Serious question, why don't we ever run this play

The Picket Fence

Seems like a no brainer.

I don't know ABC. But I've always thought that if I ever get into coaching at all my team will learn it. It's a must have

HCGM must think that too many of our players would get caught watching the paint dry.

I think it is interesting to watch coached call for certain plays or defenses, and I have seen HCGM call for a '45' defense several times.

.45 there's some stopping power :good:

The picket fence is a gimmick play. You can run it once, but after that it won't work. Just like the crane technique in the Karate Kid. It worked in the first one, but when LaRusso tried to pull that crap in the 2nd one, Chosen was having none of it!

Those gimmick plays can work.

This isn't exactly the true Statue of Liberty play.

Maybe this is the "wounded" Statue of Liberty play.

This actually happened in a HS FB game in Kansas a few years ago. Film made national media - including Letterman. They had explained the play to the referees. It was legal.

Team lined up and a shouted conversation between the QB and coach took place:

This is approximately what happened.

QB: Coach, we got the wrong ball.
Coach: What?
QB: Coach, this isn't the right ball.
Coach: It's gotta be the right ball.
QB: No, I think this is a practice ball. It's the wrong ball.
Coach: Let me see that ball.
QB (to Center): Give me the ball, I've got to show it to coach.

Center stood up from his set position, turned around and handed the ball to the QB, who trotted to the sidelines and then the end zone while both teams stood and watched the play.

It only works once.

I believe that was Flint Hills. My sister knew a guy that was on that team. She may have even dated him at one point. I lost track of all those....

Perhaps it might work if HCGM had our team practice more wax on wax off and sand the floor routines. 8)

I thought this was discussed on Shockernet a year or two ago. There are videos on YouTube if you want to do a search. Also I thought this play was illegal in Kansas high school football.

When I am in doubt, I always ask myself, "What would Nobama do?"
