Rate El Presidente's Powder Puff Trick Play

In an earlier post Jamie Chisholm said that if the Stool ever folds he could envision me becoming a professional powder puff coach.     Truer words have never been spoken.  It’s a known fact that I am the greatest Powder Puff coach of all time. Under my tutelage we scored the most points, had the most passing yards and the biggest margin of victory in history of the sport.   The only bad part was that the game got out of hand so fast that I couldn’t use lots of the trick plays I had developed.  (The refs said they’d call a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct and kick me out if I used any of them in the 2nd half)   

Therefore in many respects my trick plays went to waste.  And I’ve never told anybody about my best trick play until today because I wanted to keep it under wraps just in case I somehow found myself at the helm of another power puff team.   Sadly I don’t think that’s ever going to happen so after 12 years of silence it’s time to reveal my brainchild.

In a nutshell this is what it was.   I had all the girls line up in a normal formation.    The center snaps the ball to the QB and nobody moves.   Everybody just sits there like nothing is happening except the QB is now holding the ball under center.  Next my wing back raises her hand and makes a commotion like she doesn’t know where she is supposed to line up.   Basically she acts all confused and stuff until she finally walks toward the QB to ask her a question.   The QB turns around and walks toward the wing back and they meet for a discussion with their backs towards the line of scrimmage.   The QB puts her arm around the wing back and hands the ball to her and then walks back under center.    The Wing Back walks towards the sideline like she is splitting out as a WR.   Still nobody else on the offense is moving.  Then the QB lines up under center and starts calling out signals again.  Meanwhile the wing back just takes off downfield and scampers 80 yards for a TD and nobody even knows what the hell happened.  

I know, I know.  It’s freaking brilliant right!    There is 0% chance this doesn’t work.  The whole premise of this play was built upon the belief that girls don’t really watch the ball on defense.  They wait for the players in front of them to move and then they move.  And if by chance there was one cocky wise ass chick on defense who did watch the ball and happened to come across the line of scrimmage my offensive line was instructed to point at them and yell that they were offsides.    There is no way a chick would have been able to overcome this peer pressure.  

And yes we did run this play in a scrimmage for a TD.   I even told our defensive coordinator that it was coming and he preached all practice long to watch the ball to his defense.  But it didn’t help.   I’m telling you it is impossible to stop.  It’s my greatest invention of all time and that includes Barstool Sports.

So even though I already know the answer is a 10, I'm asking the Stoolies to rate my trick play.
