It's fun for everyone.... pretend for a second that you are gadget-man extraordinaire Mike Mularkey.... what "gadget play" would you dream up?

Which players would you use? What would they do?

Here's mine:

It's an I formation with two wide to the left and a tight end to the right.

The ball is a direct snap to the FB Barnes who begins to run to the right tackle, but stops and pitches the ball back to Ronnie, who runs left until Marty Booker, and Marcus Vick run past him. Ronnie hands the ball to Vick on the reverse and Marty is leading the way. BUT when Vick gets out wide right he looks BACK across the field to Joey Harrington and throws it to him. Harrington, throwing as he backpedals, immediately tosses up a ball into the opposite corner of the endzone, all the way across the field, a nice floater that Jason Taylor runs a fade route towards (Jason has been subbed-in for Randy Mac). JT LEAPS up into the air after the floating ball. He bats at it clumsily with his hands until he can make it fall to the earth.

This play does require the players to execute, so if it doesn;t work, it's their fault, not mine. That includes the 18 seconds of blocking required by the O-line.

So... what's your gadget play?
 
Play action fake pass. After this Joey has nothing to do because he has already faked the run and the pass. After this, he hands the ball to Booker sweeping around for the reverse who places the ball at Hadnot's feet. Chambers, who already headed down to the end zone on the fake pass, comes all the way back down, scoops up the ball, and takes it to the house.

We can call it- I right play action reverse 360 swoop rooskie.

LOL. Dude, I am going to create that play for my Madden 07 Dolphins playbook. Not sure how to get a player to place the ball on the turf and run off without it, though.

I call that the TRUTH IN ADVERTISING PLAY!:sidelol:

ROFLMAO!!! genius, just genius. actually, didnt MM already call that one this year?? LOL:wink: :wink:
 
This is something we did in Rec football. Single back, two wide. Pull the left tackle like he's going to lead a right sweep but have the QB hand it to the tackle and the back leads. QB picks up the tackle's block. It was good for five to ten yards for us.
 
Start off with double TE's, put Peelle in motion so that it becomes a strong I formation. Harrington takes the center exchange, hands it to Peelle, who in turn hands to McMichael on the reverse. As McMichael comes across, he has the option to flip it back to Harrington for a flea-flicker, continue running downfield, or shovel pass to Morris who has wandered off to the weak side of the play and is pretending to block.

Tackle for a loss:lol:

Quite humorous though
 
At my team in Sheffield, when we do 7 on 7 drills, we quite often let the O-line form their own 7 man team (with the starting QB of course).

It's an awesome session just packed full of trick plays. We scored off a hook and ladder with our LT receiving the ball from our RG.

We literally ran every trick play possible, even one with 5 in an I formation and we all swept out and lateralled it to each other in a rugby style towards the sideline before the last man finally lateralling it back to the QB who threw it back for a score!

Sounds cool... I'd worry that the size difference between a tackle and QB, and between D-linemen and a RB/QB is much more pronounced at the NFL level, so not sure if they could lead block that well for him... but I love the idea.

Send that last one in to Mike Mularkey by e-mail and you'll see it in the game against the Jags. (minus the score at the end).

(Are you sure you aren't related to Mike Mularkey? You think very much alike.)
 
Our opponent in our first regular season game this season decided upon an end around on 3rd and 15 on their own 1 yard line.

With our awesome D line, the man was not just tackled in the end zone, he was hit out the back of the end zone into the fence behind the goal.

Very very funny.
 
4th and goal with 40 seconds to go....direct HB snap, followed by a kneel....the defense will never expect this gadget!
 
Sorry for the double posts, but something else quite funny.

The same team did something very interesting.

For a whole series they played a very dodgy formation.

They had the centre and guards in the middle of the pitch by the ball, and on each side, half way between a slot and a full split end, they had the tackle, another on the line blocker and off the line was a receiver (remember this is on both sides). They then had the QB and a RB in the backfield behind the centre.

Funnily enough they went three and out.

1: Screen left- Almost intercepted by the safety who was just standing on the line waiting for it

2: Screen right - As above

3: RB run to the left of the guard in the middle.


We get to play them again in a few weeks, should be interesting.
