Favorite Gadget Plays


Recommended Posts

Trick plays are one of my favorite things about football. This thread is dedicated to gadget plays at all levels. If you can accompany your post with a video, that would be optimal. Otherwise, try to describe it in sufficient detail that we can picture it in our mind’s eye.

Here’s my favorite ... from a national championship game, no less.

Great topic. So back in my middle school coaching days I had a play ran AGAINST me that I thought was absolutely brilliant. 

My 7th grade football team was beating our opposition pretty soundly 21-0 with about 20 seconds left in the first half. The other team had the ball at about the 17 yard line with the time ticking away. Their coach calls a timeout (his last of the half). The other team comes out and runs a simple halfback toss left where my corner comes and makes the tackle with about 14 seconds left on the clock. (now keep in mind I'm standing on a sideline thinking "why the hell would you not throw the football in that situation to at least stop the clock?"). As the other team is scrambling to get the ball set and hiked before time runs out their quarterback and 2 or 3 other players are yelling "SAME PLAY! SAME PLAY!"...they line up, get the ball snapped with a few seconds remaining...halfback toss left again...my corner comes up to make the play tackle, only this time the halfback stops and throws to a wide open receiver in the end zone. I had to tip my cap to their coach for that one.

I gotta ask, who was that against?

Let's not leave out the Little Giants and the Annexation of Puerto Rico 

First thought came to mind, probably because we did an intrasquad scrimmage last night for our 6th graders,  The Bombers vs the little giants.   @Bobref I was told I throw a decisive flag, however, I had to work on my not hitting the whistle first on a live ball play when I saw an infraction.  that was tough....  ok back on topic, I was disappointed the little giants did not even attempt anything remotely close ot the A of PR, however they did run a mean 24 Power.
