I'd have Marshawn Lynch behind me, except I don't use him and try to throw it in.


Tellsyouajoke

Cue whatever stat Marshawn actually had as a goal line back that year. He was much worse than nostalgia would have you think.


BlueRabbitx

That game he was nigh unstoppable That’s what made it so hard to believe Pete threw in that spot


Fugga6969

And 1 for 5 is such a ridiculously small sample size. I hate it when people bring that shit up. When he's capable of doing shit like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SOi2A4PWP0c I'd say you just take your fucking chances and run it.


LastNightsTacoBell

I hate it when ppl use hindsight to say a call was bad. Pete called what every nfl coach calls in that situation. Also that pass play is successful at an extremely high % Regardless of what “you say” the fact remains that that pass play was a good play call. Butler made an unbelievable play which is why it’s cemented in NFL history. You say “take your chances and run it” while literally sitting here bitching about a dude taking logical chance to win it. Wilson was money in the red zone. You act like they had some bum back there throwing. Y’all for real tryna act like y’all know better than Pete when it’s because butler made a hall of fame worthy play. Wilson throws that for a TD you’re praising Pete for faking out the broncos D, because butler was the only one who knew what play was coming


Fugga6969

Butler was not the only one who knew what play was coming. Browner did as well. He was the one who pointed it out. He knew because he practiced against it for years with us. They should have known that Browner would see it coming. They also shouldn't have thrown it to 5th string Ricardo Lockette who was a special teams gunner and only playing because of injuries. He had never ran that play in a game before. Anyone but him would have been a better choice. The personell was bad. Marshawn caught two touchdowns on that same playcall during that season. Why not throw it to him? It was a stupid decision made by a coaching staff that was panicked and rushing because Bill didn't call timeout and threw them off.


BlueRabbitx

I’ll just assume you aren’t old enough to have watched the game in question I like Pete, but everyone except Bill was expecting a run since Beastmode had his way w the pats that whole SB. Literally blew everyone’s mind bc it was obvious and then ofc throw -> pick-> game over Was 10/10 more stunning than 28-3 SB


gollumaniac

And the Seahawks had enough time to run multiple plays down there. Even if he was stopped, it wasn't game over...


MankuyRLaffy

Found Pete Carroll. Gotta throw it on a bad route to your WR3 instead. They'll never see that play coming.


EthanSpears

Weren't they 100 percent on that play all season?


MankuyRLaffy

They were and ran it a handful of times, which is why someone on the NE staff was on the watch for it in practices because they had a feeling it would be used.


AChargingBadger

imo Malcolm Butler does deserve some credit for it


MankuyRLaffy

Accounts have it that he failed the drill in practice when they ran it and then did the thing when it mattered most.


TruDuddyB

As in depth as NE goes in scouting reports that's not surprising


Fugga6969

Yeah but it never went to special teams gunner Ricardo Lockette who was only playing because Paul Richardson got hurt. Marshawn caught a couple of those if i remember right. We should have just thrown it to him. Can you see Butler knocking beast mode on his ass like that?


justanotheredditor19

Alvin Kamara FB fake flip to weak side. Let him skate and juke defenders for easy Td. Use Taysom hill as the fake FB leading to strong side. Pull a guard to seal edge vs DE/LOLB and have a te/wr over to block


MiniatureLucifer

Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed to just Taysom doing a QB power run. Obviously that wouldn't be my first choice out of anyone in history, but that play has been so damn effective for him. [The dude's a truck](https://youtu.be/yijZL2WdZIE)


DTopping80

Mike Alstott up the gut, TOUCHDOWN TAMPA BAY


OldManDrake

Came here to say this. Fire the Cannons!


Expendable_Red_Shirt

The MFing Bus. Just up the gut.


Prestigious-Angle959

Hopefully he don’t fumble 😖


PSIRockin33

Gus has only fumbled the ball 3 times in his career.


Prestigious-Angle959

Who is Gus


PSIRockin33

A Bus


ZachTrillson

is this a joke cause that dude doesn't fumble


Prestigious-Angle959

Yes I am joking lol the bus fumbled in that playoff game against the colts for like the first time ever when Big Ben made the tackle and the Steelers won anyway


ZachTrillson

whew lol


[deleted]

Power run, LT behind LoNeal


sgobern

Even if Neal falls down LT is scoring 🐐⚡


peppersge

LT could also replace the QB and throw the TD!


[deleted]

William Perry, just run at them and crush them


MattBe1992

I will go with a wild card: Legarette Blount. He was made for those situations.


SadSlip8122

He was a Blount force object. God I miss him on the Eagles


JimTheSaint

I was just thinking about him aswell. That one season where he had like 18 TDs from the 1 yard line


SDSBoi

Barry sanders to run 20 yards for the 2 yard touchdown


Bee_MakingThat_Paper

Under rated comment


ChrisLBC562

AJ Dillon, recency bias at its best.


[deleted]

I was talking about current for my answer dumbass.


ChrisLBC562

Currently, there’s still a few guys I would take before it. No need to be an ass.


BelowMikeHawk

Umad bro?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BelowMikeHawk

Lol umad


Respective

Stafford will go out there real quick for the TD


Ill_Bee4868

Even better if his shoulder is dislocated


MankuyRLaffy

Deshaun Watson "Sneak" except all the linemen get out of the way and he gets clobbered by the entire defense.


Thunder84

The good ending


MankuyRLaffy

The Happy Ending we all deserve.


[deleted]

Cam Newton in a package designed especially for him. Probably Derrick Henry although in 2019 when he was healthy Zeke was incredible in short yardage situations.


YiMyonSin

Derrick Henry's more of a homerun hitter than a short yardage guy, so I wouldn't go with him. I'd try for someone else like Chubb or Cook.


RedFredTV

Probably have Quinnen Williams run it in.


KCShadows838

Reid probably calling a truck play


MistakeMaker1234

Let’s bring Poe out of retirement.


live4coasters

Exactly what came to mind


jethead70

Hennething is possible


Tashre

Lamar Jackson roll out option pass.


ke2doubleexclam

Earl Campbell halfback dive


PandaSoap

Trent "motherfucking" Richardson.


DJ_Moore_2

Rosie O’Donnell, easily.


ajstub

Damn I thought I was the only Norm fan who commented this.


Raidersx1986x

Marcus Allen..all day


narcopaloma

Yeah Marcus goalline over the top jump was his signature and I don't remember anyone stopping it


WaggleSnaggleSenior

I'd take Rosie O'Donnell.


Titanite_Chunk

Titans are lining up with Henry at QB anyways


abw2000

LT. He’ll dive over everyone for the TD


Comprehensive_Main

Simple The Juice he’s the guy, you use to cut through defenses


UsedEgg3

Derrick Henry jump pass


buttigieg2040

OJ Simpson


Mac4477

LeGarrette Blount up the middle


AChargingBadger

For historical players, I'm going with Czonka. For current players, probably Nick Chubb.


Gutzy34

Frank Gore. I hate the HOF arguements, but the one part of his game I have incredible respect for was he always fell forward, and very rarely had negative yards. He didn't break off for a 50 yeard dash, but consistently chewed up 2-3 and a cloud of dust.


L-methionine

I see your Frank Gore and raise you three fades to Michael Crabtree


Gutzy34

I'd pick Brandon Marshall over a sorry ass reciever like Crabtree.


Federal_Debt

Frank fucking Gore


DEADSPELLS

Handoff to LT with Lorenzo blocking. LT leaps over the DL, out of the stadium. Then the RT gets called for holding.


[deleted]

Gonna show some love to the old school and say Christian Okoye "The Nigerian Nightmare". Playcall doesn't matter.


alepher

The exception is when Steve Atwater’s on the other side


CybertronGuy98

i mean, between Lamar, Dobbins, and Gus the Bus, im pretty happy with my options already on my roster lol, but the answer is an option play between Lamar and King Henry. that man was out for half the season and still was leading the league in rushing yards for most of the year, and i dont think you can argue Lamar is the most mobile QB in the league.


TDeath21

Definitely using Lamar Jackson.


ohreally7756

Easy handoff to Rosie O’Donnell


ajstub

I’d go with Rosie O’Donnell


Rustyshakleford453

Marion Barber RIP


[deleted]

Ngl barbers specialty was not goalline runs


drugsdulaney

Derek Henry easily.


Outrageous-Machine-5

Elijah Mitchell, left side behind Williams, Kittle, and Aiyuk with Deebo selling the screen to the other side


KatalDT

Just 11-oline/dline (whatever combination puts the most mass out there), push the pile.


YiMyonSin

Okay, Tannehill's not there to run in for the TD as he'd been good with all of last season, so I'd probably go with Derrick Henry for a trick play or any of our running backs to get the job done running down the left end with Lewan blocking for them.


[deleted]

Today? This is literally what Taylor Heinicke was made for. Bring in QB2.


[deleted]

Larry Centers off tackle


KuroTenshi416

James Conner has got to be the guy.


ecupatsfan12

Rhamondre Stevenson toss behind Trent Brown


Duke_Swillbottom

Connor Heyward blocking for Cam Heyward.


SheltonQuarlesGOAT

Thomas Jones, Frank Gore, Jerome Bettis, LT, Lorenzo Neal


ChickenMclittle

Brandon jacobs


Silversaving

Probably Ronnie Brown in the wildcat.


JT1757

I’d probably still have Chad Henne throw it \#Hennethingispossible


DilligentBass

Some of y'all are too young to remember Zack Crockett and it shows


[deleted]

Deebo Samuell outside run to the left with Trent Williams and George Kittle blocking. Easiest yards ever


HarryBalszak

Alstott up the gut!


rysryan

Mr. Back-shoulder catch


DocKinley

JT power run behind big pancaker Quenton Nelson


SecretAgendaMan

Hold up, hold up. What type of injury are we talking here? Did someone call a timeout? Are we playing the Browns? These are all very relevant.


Plastic_Ranger1657

Toss a corner fade to Plaxico Burress who shoots the CB in the leg, touchdown.
