On a different note- do we have an extra pt QB on the roster?

Do we have anyone on roster who could run a Wildcat or similar, in the event we have to keep pace? Someone with even a hint of an arm, maybe played QB in college some?

---

Why would we want to do this when we have Brees?

I see what you are trying to say. Itll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Tebow/cam? Taking the ball away from Brees?

Because I'd rather have him on the sidelines looking at pictures of the TD drive he just had rather than being out there for every extra point just so he could be part of a trick play once in a blue moon.

Now if we're talking about going for two straight up (with no fake fg), that's a no brainer, keep Brees out there.

Why would teams be more likely to try a fake FG from the 15?

And to the OP. We'd obviously keep drew on the field

There's this archery video you should watch. Would answer all your questions pronto.




Don't get to use the word "pronto" often and its a awesome word. Thanks Scoob

We can always have Khiry catch the snap and slap his arse like a horse

That's what backup qbs are for. If it's an obvious 2 pt attempt drew is in the game.

To all those who say "keep Brees in there", consider this- true goal-line plays are very different than the regular offense. The Saints have had an awful time just blasting away on the ground (Ingram's been stuffed a lot, but don't forget that even going back to the Super Bowl season, we've been stuffed a lot). A Brees pass will have to be a quick hitter; and really, I'd rather see Brees in the gun with a bunch of receivers crossing than a tight formation.

But- a horse like Tebow gives you, for lack of a better term, options. Like running the option, while still having a semblance of a pass or handoff (or a straight keeper).

I know, sounds ridiculous, and the Saints in the dome don't really need a "specialist". But a team like the Eagles just might, and honestly, I could see the value of a Tebow just for that, especially come November and later. He'd be a real bitch to stop, and the conditions might make a kick less than 100%. If you both score 4 TDs, and they get 3/4 2pt conversions, it's 30-28. Wind and sleet/snow might make you miss a few kicks, and suddenly, you're not tied despite equal TDs, you're behind.

Hell, I saw Tampa miss a kick this week in good conditions. That's no longer a gimme kick, if you pull it, you miss now.

A final note on the extra point deal- I agree with Gruden, who said he didn't like the change. It seems stupid to fool around with rules, just for the sake of it.

Does anybody really know: can a QB line up in the shotgun, and then drop-kick for the point after? I know it's archaic, but I thought it was still within the rules, until now. But if they did that from the 2, is it disallowed, or just a penalty/replay?

Also, I presume you're still allowed, in theory, to run a fake from the 15, right? If so, someone will do it, because until it's tried, the kick block team will now be completely unsuspecting it. And really, it's a fade to the TE from the 15; most backup QBs (holders) can do that easily. I wouldn't be surprised if Payton's the one that calls it first.

Apparently you have missed all those games where Drew jumps over the oline and stretches the ball across the goaline.

No, I didn't. He's done that 3, maybe 4 times, and when he did it against the Dolphins the first time I was impressed like everyone else.

He's not doing that from the 2 yd line.

Ok; so the answer apparently is: no, there is nobody on the team that can run such a play. I didn't know if maybe a RB or WR had some QB or wildcat experience in college, that IF WE WANTED TO, we could use.

Thanks
