Sand Lot Football
Dec. 5th, 2005 11:08 amDespite second half offensive woes and an defensive gameplan that allowed Detroit to go to the underneath options all game long (but not score much), the Vikings are now a legitimate playoff contender. They need to win 3 of their 4 final games to get at least a Wild Card (I believe), and are showing a lot of creativity.
From This article, we hear about how two big pass plays were set up.
""We call it, 'Dart right, all go,' or 'Louisiana -- by you,' " Johnson said of the play. "The limit is usually 40 yards. [Backup quarterbacks] Shaun Hill and J.T. O'Sullivan were standing down on [the Detroit] 40. I said to Koren, 'Look at those guys; go 5 yards past them.' ""
and
"In the huddle, Johnson told Robinson: " 'There's a cameraman in a red hat. Run to him.' It was sort of like Thanksgiving football ... run to this spot. Koren made a tremendous play and was there.""
My family and the Bakers, who lived near us Indiana, used to play inter-family (mixed squads) Thanksgiving football. I miss it.
