Watch Out For Trick Plays

New England brings plenty of challenges for any team, but the use of trick plays adds to their postseason mystique. Bill Belichick is a no-nonsense, business-as-usual coach, but during the postseason he loves to reach deep into his playbook to catch teams off guard.

Expect the unexpected at any time, any point, during this Super Bowl. Belichick believes in a team full of versatile players who can be plugged into practically any position when needed.

Flea-flickers, halfback options, double-reverses and fakes in the kicking game will all be on the table from the Patriots in this Super Bowl. Nothing should be ruled out, and the Pats have the personnel to pull any and all of those plays off.

The Atlanta coaching staff will need to be extra vigilant about identifying New England personnel on the field that could point to a trick play. One slip on some Belichick trickeration could be the difference in the final score.
