I think you've made forks (and my) point for us. If you could get away with it, you would run garbage like this, which teaches your kids NOTHING, as opposed to actually teaching them to play football.

Again, I say, think what you will of yourself. We now know better though.

wow, Crowder, maybe lighten up a little bit....if it is legal there is no reason not to run it. Trap plays are deceptive and much more dangerous than a play like this, yet they are legal and taught everywhere......I agree that this play is illegal and has no part in the game, but to call a coach out like that is a little over the top....again if it were legal why shouldn't he run it....tight ends feign a block all the time then leave the LOS to catch a pass, a little deceptive but again a good football play...good coaches know the rules and where the pitfalls and possible loopholes in those rules are, I applaud Rocky for being out here, finding out it is not a legal play and removing it from the play book...
