caver50 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Everybody knows what the Hail Mary pass is (right) ofcourse you do. It go's something like this. A last second desperation pass to all the recievers with the defenders in the corner of the endzone. Defenders trying to batt the ball down and the recievers trying to jump high and come down with it. (right)everyone has seen it done like this? Ok Same play, but the QB throws the ball to the oppisite corner, all recievers except one would remain with the defenders in orderto clog up that corner while one reciever sneaks out to the oppisite corner to recieve the ball. Ofcourse it's possible that setting an illeagal screen could be called. Has anybody seen it done like this. Perhaps it's nothing new, if it isn't, your not required to read this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskokas finest © Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The athletes are good enough to run to the other side of the end zone while the ball is in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 It would have to be played at 3x speed and have Benny HIll music along with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeitdown Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is done semi-frequently, but the ball can't be thrown with huge arc, due to what Muskoka's mentioned. It usually involves throwing a flatter 40 yard pass to the opposite side and relying on the receiver to get the final 10 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcanuck Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 With all the screen talk going on... Why not run a hail mary screen? Where the WRs run towards the endzone, the OL delays 3 seconds and the HB stays in to protect, then they slip out and form a screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caver50 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 You see, the remaining recievers would have to block out the defenders without getting caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out, we could do this. While we're bored and have nothing better to do, we can design plays and have a panel of three to judge the best plays or just one judge. Ofcourse they must have a good knowledge of X's and O's and the best design wins nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuggle'2 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't mind seeing what kind of video we can find of trick plays Atlanta has run in the past. Possibly other teams as well.http://www.footballbabble.com/football/trick-plays/ Edited July 11, 2012 by Tuggle2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcanuck Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hook and Ladder should be run every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caver50 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Seems to me that most of the trick plays that Atl. has run, turned out to be flops. I know some of them worked. How bout the onside kick that the Saints did against the Colts in the SB. Didn't see that one comming. Deception is the art of War and football.

Falcanuck Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Every now and then Mularkey would pull out an AWESOME play. This past season I remember a sweet shovel pass we pulled off. He'd go from Vanilla to some sweet strawberry sorbet instantly with those... Then back to Vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon68 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) i would line up 4 receivers on one side and 1 on the other. the receiver on the side alone comes in motion stopping in the back field, appearing to stay in as a blocker. on the snap the 4 lined up together run a combination of go's, flag, post, ect. routes taking 1/2 of the defense with them. after a 2 or 3 second delay, the WR that stayed in, leaks out to the opposite side from where the 4 WR's started from, catching a screen and having 30 to 40 yrds of open real estate to run.

Thats what it's all about, getem going one way and we head the other. Seems like some teams work on those plays more than others. Bag of tricks, everybody needs some.

B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Every player doesn't run to the endzone on a Hail Mary. You can't effectively run a screen on a Hail Mary either. The most creative you can go is throw the pass underneath and try flicking the ball to trailing players as you get tackled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The main problem with it is that defenses aren't playing man coverage on hail marys, they are playing zone, so they have guys on both sides of the end zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokas finest © Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Team's need to be more proactive about getting into situations where you are reduced to a hail mary. They need to try the fake punt with 2+ minutes left and 1/2 timeouts in reserve, instead of just giving the ball up and letting the opponent run all that time off the clock.

caver50 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 The whole idea is to refrain from the predictable. That got us in trouble on more than one occasionlast season. You know we won't always be ahead in the 4th quarter, so we need a couple of rabbits up our sleve. Man i love some the old trick plays, they can still work if performed correctly.
