[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 170988, member: 195"] OK, a couple obvious points to set the stage: 1) It's not something you just do. The person receiving the pitch must be ready for it as opposed to looking to make a block or something. 2) Unlike rugby, you can maintain control on O and get 1st downs, etc. There's no need to keep the ball moving. So, there should be a good reason for it, besides "fun." So, it's most likely to happen within an already existing option play. It would occur if defenders slow played taking the QB and allowed him to get past the line of scrimmage. This happened at times with Nesbit and Allen, but I think Ds are being more aggressive now. Also, if JT has the ball that far, it may be better to block than keep pitch relationship. [/QUOTE]
