    Seems like there's a lot of room for error when you're throwing a ball on the ground like that. Am I right?

        i wonder if it was planned that way or if the receiver improvised.

            Doesn't look planned.

              I thought it looked planned. The receiver never stopped. Also, on the replay, you can see the 1st receiver (the thrower) try to sell it by kinda just sitting there like the play is dead, then he suddenly throws the ball. He wasn't even looking down field before he threw it, so its not like he just happened to notice the receiver still running. One last thing: that ball wasn't even close to being a catchable ball (the first one). If the QB was really trying to throw it to the 1st receiver, it would have at least made it to his feet. It bounced 10 feet from the receiver!

                I don't know. How can you plan on the ball bouncing straight to the receiver? Lot's of margin for error.

                  Hey, I said just that! I think that makes it a risky play. But if you watch it, there are plenty of clues that they intended to do this. Who throws a ball THAT short? No way.

                  Plus, the color guy made a big deal of saying he used to run that play at smsmdshfd(mumble) back in the day. He could just be an idiot, but he made is sound like its a real play, at least in a handful of school's playbooks.

                    Besides, if you spend enough time with a football in your hands outside of practice (like most QBs do) then it doesn't take long to figure out how to throw it on the ground so that it bounces right back up to you. Similarly, if you practice this play enough, you could probably get pretty good at bounce passing the ball to a WR.

                      I think it was a real play. I've seen variations on it before.

                        That's a real play. We ran a skip lateral in HS designed the exact same way. And like this one, went for a TD.

                            A friend of mine said they ran something similar in high school he said that the kid would drop the ball instead. So everyone stops and he would then pick it up and throw it deep.
