No Thanks.

Looks like a good idea, except it's too risky. I have a better chance of returning it for a score without the risk of a fumble simply by running with my best return man...

Besides, Hester pitching to Knox seems backwards...

Might come in handy for online team play though... :D

It's certainly legal... it's not crazy silly execution. But it is DANGEROUS. He made the allusion to the risk of fumbles, but he never showed any. Having had to setup a similar lateral situation on a few occasions when trailing late in games. All failed miserably. IMO, it's simply not worth the risk/reward. I've either fumbled the toss or came away with worse field position than if I'd just setup a normal return.

I have more opening kickoff return TD's with normal returns than total return yards as a result of the lateral...

I wouldn't say it's cheese, but it looks that way when you only see the ones that work for a TD. The 15 fumbles he didn't show are the reason it's not cheese. :D

...no that's garbage.

Didnt a rookie on the steelers score a TD on a lateral return this year? Doesnt seem like cheese to me. But just like a random onside kick og hail mary, its a big risk.
