I expected better. Andy Lee is still G.O.A.Ting out here

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

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".

Just once. That's all we ask. It's been 4 years.

But only 22 games with Wish.

I'm actually talking ALL fakes...not just with the Special Teams Weapon.

So we need to go for fakes just to go for fakes?

Yup. Just like all 31 teams do annually. Some more creative than others.

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..

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.

All 31 other teams don't run at least one fake a year though. It's risk VS reward.

I'm willing to be all 31 teams have run at least some kind of trick play over the period Hightower has been here.

What was that awesome one we did under Harbaugh? Where Crabtree looked like he was walking off the field?

Belichick called a fake punt in 2017, it was the first one he had called in 13 years.

Wish is barely better than Pinion...

Upon which metric or feature do you judge this? Or is this just a pinion?
