Like a playfake and pass to your OLB playing fullback?UWhuskytskeet said:I'd run an Other every time.
Or an end around?
AGREE!!!
Other is my jam. -
Hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch (NT)

Hmm, I wonder why Shaw kept going back to that?Doogles said:Or you could be David Shaw and run it 13 times in a row to one of your freak 6'8" tight ends

It wasn't a fade for Stanford. He ran out, turned around and waited for the jump ball against our midget

Best play in football.
Take the odds with an overwhelming advantage where the upside is super high and the downside is low.
The premise of this thread needs to diaff.
As soon as you fucks get a 6'4 monster possession guy the tables will turn. -
There is a difference between what Stanford did and the 3rd or 4th down fade in the endzone
A big difference
When you're watching a game and call the play before it happens the defense probably did too -
You mean like the Stanford vs OSU game?NorwegianHusky said:You idiots are only looking at one side of the equation... The fade route is a low percentage play for BOTH sides. I.e., it has low completion percentage for the offense, but it's also incredibly unlikely to be intercepted.
It makes sense if you have a big WR who can go up and get it and you're worried about your QB throwing a pick, or you don't think your run blocking is good enough to convert.
It's a very common audible out of a run play in the red-zone. If the defense has a clear numbers advantage in the box, you audible to the fade, and if it's incomplete that's still better than a turnover or tackle for loss.
At that point you get time to make a new play-call based on what the defense is showing. Maybe you try a different run play, or you call a pass or play-action pass if you think they're going to stack the box agan.
You get out of an unfavourable look against your run play, plus you get a 1/3 chance at a TD, maybe higher depending on your QB/WR duo. If it's first down, that's a hell of a lot better than wasting a timeout in most situations.

Good point, except these numbers are for 2-point conversions specifically. You're better off calling a TO in this scenario.NorwegianHusky said:You idiots are only looking at one side of the equation... The fade route is a low percentage play for BOTH sides.

Fuck you, Pete Carroll.Gladstone said: -
Or just say anything not running the ball is a shitty play.
