I would be pissed off if our team ran an awesomely designed fake punt in a preseason game. That punt only helped our team by making them more aware of the crazy stuff that can happen at any given moment. It should keep them on their toes when they see anything unusual. You can bet that Bobby April will have someone assigned to break the punter's leg if we ever see a man motioning back on a punt.
If the Bills ran that fake punt...

Re: If the Bills ran that fake punt...
I thought it was ******ed of the TITANS to run that play in preseason. That is unless they run it a few more times and cause the opposing team to overreact and run into the kicker more often during the season... the its pure genius

Re: If the Bills ran that fake punt...
The thing is, there's a lot of things you can do with one play. He could actually hand it off to the guy, or the punter could run a short ways and throw the ball.
I just think of the Boise State bowl game win over Oklahoma. The statue of liberty play was one they had run before, except they passed it to the group formation and gotten a TD. Instead against Oklahoma they faked the throw (because Oklahoma knew what should have been coming) and handed it off.
The Titans could easily put a couple of wrinkles in that play to make it work during the regular season. I don't think it's a big deal."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: If the Bills ran that fake punt...
They ran it b/c that guy isn't going to make the team. Fisher even said that later on. Granted, running trick plays in preseason is stupid, but I guarantee you they don't run that again. Could they run that same formation and hand it off? Absolutely. But their 1st string punter won't be doing that in the regular season.

Originally posted by jamze132I agree to an extent. And your theory about our players now being on their toes is dead on, but the problem lies with the players being mental midgets who have tunnel vision on almost every play.

he said hentrick will never ever run that in a regular season or playoff game, and hentrick's their regular punter
if anything, this backup punter just put a nice highlight on his audition reel

Re: If the Bills ran that fake punt...
It makes the opponents review the tape of it and at least spend meeting time schemeing it just in case. That's why he runs them, he runs them every preseason. He's been doing it for a while now. Its not a secret, we knew coming in we'd almost certainly see a fake of some sort on ST.COMING SOON...

Re: If the Bills ran that fake punt...
of course we'd be pissed if the bills ran that play. because the bills seemingly have a knack of designing a play that only has one derivation of it. The Titans probably have other wrinkles like actually pitching it, running with it, passing it.
The bills pretend like they plain vanilla stuff because they make it so more exotic in the regular season and they don't.
Fisher and most coaches probably run these things because they want to see how another team reacts to it. See what their defense or lineup does to it so that they can execute it even better in the regular season.
It's just a pathetic state that the bills doesn't use the preseason to fine tune their game. instead they pretend like they have all these special things they have perfected in their own practices and can't wait to show us in week 1. it's just not going to happen. it hasn't happened the last 3 years, and we'd be delusional that same ole' jauron is going to actually catch everyone off guard this time around.
