8:50 The Seahawks were actually able to copy and pull off that same trick in the next game versus a different opponent. Our coach recognized the brilliance of the play.
4:52 This is Philly Special...It happened in the Superbowl....5:07 This is called a hook and lateral play...It took place in a Divisional playoff game between the San Diego Chargers and the Miami Dolphins......It was a very hot and humid day in Miami.... It says ORANGE BOWL in the endzone....Which is the stadium the Dolphins played in until 88... The college bowl game also called The Orange Bowl was played there the day before this game....The Chargers won and went on to the AFC Championship game the next week, which was one of the coldest games ever.
11:26 is phenomenal, one of my favorites. Extreme rule and situational awareness. If you kick the ball out of bounds on a kickoff (not a punt), this is a penalty on the kicking team which results in significantly better field position for the receiving team. By recovering possession with his foot out of bounds, Ty Montgomery caused what otherwise would've been terrible field position to become great field position for the Packers
To be clear, if a player is out of bounds and touches the ball, the ball is out of bounds. I know you're aware of that so not correcting you, but just connecting all the dots. Yours went a to b, c to d. Just adding in the b to c.
The play at 4:58 is the Philly special the most legendary trick play in Superbowl history backup QB Nick foles who was playing in the Superbowl because the starter got injured at the end of the season and gets a resiving TD in the Superbowl the eagles first Superbowl win their is even a statue at the eagles stadium of that play
13:23 What's crazy is you can see right here the two coaches for the Browns were Kyle Shanahan and Mike McDaniel, who are now the each the head coaches for the SF 49ers and the Miami Dolphins respectively. Both are known as offensive geniuses.
at 1:45 I think that was a lateral on a kickoff return. at 3:00 I think it was an intentional direct snap to the running back instead of the quarterback, but they just didn't put enough loft on the snap and it managed to still work. Though it's possible it was completely intentional. The benefit would be that the defense will think something has gone wrong and expect the offense to just dive on the ball rather than try to advance it. At 12:15 the end zone has nothing to do with it. A player who's out of bounds touching the ball means the ball is out of bounds, and a kick out of bounds you get the ball at the 40. The rest of that season suddenly everyone was doing this until kickers adjusted.
3:20. That's actually a variation of a standard play from the hundred year old single wing offense. All of the backs are in the same general vicinity of the snap so the defense doesn't know who has the ball. In that formation, #41 Lorenzo Neal is actually the quarterback and #17 Philip Rivers is the full back. The single wing was the standard offense in football until the early 40s when George Halas invented the T-formation, from which all modern offenses have been derived.
It's a shame at the 4:51 mark the play starts at the snap when most of the trickery was done when they lined up for the play which then show the QB going in motion and away from his normal spot. Thought the philly special (which could have it's own video in and of itself) would be closer to the trickiest due to it being in the Super Bowl.
11:26 The ball didn't go in the endzone... But everything else you said is right... If a the ball goes out of bounds on a kickoff(not on a punt) its a a penalty on the kicking team and the receiveing team gets the ball on the 40...
It definitely did bounce in the endzone and back out. Seems like that should make it a touchback, but it's just one of those freak scenarios the rule makers failed to anticipate.
I'd also recommend the William "Refrigerator" Perry touchdown in the 1985-86 super bowl. Despite the fact he was a defensive player playing offense, it was the exact opposite of a trick play. Everyone in the stadium knew, the instant he came on the field with the ball on the 1 yard line, that the play was to hand him the ball and he charges straight ahead for the touchdown. The problem was the defense still couldn't actually stop him from doing just that.
ball rolling on ground at snap to the running back was supposed to be a direct snap through qbs legs to the running back , I think, it just hits qbs legs so the snap wasn't clean but it worked
As I'm watching this now, and haven't read the comments, the first lateral was on a punt return. In American Football, anyone can throw the ball to anyone else, as long as it is lateral or behind where the initial player had the ball...so even it is a lateral to someone 1 foot behind them, then you can get away with it (there is some nuance to that rule, but that's the basic gist). If you are on offense and hike the ball and toss it to someone else behind the line of scrimmage (I believe) that they can throw it forward at that point because the ball hasn't passed the previously declared line of scrimmage. The hike with the ball rolling to the running back is sometimes called a "fumblerooski", which is basically a planned "fumble" that is scripted and because it happens so quickly and suddenly it can take defenses off guard which gives the offense the advantage. It also messes up with defensive timing for pass rushers, but generally they have a running clock in the head for how long it takes to hike, and hand off the ball, or hike and pass the ball....where you basically cut the timing off because 1) its unexpected, and 2) it goes directly to the guy who is already moving forward to get the ball with momentum.
14:28 the rule is, if the ball goes out of bounds on the kick, the ball goes to the 40 yard line, or where it went out if it went out earlier. Yes it is still part of the rule that a return man being out of bounds upon touching the ball counts as a Kick out of bounds.
I remember another play like this, I can't remember by whom, where the ball stopped rolling very close to the sideline, and the returner signaled to the ref to make sure he knew what was going on, and then very deliberately stepped (almost stomped) one foot out of bounds and picked up the ball for the exact same result--kickoff out of bounds.
Ball never went in the end zone 😂 but if you’re out of bounds n recover the ball it’s an automatic penalty and your team gets the ball at the 40 yard line instead of a touchback which would put the ball at the 25 yard line
An idea for a future video: What did you think players and/or teams were trying to do before you learned what's really going on, on the field. Like, what misconceptions did you have about the sport. What things about the sport do you think most brits get wrong. What actions on the field, and why, did you think were happening before you learned the sport and now understand what they were really trying to accomplish. What goals did you and other brits think they were trying to accomplish on the field that you were completely wrong about, now that you know what they were actually trying to do. Just basically what misconceptions about the sport do you think most non americans have about the sport.
For every one of these there are dozens of trick plays that didn't work, or even went horribly wrong. My friends and I usually call it "breaking out the Stupid Play book."
Good to see you guys reacting to some NFL stuff! It'll be pretty slow between now and the draft, though Brett Kollmann will have some stuff on draft grades, not too much for a while so I understand.
Damo speculated that with some of these plays you may only get one chance to ever run them because once you've done it once every team you play will be ready for it. You're absolutely right about that, and the play that you were referring to, the Rams' fakeout punt return against the Seahawks, is definitely one of those. There's a reason that the Rams would choose to burn that play against Seattle, their hated rival, rather than some other random team, and the Bears once attempted to run the same exact play against the Packers for the same reason. In that case, the Bears did actually score the touchdown, but it was called back by a penalty away from the ball.
Desmond Howard, Heisman Award Winner from The University of Michigan receiver and special teams. VERY VERY Fast. Saw him in college and he was awesome.
The punter who fakes the handoff and runs with it was Reggie Roby who was an absolute unit of a man who happened to be an incredible punter. The awesome sleight of hand combined with that ham sandwich of a man taking off running makes that the best play in this video. Philly Special can be runner up.
If you were allowed to kick the ball out of bounds on a kick off, kickers would consistently put you inside the 10 yard line and would allow too much of an advantage.
That saints play at around 3 mins was intentional, you can tell by number 9 drew brees completely selling the pass looking as though he's going to throw. it actually worked really well because everyone dropped back into coverage and in the NFL even if it was only a step or two it was more than enough to give the rb a lane straight to the endzone.
On Kickoffs, to keep the kicking team from kicking the ball out of bounds to prevent a return/pin the offense deep on their end of the field, balls kicked out of bunds automatically get placed at the 40. Returners might try to let the ball bounce out of bounds on its own, which is what happened in the GB play - but since it stopped short, if you get yourself out of bounds and touch the ball, by rule your body has become an extension of the sideline, so technically the ball would be out of bounds and then placed at the 40. Def a real niche scenario, but gotta appreciate the awareness when it does happen
That play you guys thought it was in a Superbowl can't be because it was two AFC teams playing against each other. SuperBowls are NFC vs AFC teams, only. The NFL actually thought of changing that because for a long period the NFC kept winning year and year but then an AFC team won and the subject died down.
The Saints rolling snap was not on purpose. The commentator was saying the direct snap to the running back was planned. The trick was not snapping to the QB. It just luckily bounced on the bad snap.
Definitely look up the Roethlisberger fake spike, which seems to be similar to Marino's that you both enjoyed; also, the Out of Bounds Kickoff rules possibly cost the Carolina Panthers a Super Bowl title in Super Bowl 38 (2004).
The result of him standing out of bounds and grabbing the live kickoff is the same as if the kicker bombed it out the sideline. The ball gets placed on the 40.
I do wonder if that Manziel play would still be valid today -- but it probably would. As long as he's not offsides and the right amount of players are on the line, it should be good. Those plays work best if it's not an actual roster QB making the pass so only one known QB is on the field... and also if a wide receiver or halfback is known to have a decently accurate pass in his arsenal it's less likely to succeed.
Disappointed the Chiefs snow globe play didn’t make it in. Y’all should look it up, it was simultaneously the most disrespectful and hilarious play I’ve ever seen.

Miami Dolphins vs San Diego Chargers wasn't in the Super Bowl it was the 1981 AFC divisional playoff game the Epic in Miami!
A week before the 'Freezer Bowl' in Cincinnati
Yes, I think that game is still considered the best game ever played.

Ahhh the Philly special.... That was one helluva play (4:57)
Eagles won their first SB that night against Tom Brady no less.
It was wild 🎉.
It's crazy that after the "out of bounds" kick touch made its rounds on media, the entire NFL has now been given a refresher course on it lol.

You want trick plays?
2007 Fiesta Bowl. Boise State vs Oklahoma.
That should be plenty of trick plays for you both
Tony Nathan lateral was not the superbowl, they were playing the chargers, same league. AFC. Miami played in a stadium called the Orange Bowl
The old hook & lateral is my favorite. You don't see it anymore!

You guys going to check out anything from the combine
there are some VERY famous examples of trick plays that went VERY wrong
That trick play to Foles was I think the last play of the game, or one of the last. It sealed the win in that SB.
I just looked this up and this play took place towards the end of the second quarter of the Superbowl.
@@MeanGene404 well. :) thx

Well from what I understand flag football in the 2028 Olympics.
LETS GO 49ers!!!!!
When a trick play is well covered by the defense and is only successful due to great effort, it’s not a good trick play. It’s just lucky.
A lot if these aren’t trick plays.
First one 🥇
