Gray, the Gophers' junior quarterback, is in his first season as the team's starter after playing two seasons at wide receiver.
More erroneous information: it wasn't a double reverse flea flicker. It's a common misconception. What most people call a reverse is actually an end-around, and what most people call a double reverse is actually just a reverse. A true double reverse is extremely rare, as it requires three exchanges of the ball, thus taking very long to develop and having a high likelihood of an unforced fumble occurring.
Thank you! One of my true pet peeves with football announcers is when the call an end-around a reverse. I am literally screaming at my TV when that occurs.
i thought i was all alone in this.
when i hear PLAYER and COACHES saying the same thing it hurts. I die a little inside.
Thank you for this!
A pretty poor article. It begins with erroneous information.
His premise that starting Gray this year at QB is an experiment is just wrong. Gray was recruited as a QB and rotated at QB in 2009 as a freshman. He was only converted to a WR for one season, 2010. If anything last year was an experiment as he was removed from his original position.
The rest of the article is a bunch of nothing. Mason offers up the double-reverse flea flicker as evidence he is capable of hitting a receiver downfield. That notion is ridiculous when he's been missing wide open receivers all season out of the normal offense. I don't think a trick play changes anything. I'd like to see consistent passing from Gray out of the normal offensive playbook before making claims to his progress.
