That is what I thought but the punter just takes the snap and waits to get tackled. That is the part that I was confused by.

Yea I am surprised NFL teams still try that kind of fake.

It looks like they executed it wrong, because the punter moved over with the rest of the line. Strangely we executed it correctly(extra blocker and a long snap to allow time for the downfield action), and a good heave scores:

You can watch it and see that no one stayed behind the center at first.

Bottom line to all NFL coaches, never ever let your ST coach trick you into this.

Basically, Belichick >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>zorn>>>>>>>Rich Kotie>Gruden>a turd in the road>>>>Chuck Pagano.

Belicheat of course was ready for the Colts to implode:

"We expected this to be a gadget game in the kicking game -- the onside kick, some kind of fake, fake punt, fake field goal," Patriots coach Bill Belichick added. "We didn't know what the play was going to be, obviously, but they went on the swinging gate type play and we went over to the overshift and made sure we covered the inside part and we reacted well to it. So it was a heads up play by our punt return unit."

the afc south is horrible, Colts should be running away with the division.

My buddy lendy Holmes was on that team and he still laughs about this play today
