Love it.:up: At least we aren't a boring team to watch. The fake punts this year have been successful so props to Special teams and their genius coach. :jets:
That was good - but the "genius" coach also allowed an on-sides kick. I was yelling watch for the on sides before it even happened, and you could see the coverage units running back before the ball was even kicked. Don't get me wrong - I do like Westhoff, but I swear his ST must lead the league in giving up the on sides kick since he's been here.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.:sad: Anyway fake punt is at :37 http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2009121309/2009/REG14/jets@buccaneers#tab:watch
that was awsome. when i watch the replay it SO brings me back to the days of the chad pennington laser beams.....
True, although big Ben was never the athlete. Also I would have backed him in a jump ball-hail mary situation but in truth he'd have never got to the endzone in time.
The front line was running back before the ball was kicked. The ball deflected off the back of the leg of the Buc player 12 yards down the field. If the ST were prepared for the on-side kick, they are in position to recover the ball instead of being no where in sight. That is poor coaching/ST play, period. They should have been in position to make a play, but weren't. It shouldn't have been a surprise that they were attempting an on-side kick being so far behind.
