Someone here had a gif of Tavon faking being injured by a semi late hit and when it didn't draw the flag he popped up off the ground like toast from a new toaster.

yeah he sold that and now we just need to send him and Sted back at the same time and have them both act which will make the coverage hesitate

Fact is I'd like to see Sted get some PR's himself ,I think he's got better change of direction anyway and might be a little more elusive even if he isn't as fast

Apparently Sunday was the first of his life.

Because of our recent history, I watched that play thinking the worst. I figured it was a 70 yard punt that was about to bounce off Tavon's helmet into a Shithawk's hands for a TD. What an emotional swing - and what a play! One of the truly great Ram ST highlights of all time. Stedman's right: Tavon sold it, but Sted cashed it in

I think it was one of the best hoodwinks I've ever seen on a sporting field. I absolutely love it.

Mountaineer roommates are partners in crime, in the very best sense of the phrase!

One thing I love about that trick play is that it gets special teams paranoid about Bailey and Austin on the field, especially with inaccurate punters. It should open more space for Austin to run on.
