Because a Traditional Play-Action Pass Made Too Much Sense

You see innovations like the West Coast offense or the zone blitz, and you're immediately amazed at the genius. That's what separate guys like Bill Walsh and Dick LeBeau from, say, Mike Tice and Eric Mangini.

And then there are plays that define a philosophy. For the Joe Gibbs Redskins it was the counter trey. For the Bill Belichick Patriots it's (at least for me) the variations of the screen pass. And for the Bethel University Royals it's the fake toss reverse alley-oop at the goal line. Or, as it's officially known in the playbook: Ace Rt Zoom 48 Granny QB.

Ridiculousness after the jump.



The headline to Spencer Hall's SBNation post pretty much says it all: "Trick Plays Sometimes Make No Sense, Work Fabulously."
