I still don't like that decision. I'm of the mindset if you need 10 yards, you run an 11 yard route. But then again, i'm not getting paid to make the calls.

that's what you're supposed to do.

it was a gamble on a gimmick play. either way it's not shit you should be pulling when you're trying to win a close game against the favorite in the nfc.

The hook and lateral or hook and ladder is a trick play in American or Canadian football.

Dumbass.

>The "hook and lateral" is sometimes referred to as a "hook and ladder," which is a topic of considerable debate among football fans and analysts. Although the terms are used interchangeably by some, others believe this is not technically accurate. "Hook and lateral" may actually be a newer, more descriptive term for the play. However, since it is so commonly referred to as the "hook and ladder", perhaps this is actually an equally correct term for the play.

>One well known iteration of the play came in the aforementioned 1981 AFC playoff game, when the Dolphins surprised the Chargers and sent the Orange Bowl crowd into a frenzy.

>“We called it 87 Circle Curl Lateral,” says Don Strock, the quarterback for the Dolphins that night (notice the name of their play didn't even include the word "hook"). “And, believe me, the damn thing never worked in practice.”

>In current culture, the play is referred to as the "hook and ladder" on the cover of EA Sports NCAA Football 2008, possibly because the term has been used commonly by sportscasters, coaches and fans for years.

ITT: retards.

It's called the fucking hook and ladder because that's what people use when they are stuck in mines/on a mountain/etc. to pull themselves out of a hole. Similarly, when you're down a touchdown with 5 seconds left, you're in a pretty deep hole. And what do you need to climb out of a hole? A hook and a fucking ladder. Eat shit, newfags.

Is hook & lateral vs. hook & ladder the new football vs. soccer?

>On the January 2, 2007 broadcast of ESPN's Around the Horn, sportswriter Woody Paige claimed, perhaps facetiously, that the name "hook and ladder" originated with NYC Firemen Football Team in Hell's Kitchen, New York. This was in response to the other panelists ridiculing his use of "hook and ladder" rather than "hook and lateral." The next day, Jay Mariotti claimed the phrase "hook and ladder" referred to coal mining in Pennsylvania in the 1930s — his research claims that coal miners need a hook and ladder when trapped in a mine.
