    For those arguing about the Clayton TD

    Here you go:

    Sweet Play of the Week No. 2: Baltimore ran a flip reverse on which Derrick Mason did a full-speed no-look flip to Michael Clayton, who went 42 yards for the touchdown. (Announcers of course called the play a "double reverse"; the ball only changed direction once.) Ravens coaches might be hesitant to radio in this play again, though. Clayton took the reverse 13 yards behind the line of scrimmage; the play could have backfired in a major way.

    I suppose we're lucky they didn't call him John Clayton or Clayton Manning...LOL

    Gregg Easterbunny is wrong (and not just with Clayton's name). It actually was a double reverse. Flacco started going to the left, it was reversed to the right by mason, then reversed again to the left with clayton. Most so-called double reverses aren't double reverses because the QB just hands off for the "end-around", but Flacco actually started moving left so the initial give to mason was a reverse.

    I really don't care if it was a Reverse, Double Reverse, or the oft talked about but rarely seen Iron Lotus. All I care about is that it was a TOUCHDOWN!!!

    BTW, Clayton Manning... Hilarious, thanks for the laugh!

    It's fun to restart amusing debates.

    I think Easterbrook had a point about the distance behind the LOS, you try that kind of play against a D with some hussle and you're gonna get stopped well behind the line.

    I love me some double reverse, that is not a double reverse, that is indeed... a double reverse.

    Concerning the risk: The Raiders tried a similar play last night and it backfired on the exchange at the back end. Lost 15 yards.

    What Clayton should have been told is, and what the Raiders receiver forgot was, if you are 15 yards behind the LOS and aren't getting anywhere, throw the ball away.

    His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

    Ive wondered this for years...on a reverse or handoff behind the line of scrimmage going no where, throw the ball out of bounds....no loss. this is of course barring you are out of the pocket but after a handoff can you still get called for intentional grounding?
