2 QBs on the field?

[ColoradoHusk]

In '99 Newcombe threw a jailbreak screen to Crouch, who took it all the way. Granted, Crouch was probably one of the fastest guys on the team, and I don't think McCaffrey or Vedral are

Crouch played a lot as receiver in the first few games of '99 when Newcombe was the starter at the beginning of the season.  Solich was trying to get Crouch's athleticism on the field and appease Crouch by giving him some PT.  When Crouch took over the starting QB role, he and Newcombe basically switched spots and Newcombe became a full time WR (edited to what I meant to type).

No QB's, two centers, 3 footballs. Your move, God

When Smothers gets here.  

I was talking about this year.

All I want to know is after all this 11 QB talk, why isn’t every play a trick play??

 

[WyoHusker56]

We need a 2 kicker formation.  Are they attempting a field goal?  Are they punting? NOBODY KNOWS.

I mean this could be a fun on like a 50+ yard field goal attempt. You either keep everyone at the line of scrimmage or send guys out to cover the punt. Either pin them deep or run a fake or something. Super gimmicky.

Scrimmage kicks are pretty defined formations, contingent mostly on depth of recipient of the snap. I’m not even sure how you’d mechanically pull off what you’re describing.

You would short yourself a blocker/kick coverage guy but you could just have the kicker and holder line up like normal with a punter lined up where he would normally be and the snapper snaps it to either depending on the call. Then the holder and kicker can turn into protection on a punt and the punter is just there for show if its a kick.

Yup that's what I had in mind. It's obviously a trick play/gimmick so you're not holding yourself to traditional formations. Could be a total bust too.

That sounds like a snap just waiting to go bad, and a kick likely blocked if attempted.

On top of that, what is there to gain out of such a manuever? 

 

[Hilltop]

The biggest gain is the defense likely wouldn't have someone back to return the punt- allowing you to pin them deep if executed.  I don't like the idea but fun to think about.

Which you can do with a QB squib kick. 

Plus side, your holder doesn’t get killed. So that’s nice.

Or drop kick.  #BRINGBACKTHEDROPKICKMOVEMENT

Probably not a realistic play, but I saw the 2 kicker comment and it made my mind wonder to what a play like that would look like!
