MEMO TO EVERY COACH RE: Spiking the ball

MEMO TO EVERY COACH RE: Spiking the ball Every team should have a "SPIKE 10" play. When it is called they rush to the line, and look to spike, BUT instead of it, the WR on the right runs a 5 yard out pattern, the one on the left a 10 yard fade. Instead of wasting a down, they would run off 3 more seconds, AND get a play. How hard it is to think of and practice this??

Favre once faked a spike, and threw a TD!

Don Shula did it once with Marino against the Jets for a TD. I think he knew how to coach.

That play used to be on the NFL's highlight clips. A great, great rivalry.
