:

Koppen snaps the ball to Brady.

Brady place the ball on the ground under Koppen, Koppen picks it up and runs forward.

Would that be a legal fumble and fumble recovery?

This is called a "fumblerooksi". I believe that it is now illegal in the NFL. In the original version, it the RG that recovers the fumble.

You're about 20 years late to the party with that one.

Howabout one where Brady runs a play action fake and then quickly puts the ball under his jersey.

Brady then proceeds to stroll nonchalantly down the field, whistling a little tune to himself while everyone is trying to figure out what in the heck happened to the ball.

By the time anyone realizes it, Brady's 20 yards away from the end zone and then takes the ball out from under his jersey and runs in for the TD.

I'm sure THAT'S never been done before and is guaranteed to work!

Hmmm...that sounds like a good idea.

I've posted about gimmick plays before but never had to question their legality. But before we shoot down this guy's premise, why not come up with some LEGAL gimmick play ideas?

I have a few.

I mentioned months ago the idea of using Moss & Stallworth in a potential hook & ladder. Extremely dangerous obviously but very effective for say the end of a half.

Another high risk/high reward play that I recently thought up was having Maroney or Faulk fake reverse to Welker & then pass to Moss.

Those are pretty standard "gimmick" plays that most teams have.

With the exception of the Randy flea flicker we haven't really tried any this season. I'm just saying with all these toys it's fun to play with the idea.
