The Perfect Play

It is really a beautiful play being executed perfectly.

My question: do you guys think we'll be able to execute the middle screen so effectively? If so, watch out!

In high school, we used to execute a slip screen quite well. Although we threw to the reciever instead of the back, its not difficult to execute. A professional football team will have no problem whatsoever.

It's a borderline gadget play because the idea is to not block the defensive line, dump it over thier heads, and have the big nasties blow up some LBs and DBs downfield. I have to imagine Portis would be even better at running it than LJ because it's all open field running. Could be good, but if the D Line gets wise to it, it wont go anywhere.
