Surprise/trick plays you want to see

^We did that once with Mallett in the AFCCG loss to the Ravens. No idea why we wasted that play in the first half. I really want to see a fake kneel down before the half. Most players half ass that play could have Edelman sprint right at the snap down the field and Brady backs up and hits him. Alert the refs before hand though so they don't try to whistle it down.
I'm sure we would hear cries of "deception" again for that one :D

Coughlin would cry you're not allowed to play football on victory formation. Honestly, I loved what Schiano did. Teams should be fully playing out kneel downs. I'm dying to see a situation where a crazy mother****er like a prime Polamalu leaps over the line and pushes the quarterback backwards and knocks the ball out.
 
Draw play for Blount. His weakness is that he's slow to get the play started; draw plays are that way by design anyway. Once he's through the line, trying to stop him isn't fun.

Play-action in the form of a fake end-around and hope Gronk's man bites.

Double-pass formation to Edelman, in the expectation that the right choice will be for him to keep the ball rather than throwing the pass.

Blount ineligible and stepping back for the potential lateral, in what amounts to a hyper-spread formation (6 potential receivers).
 
With Josh emphasising the need to score TDs in the read zone I wonder if there might be a fake field goal play. Similar to the one Vinatieri did against St Louis in, I think, 2004. Someone would leak out to one side and Gost throws them the ball.

I also think the fake spike play might be used.
 
edelman under center.....run the wishbone
 
I want to see none, because we're so far ahead we don't need to try one.
 
I like any play that comes with a pump fake, but I'd just as soon see them run the ball right at them and mow them down. Make **** Sherman so tired from tackling Blount that he can't talk. Yes, that tired.

The way the Seahawks attack the ball I think the hitch and go would work. Or even a tipped pass play like the Ravens pulled off during the season.

Not a trick play, but a play on the ineligible receiver thing. Put Fleming on the right as a 6th lineman, Devlin announced ineligible where vereen lined up and LaFell split wide on the right. Leaves either Blount or vereen as running back.

Devlin has to step off the line and is ineligible, but he's not a receiver anyway, he's part of a three man blocking team to the right of the line. either a wr screen to lafell with Devlin and Fleming sealing off and the guard pulling to the right, powersweep with the same pinch and Blount behind three blockers pinching left, 5 pulling right, Vereen with run/screen option instead of Blount, or just run or screen gronk on the left, if they over pursue.

Don't know if anything's illegal. The idea is to have three good blockers already stationed wide, near the line and have the defense looking for the extra eligible receiver, because devlin's announced, but there isn't any.

Superioir blocking ability of lafell and Gronk creates all the run/screen oprions with all 5 linemaen free to destroy the front seven pursuit after the 3 man line, lines them up, leaving only the cb covering lafell to defend the wide screen/run options.
 
Russell Wilson pick 6.
Marshawn Lynch lost fumble recovered by the Patriots for a touchdown.

:cool:
 
Very 1st play of the game
Line Brady at WR in Sherman's side. Have the route be a fly down the field with Revis throwing it. Brady catches it then lowering his shoulder on Chancellor leaving Kam laid out as Brady walks to the end zone. All ending with Brady asking Sherman "are you mad bro" after the game
 
I vote for declaring an eligible receiver eligible (yes, you read that right) to see if the Seahawks do not cover him. :)

Brady to Edelman to Brady to Gronk!
 
Nothin fancy, but I'd love to see Ninko channel his inner Vrabel, line up at FB and catch a TD pass.
