I saw some wonderful special teams trickery watching Canadian football out of boredom the other night.  The kick went down the middle of the field - the were four guys back - 1 on each third of the field, and then one in front of them for a pooch kick.

The up-back handled the ball, and they they basically ran a triple-option off of his possession.  Each wide-out return man went toward the middle of the field, so the guy could do a reverse with a simple hand-off / pitch.

They deep guy delayed, like on a draw play, for the wide return men to cross, and then he came up the middle.  The receiver / short-man could hand off, or fake it and run a keeper on a bootleg.

It was like watching old 1940s, wing-T football, with all the ball-handling trickery, but executed much faster, at "modern" speeds.

I'd love to see something like that once in a while.  Coach Mac used to pull some tricks on returns.  Some of them became famous moments in Orange history.  It's certainly worth taking a chance when you only won 1 stinking game last year.  This is no time for "coaching by the book".  LOL
