Redskins Try “Swinging Gate” Fake Kickoff, Fails Miserably Of Course

If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. Shortly after the botched fake field goal attempt against the Giants on Monday night to end the first half, Jim Zorn decided to start the second half with a fake kickoff. He shifted all of his players to the left to what looked like an onside kick formation. Unfortunately for the Redskins, the kicker also shifted and they had nobody to kick the ball. The Redskins were eventually called for a delay of game.

“It was a good play call, we just didn’t execute it properly” said Redskins Intern Jim Zorn. “The play was unique enough that I thought it would force the Giants to waste a valuable 2nd half timeout in a complete blowout, but they smelled it out quickly and played great defense.”

Jim Zorn has been fined $5,000 by the NFL for the play, due to being a complete idiot. Zorn is planning to send a check to the commissioner, although there are rumors that he will fake sending it in and just call up to give his credit card number once the NFL figures out his great strategy.
