[edit] Draws and Play action?
Do you think draws and Play action should be included in this section? Lazmac 12:38, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- They have their own articles and are so common they are hardly trick plays in the sense of this article. Cryomaniac 18:57, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- What about the more "gadgety" type plays, you know, like when the QB pretends he can't hear the coach through his earpiece and starts to walk off the field and then the center snaps the ball, catching the defense napping. The Colts do that kind of thing a lot, right? What does one call that? Any thoughts? IronDuke 16:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure what you'd call it, but I suppose it deserves a mention. I'll see what I can do. Cryomaniac 17:15, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Another that might bear mentioning: the fake spike (like Dan Marino used in 1994.) Also, the lateral in Music City Miracle was a designed play, so that might fit here (in contrast to The Play.) --Arcadian 19:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Added Marino play. This article is improving rapidly, I think. Anyone have an opinion as to whether Peyton Manning yelling "Attack, attack" to prompt a quick snap when the defense is in disarray constitutes a "trick play?" IronDuke 18:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

- I don't think thats a trick play, it's basically just like a hurry up offence, and presumably is run as a base running play if the defence don't commit a penalty or call a time out.

- I'm not really sure what it was, because it's hard to tell 1) who takes the snap, and 2) how exactly the ball gets to the HB. Good play though. Cryomaniac 11:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tackle eligible
Should the tackle eligible be added to the list? Jumbo Elliott and Anthony Munoz have both caught passes under this play. Patken4 16:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
