Trickery. We could not gain a yard, they were in the backfield on every snap. They sniffed out screens. yeah, a reverse or flea flicker would have worked, except Pitt would have been in the backfield to take the ball from whatever texan had it. Any other great ideas?

maybe it's just me counting, but 7 on the line + 1 qb is 8 = 3 routes being run. since andre was slicing them up by himself, i think we could've tried it. or maybe we could've seen how far ahman could get it on another screen pass? yea why not, there was nothing they could do. no one had any ideas as to how to slow down the rush. oh wait, i had 2 pretty solid ideas that they didn't try...where are yours? i can't seem to find them in this thread...oh well, at least your neg-ing on the posts which have something to contribute.

the point of misdirection is to take advantage of over-aggressive defenses.
