Mike Patrick was incredibly underrated and Theismann did a really good job playing off him

The Titans brought out Oilers throwbacks in 2009, and ran this same play with A.J. Trapasso as the punter. Was it as a tribute?

Roby actually sometimes wore a wristwatch when he punted. I don’t see it here. That’s the tell.

Mike Patrick and Joe Theismann on the call. The OG play by play team of ESPN NFL games.

So much to like in this clip:
✅ Reggie Roby
✅ Oilers unis
✅ Theisman and Patrick broadcast team

The defender who runs up on him as he fakes he punt doesn’t even see that he didn’t kick it. Watch, he runs to the left to go after the other guy in the backfield, he doesn’t react to there being NO BALL THERE

That punter needs a guardian cap just to make his helmet look normal on him.

I had to rewatch it multiple times to see exactly what happened. That was a smooth play

Looks like a LT filling in as a punter

He's bigger than his blockers and runs like he was programmed by someone telling him how running looks.

Isn’t this the game where the Bengals destroyed the Oilers 61-7 or something like that?

(1) That is a f-ing unit of a punter.
(2) That choreographed fake punt would still work today.
