Do you have a favorite football play?

that was there, didn't I tell you boys? Just keep matriculating the ball down the field. The best football play is a well executed run. A draw, an off tackle run, Joe Morris running over the 49ers in the playoffs, Gayle Sayers running back a kickoff, the perfect combination of grace and power. even Barry Sanders running side to side, losing a yard, but the next play he went 60 yards. OJ running 80 yards from scrimmage and the Steel Curtain couldn't stop him.

I also like the old time sweep play.

like Beckham's. I was in the middle of talking to my wife and laying down on the couch and I was literally in mid-sentence when he made that catch and I jumped up to my feet and yelled 'GET DA FUCK OUTTA HERE!'. Scared the shit out of her because she wasn't looking at the tv when it happened so she didn't see it when it happened. When she saw the first replay she was like 'Wait... he caught that?!'. LOL!

for a critical 1st down

was another play that made me stand to my feet. The one where Eli threw like a 40 yard pass along the right sideline to Toomer that Toomer grabbed as he dove into the endzone. Just a pretty pass and catch by the two of them. I'll see if I can find a clip of it.

there's just something sweet about the timing and precision it takes on both the QB/WR to nail a good back-shoulder pass. Eli to Plax. Eli to Nicks. Eli's thrown some great back-shoulder passes in his day.

A halfback toss when the OL is playing well. Just cool to watch all those big bodies pull and move to the second level, while the RB tries to figure out the hole to hit.

A big hit in the secondary is still a favorite of mine even though the NFL is moving away from it. Nothing gets me out of my seat like a big hit.

A DL just overpowering OL is also great. I love it when I see opposing OL get pushed back into the ground. When JPP unleashes his raw strength at times, it's awesome to see how far back the OT gets tossed back.

Always gets me pumped. Either screaming if the giants are on D, or moaning if the Giants are on O.

ala Marino on Aaron Glenn

You never really saw the end of game play we ran with Ron Dixon against the eagles before then. Ever since then it's been standard throughout the league (little 15 yard in with the misdirection toss to a burner)

And an explosion once clear of the front 7.

I mean I don't think there is anything that fires you up more then watching something like OJ Anderson deliver that uppercut, or BJ trucking Landry.

stand ...nothing get the hair on the back of your neck standing more than plays like this ....

The '95 Nebraska offense was unbelievable to watch.

Always gets the team fired up.

When Eli starts slinging the back shoulder fade because it's on, you can bet he keeps going to it until the D proves they can stop it.

And they usually can't.

The moment I started thinking nicks might really be done was when he stopped hauling in those passes. Couldn't even get airborne enough to get back to the ball faster than the CB then later that last season, Eli basically gave up throwing that route.

We started it up again with OBJ last year, I'd bet we see a heavy dose again this year.

God help defenses if we get cooper

Every time I see the play it works great. It is just a cool play to see IMO. My brother every game we go to calls for the flea flicker... EVERY GAME!

''sack in the end zone

ok, so for offense, I would go with first and goal:

= Run 4 times.

makes me jump up every time. Wish we would use it more.

of the inside shovel pass. Of course, I've only seen used against us.
