I thought "Fake Punts with Wishnowsky" was the new radio show taking over for the "Joe Show"

They probably have some in the playbook ready.

We needed a fake punt thread also.

Been screaming for this from the moment he was drafted.

Yea not sure what the deal is. Watch other games and you have the punt/kick returners actually "returning" the football for some gains, or at least trying to... Us, never..

During this last game against the Rams, we were on our side of the field and during a punt he had almost no rush and there was one defender on the right side. He could have ran it easy there for 15yds untouched.

Every weekend you see trick plays around the league. Not us. Not ever. Our dudes are taught to fair catch with nobody within 40 yards or go right at the first guy down the field and go down. Kevin White didn't get the memo and tried to actually return a kickoff and was instantly benched.

Easiest job on the planet.

You think Hightower has free reign to call fakes when he pleases?

It couldn't be that the HC/OC is against taking risks that could effect his ability to control the game with his play calling.

He has free reign to impress upon the HC that he can run these with success like every other ST coach in the NFL.

You can only impress the HC with those fakes in practice.

In an actual game, there are variables that come into play as to whether you would actually call for one that go beyond "well it worked well in practice".

Defense also factors into a decision to call a fake. If you aren't successful, you are likely asking the D to defend a short field.

I've thought about this a lot actually. I thought we should have tried it in the super bowl. Probably a better chance then stopping Mahomes. Oh well. Our special teams sucks.

It will never happen. But why hire an attack dog and never let them out of the cage? I could understand this with Pinion but c'mon man, I thought KS was a genius. We all know what Hightower is. Hope they prove me wrong and do something special.

I do think that trick plays would only be used when the team is either dominant or desperate. Those things really haven't aligned with Wish and this team yet. I expect if it does and we don't see a fake then the some will be calling for the ST coach's head.
