When I still used to run the Browns, I was having a lot of problems in a game on kick coverage. It was a high-scoring game, as the ones I played back then tended to be, and I really needed a kick return stop to secure the win.
I got the crazy idea of putting my QB, Tim Couch, on coverage. Sure enough, the other coach's return man blasts through the other 10 defenders by midfield, and has only the somewhat velocity-challenged Couch to beat. And he's doing just that, taking a path about a base width away from Couch and at good speed.
Just as the returner appeared in the clear, Couch hit a rut, a dead spot, a surge ... something ... hopped up into the air, jumped to his right, and hit the returner with a flying elbow to save the TD and the game.
