We need to try this

[Valpo2004]

 

I havn't seen this play before.

 

Play starting at 52 seconds into the video. . . #4 is TY Hilton.  

[Smonroe]

Yeah, college. 

 

You know what happened last time Reggie threw a pass, right?

[Gavin]

You trust our O Line to hold up long enough not to get TY killed on that play? I don't...especially if he bobbles the ball

[crazycolt1]

College play?  For one thing the Colts are not playing collage players.

[CR91]

with or without the fumble?

[Buck Showalter]

Did Addai ever actually complete a pass the handful of times he attempted?

[Smonroe]

Yes, Addai threw a TD pass.  He was a QB in high school, I think.

 

That same year Reggie attempted a pass and it was a disaster.

[Buck Showalter]

Thought I remembered that correctly, I think Addai was a Lefty too, or maybe not...

Anyhow, a trick play or two are cool every now & then, but not sure this is how id use TY in trickery...

[ruksak]

I say we stick to what has made us the #1 offense in the NFL. 

[TKnight24]

Exactly, trying to be cute is what loses or cost you games

And usually being cute is only for desperate teams like the Steelers this past Monday

Yeah because a WR pass has never worked in the NFL before.

After seeing that throw, TY is the last guy we want to see doing it.

Right

[BrentMc11]

I am laughing out loud.  

 

Maybe not TY, but I see a Patty Mac fake punt coming soon to stadium near you.  Pat can throw...kick, and tackle  

[TKnight24]

After seeing that throw, TY is the last guy we want to see doing it.

Griff Whalen looks like someone who can throw at least accurately for 15 yards

[ColtsBlueFL]

Pagano has shown more desire to be aggressive recently, but he's no Jeff Fisher... yet.  LOL!  But watching that video, I was hoping that interception was TY, performing on D too!  Reminded me a lot of this gem-

Ahhh, yes. I remember that time Dallas Clark threw a pass to Dallas Clark and was tackled by Dallas Clark just after lateraling to Dallas Clark and Dallas Clark scored a touchdown. 

 

 

 

Dallas Clark. 

[lollygagger8]

Sign Addai for one game amd have him throw it. 

 

[Superman]

Am I missing something? That was a GREAT throw...

[superrep1967]

Yeah, college. 

 

You know what happened last time Reggie threw a pass, right?

Maybe we need Addai to come back and throw a pass. 

[superrep1967]

Sign Addai for one game amd have him throw it. 

 

Opps I didn't see that you sent that already. 

[ProblChld32]

Trick plays seem to be the trend this season. 

[Superman]

Yeah because a WR pass has never worked in the NFL before.

Never.

[HtownColt]

Yea Addai was a QB in HS but that was basically another RB with Sharpstown's option offense

[IndySouthsider]

Don't the list Boomstick as the 3rd QB if injury requires it?

[BrentMc11]

Don't the list Boomstick as the 3rd QB if injury requires it?

Yes, and they also have Samson Satele on speed dial.  OOOPs...wrong position....

[ColtsBlueFL]

Am I missing something? That was a GREAT throw...

 

The result was great!  But it appears TY went to the Dan Quisenberry school of quarterbacking-

 

 

{  I Had to get a Royals 'Props to You' pic in somewhere! This fits!!  ;-)  }

[Valpo2004]

Steelers did a successful WR pass for a TD on Monday night.  Looked just like the Hilton play minus the fumble.

[Smonroe]

LOL!  In the NFL the DBs would have had time to change their cleats and have a snack before making the interception.

 

Yeah TY, stick to outrunning those DBs.

Am I watching the wrong play? There were no DBs in the area, they all ran toward the ball, the receiver was wiiiide open, and the ball didn't hang in the air for a long time anyways... ???

Funny we're even discussing it.  Can we agree it was a lob?  You may be right, he may not have had to throw it any harder since the receiver was that wide open. 

 

I just thought it was a typical college play.  Busted coverage, just about anyone with an arm could make the throw.  It hardly means it would work in the pros.

If it was baseball, they would have issued the 'infield fly rule.'    OK..maybe not

I wonder if Boomstick is impressed with the hang time?  ;)  Quisenberry loved the movement on the pitch... ooops, the pass.  :highfive:

 

Reminded me a little of how we'd throw practice pop fly's in the outfield to each other while the pitcher got his warmup pitches in before the inning began.

 

I think in the NFL there might have been an ineligible man down field.  It seems more than a couple times on busted play like that, at least one O lineman heads upfield too early, before the play is done and draws the flag.

The steelers ran pretty much the exact same play with Antonio Brown on MNF and it led to a TD.  Some slight differences but the differences are minor.

I was thinking the same thing on the ineligible man downfield.

I saw the play.  Are you saying that because a WR pass worked for them it would for us?

 

Look up the Reggie pass for the counter point.

I'm saying it's possible.

It wasn't a rope. I guess it had too much air under it. His delivery wasn't textbook (neither is Phillip Rivers', of course). 

 

But he's getting chased to his left, and as a right hander, all his momentum is going away from the direction of the throw, as he throws across his body back toward the right. That's a tough throw for anyone. And the ball still goes 40 yards down the field. It might have been a lob, but at least it wasn't a duck. Maybe it doesn't hold up to QB standards, but for a trick play, I'll take that throw and be happy.

 

And that's the thing. He's not really trying to beat a DB. The coverage was blown. Doesn't matter how good the DBs are, they were toast already. Now maybe you don't get a blown coverage like that in the NFL (maybe you do; it happens), but if you do, I think that throw would suffice.

 

It just seemed to me like people were talking about the throw as if he had made the ugliest throw of all time. I think it was a really good throw from a non QB.

I'm not a fan of plays like that but sometimes desperate times call for desperate plays .

It was very effective. Fantastic result. We are just having a little fun with the delivery.  (But he was under duress, I agree) We all would take that result, and chuckle about it too, maybe.  But I probably wouldn't want that attempt if there was an NFL DB within 15 yards of receiver at launch... :-)
