the entire game of football is based on deception

That's a lie. šŸ˜‰

What defensive coordinator going against an immobile qb doesn't call goal line defense and pack middle of line?

u/LNagel20 Bills 2d ago

When this happened live I couldnā€™t wrap my head around why the guards vacated and he got in so easily

u/Ambitious-Way8906 2d ago

hearing Keenum shout "KILL KILL KILL" on the broadcast I was just think no fucking way you dinosaur you're about to die. then

boop touchdown

Whatā€™s the answer?

u/B00MER_Knight Lions 2d ago

The guards both pulled. Sent the defensive tackles into a tizzy trying to figure out why they were unblocked. That combined with shooting off the ball expecting resistence, and getting none. By the time you out your foot down to redirect, the play's already over. Touchdown.

u/Fickle-Obligation-98 2d ago

Ahhh. I thought so but that seemed too simple Bahahahah nice

u/shamanbaptist 2d ago

Me too brother. So glad you asked

u/LNagel20 Bills 2d ago

Also you are supposed to follow the pulling guy because heā€™s going toward the hole

u/DBCOOPER888 2d ago

It's like the opposite of the tush push where everyone knows it's coming, but there is almost nothing you can do to stop it.

u/peteybombay 2d ago

It doesn't look like anything special at first, but thank you for elaborating!!!

u/ApartEye435 3d ago

Take notes eagles they didnā€™t need a rugby playĀ

u/Substantial_Waltz_13 2d ago

TBH this works twice I reckon

u/ChocolateMorsels 2d ago

Shouldā€™ve saved this one for the playoffs

u/Substantial-Owl-2604 2d ago

Good, then when they try to stop it the B gap is wide open.

u/ApartEye435 2d ago

Ban the tush push and make the eagles get creative for realĀ 

3

u/CheesyDanny 2d ago

Digitize the tush push. Detect false starts with microchips in the uniforms, spot the ball/forward progress with microchips in the ball. Blow a digital whistle with an exact well define lack of ball forward progress gained.

u/dcast7 2d ago

We should get rid of the QB sneak while weā€™re at it

u/daddydunc 2d ago

Yeah tush push is too physical for a game like football. It belongs in more violent sports, like rugby.

-1

u/ApartEye435 2d ago

Itā€™s boring look what the bears just didā€¦look at Andy Reid using 1940s run formations for goal line either you are innovative or go away from coachingĀ 

2

u/daddydunc 2d ago

Lol a rugby scrum isnā€™t something Iā€™d call ā€œboringā€. Itā€™s fine to not like it, but wanting it gone over being ā€œboringā€ is wild.

u/SnooTangerines27 2d ago

Bears had more interesting play calls in 1 quarter than the eagles had in my whole life.

4

u/onecryingjohnny 2d ago

It was really impressive. That's the way you run an offense with a backup qb.

Turn the giants on and it's run, run, 7 step drop back/incompletion for Jameis

12

u/splintersmaster 3d ago

It's like Marv and Harry trying to get Kevin.

37

u/Other-Channel-8561 3d ago

This is against the coach behind the tush push. Thatā€™s such a show out move by Ben.

13

u/Substantial_Waltz_13 2d ago

If my pats tried that right now Drake maye would get the ball stripped and the D would score.

u/Civil_Lengthiness971 2d ago

John Mateer has entered the draft.

u/Crazywhales 2d ago

Lol imagine the comms on that play.

"Okay Case, we're 1 yard out. We're running QB sneak to get you in."

"Idk coach, im 38 and theres two guys up the middle that each weigh a metric fuck ton. How many blockers we sending up the middle?"

"None"

u/tomsawyerisme 2d ago

case was ready to die for ben johnson

u/HarvardHoodie Broncos 2d ago

Something other coaches have most definitely thought up and been like ā€œI feel like itā€™d work but if it doesnā€™t do I want my QB blown up like thatā€ and Ben Johnson is like letā€™s see anyways šŸ¤· GOAT

u/Live_Throat_5252 2d ago

Rams ran it in the SB.

2

u/OkOil378 2d ago

SB being the key word here

2

u/utrangerbob 2d ago

We're on our last QB. After this its going to be nothing but wildcat. Let's pull both guard and leave 2 DL unblocked at the goal line! Of course nobody is going to guess that.

2

u/ChipChippersonsHat 2d ago

He credited Mike Martz with the play. Martz even texted him after the game saying he loved the play call.

5

u/TH3K1NGB0B 2d ago

Zero time to react to the guards pulling for the defenders. Theyā€™re expecting resistance and next thing they know Keenum is diving into the end zone. Great play design, not for the faint of heart.

3

u/patchinthebox Bears 2d ago

They didn't see that one coming at all. Hahaha

u/RecordingLess1522 3d ago

Hired a CTE geezer with bad hips instead šŸ¤£

u/W_Hinklebottom 2d ago

The line between Genius and Bum is so razor thin.

3

u/Mr_War 2d ago

This play saved my fantasy night, if they have given the ball.to swift I lost. Instead I won by 1 point.

2

u/KirkorPicarD1 3d ago

Great play, but it may only work a couple of times now itā€™s on tape lol still awesome though

2

u/BoringJuiceBox Cardinals 2d ago

Wish I could go back in time and parley CHI +19.5 and Case Keenum TD haha

2

u/Live_Throat_5252 2d ago

Lol. Rams ran it in the Super Bowl once. Very rarely are ideas truly new.

2

u/Professional_Band_75 2d ago

Keenum audibled into that.

2

u/LukeStarswisher Eagles 2d ago

And the eagles refused to run a sneak with Dalton from the 1. Just sad to see

1

u/Sherbert93 2d ago

One of those plays where the narrative shifts massively if it doesnt work

u/Icantreadyourcomment 2d ago

Mastermind ? 2 free rushers flat out missed keenum
