the 2nd isnt a statue of liberty play... the 2nd is simply a doubly fake play... its a fake bad snap (what brady does) and a fake direct snap to the rb. After that it's just a normal pass play. Statue of liberty is more like boise state's play to win a few years ago
The Hoodie isn't a real fan of gadget plays. To Coach Bill the end around is usually about as crafty as he gets. Besides the direct snap to the RB in the shotgun, with Brady constantly jumping up like it is a high snap, none of the other plays ever gets repeated.
@AznPryde17 Well first of all you hide the ball, so they have zero idea where it is. Second, defensive players react. It's hard to see things with everyone moving and linemen in the way and with the few seconds, if that, you have to react. Every little fake counts.
That second play isn't a a statue of liberty (which is a fake throw, run play). What people are missing is that the Patriots frequently run a direct snap to the RB, while Brady jumps/spins with his arms up, to make it look like the snap went over his head (a common high school football play). Here, they fake the direct snap, while Brady still does the hands up jump to sell it.
@Borohockey28 You're missing the overall point. The Statue of Liberty play is a running play. The QB fakes like he's going to throw, and the RB takes it out of his hand and runs with it. Which isn't what the Patriots did. The Patriots faked a direct snap to the running back. In a sense, the Pats did a fake statue of liberty.
As much as I love the Pats, that statue of liberty one didn't really fool anyone. The middle linebacker watched him all the way, and almost picked it off.
Still a great play, but not really a successful "trick" play...
Brady's jump was not actually meant to suggest a bad snap. On goal line situations, the Pats are known to line up in shotgun and directly snap to the running back, usually with Brady doing a similar kind of gesturing. In this case, the Jaguars thought they were getting that direct snap, so they played against the run. The trick of this play is tricking the Jags into believing it was a trick play. That's the brilliance of it.
@AznPryde17 If the defense is biting on the play,faking like you're throwing the football,it'll catch the defense off guard. Then you hand the ball off to your running back.I know this is going back to college football,but that's how Boise State knocked off Oklahoma for the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl victory.
@AznPryde17 i dont play football...but i know football. and you cant imagine the pressure these athletes feel when they hit the field. EVERYTHING can be a mindfuck distraction and this play is...in my opinion...the greatest play i have ever witnessed. masterful in every way. p.s. i dont even like the pats.
@AznPryde17 To hopefully make the defense think that the QB got a bad snap. Thus hopefully bringing the defense in towards the QB to relieve pressure on the receivers.
@TheSportsCritic The actual reason for him raising his hand, is to fake the direct snap (which they use somewhat often) and fake the defense into playing the run..
@TheSportsCritic Actually the statue of liberty is usually used as a run play where the qb acts as if he's throwing a quick screen to a reciever when he actually puts the ball behind his back and the half back gets it from him. This play however was more of a statue of liberty play action pass.
Only one problem here though The Patriots never went completely undefeated they didnt win the superbowl so they didnt go undefeated other than that awesome plays even though i hate the Pats
Pats are the best... and all you people saying Manning is better than Brady are retarded... you may say because he has a little better stats... probably because Brady didnt start as a rookie and he has had injuries like in 2008 when he was out for the season... Tom Brady FTW
@rickytp1988 haha be chill man. I couldn't find the original clip for that, and the one I did find had some whack tune. At the time I made this, that song was hot, that's why I put it up.
@TheSportsCritic just for the record....the only man aware of what was going on the whole time was that defensive back ?5 ....he was NOT fooled at all...but guessed that the throw would go to the right side. if he guessed correct...it may hv turned out different.
@MadonnaManson2007 hmmm what happend? 4-1 suck it! and i LOVE how people STILL say cheatriots, like it or not they just got caught doing what every other team in the league did
@MadonnaManson2007 Yeah with the best record in the league and having won the division again last year, they are definitely finished. Dumb fucking hater with nothing better to do, get a job and a life.
@MadonnaManson2007 ok stfu. ill take a team that goes 18-1 any year. first team ever to have a perfect regular 17-week regular season. greatest offense ever breaking countless records. they lost in the superbowl, so what, they made it, only 2 teams do. So grow up and for one i would like to congratulate the patriot's on such a great 2007 and for the many more years to come in the bellicheck/brady era.
@MadonnaManson2007 theyre still in first place and are tied for the best record in the NFL. Every team loses sometimes such the Yankees lose to the Orioles every couple games
@GTA4fan23 im a patriots fan too, but back in the day (1950's) they were one of the best NFL teams before Vince Lombardi's Packers dominated the NFL in the 60's...and they did win championships sorta like we did cept we were better
ok here we is again. read and try to understand. just bc they got to kno a lil bit of this and that from defense calls, doesnt give them an automatic w. the o-line still needs to block, the recievers still need to catch, the rb still needs to break tackles and run, and the qb still needs to read the field and make good throws, while not gettin sacked.
@earthpart3 "like I said"....when did you say anything in this thread??...how about you get a life and stop hanging out on other people's conversations...go get some friends while you're at it, you loner!.....i can't believe this guy bumped this thread from 10 months ago. How many pages did you have to turn til you got to this convo anyway -- loser has nothing to do but watch gay ass Pats videos and scan through a year of comments....haha...fuck off fag!..haha
@earthpart3 "Make me"...wtf haha, what a retard. We're on the internet dumbass, what do you want me to do? send u an email with an asswuppin' attached to it!...fuckin' retard
its not. wildcat is a FORMATION where the running back is under center. a running back direct snap is a PLAY where the quarterback is still in the backfield behind the center, but the runningback receives the snap to his side.
One, Know your role and shut your mouth. Two, Tom Brady is not a douchebag. Three, He scored, did he not? So all in all dont watch the video you worthless Patriots hater.
the 2nd isnt a statue of liberty play... the 2nd is simply a doubly fake play... its a fake bad snap (what brady does) and a fake direct snap to the rb. After that it's just a normal pass play. Statue of liberty is more like boise state's play to win a few years ago
