Tastes Like Chicken Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Is there video posted anywhere? I was at the game as always, but would love to relive the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 That was a funny looking play to develop. I rewound it several times on the DVR to watch it in amazement. What amazed me MOST was that Sellars didn't choke! Hunter the Punter for PRO-BOWL Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedragon Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 this by far was one of if not my favorite plays of the last 20 years!! i think i laughed for about 5 mins str8....hunter is the man!!! Totally agree!, i was listening at ESPN980 and the commentators screamed and almost destroyed my eardrums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 it looked like it was destined to fail. 4th and 20, show the formation, call a time out and STILL run the same play? the blocking was excellent and a HUGE kudos to Hunter for looking away from the gang of men standing right in front of him and throwing a catchable ball to a wide open guy.

Burgold Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah, I can't believe the Broncos were surprised, esp. when we did the formation shift... perhaps it worked because of the time out. I also wanted to add, Hunter's passes look like punts. That was one lollipop of an arc. Good thing there was no one within a dozen yards of Mike when he threw it.

Skin'Em84 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I was thinking we should put Hunter in as QB cause he seems to throw a better deep ball then campbell. Are you kidding? That deep ball sucked. It took like 3 minutes to get there. Seriously, after the ball left his hands, I was able to run to the fridge and get a beer, drink it, eat my cheeseburger, and do my taxes before Sellers caught it.

ixcuincle Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I wasn't really paying attention during the first FG attempt until the timeout was called, which is why I'm not a coach. So it caught me by total surprise when Smith took the ball and threw it all the way to Sellers for a TD. Man that was a great play. One of the best plays I've seen in an otherwise disappointing season this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 The whole calling a timeout fiasco just reeked of incompetence, but in the end I think we were so sloppy in our own execution that it threw off the Broncos. you nailed it lombardi ...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I can't believe that someone actually had the audacity to draw that play up. It seemed like its success was based entirely on the Broncos have no idea what to do...and they didn't. Amazing play, but...wow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usapatriot Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 The only thing left for Hunter to do now is catch a TD. That guy is amazing. I'd like to see him undercenter on more plays. Maybe he can run the Skins version of the wildcat. We just do it in punt formation. Now it just needs a name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Brown #43 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Also, one of the Broncos players (can't remember who) said that after the time out, the Broncos players thought they heard our coaches yelling out "Let's just punt here!", so when the shifting took place, they might have thought it really was going to be a punt lol... That's hilarious if a coach actually shouted that to throw them off the scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roanoker Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 It looked like a trick play to me, but I couldn't figure what they were going to do until the TV camera panned to Sellers running down the field. I LMAO. Great play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Here's a thought... Mabe we should lineup in "punt formation" on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down....it'll give Jason more time back there...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 It's kind of funny how people are so accepting of this play... If it goes incomplete or worse yet, gets picked, everyone would be screaming at how incompetent EVERYONE on the coaching staff is...the fact is...it worked... Just like Belichick's 4th down call last night...if it worked he gets another key to the city...but as it stands, he'll probably be buying his own beer at the local bar this week. Here's a news flash...we got LUCKY on that play. This isn't to diminish that we put together our first complete game...I'm stoked about it...but hey, on this play...WE GOT LUCKY!!!!

Ummm, that's how football works. You make some risky calls and if they work you're a genius. It's not like the hand of god put that ball in Sellers' hands though. Proper execution made that play work. And all the people saying Smith throws a better deep ball than Campbell are just retarded. I could have completed that throw to a wide open Sellers standing still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPSean Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The play design was brilliant. Suisham and Yoder both split out to the left side as Smith set up as the QB/Punter. Yoder then went in motion to the right side as Smith took the snap. Sellers was sort of a TE on the line, but in the formation he basically looked like another lineman. Sellers pulled around in the backfield from the right side of the formation to the left as if he were a lineman pulling on a run block, and then he tore up field, as Smith got good protection and set up on the opposite side. Denver was so confused by this that Sellers was about as open as Brandon Marshall, and Smith was able to get the easy pass there in time. Even if Denver knew a fake was a possibility, it was a very hard play to stop because no one expected Sellers to pull around like that and no one was looking for a deep left pass with a PUNTER rolling to the opposite side of the field.

HapHaszard Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 After careful consideration, I have decided to expand my trick play conspiracy.Earlier I said I pondered the possibility of whether the 10 men on the field and the subsequent timeout were part of the trick. I know this is all ridiculous...but it makes you wonder. Or...it makes me wonder. :/ Those black helicopters over the field at the time were a dead giveaway :hysterical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to think we might run something tricky and at least be ready to react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
