The alarm bells are out for new ideas for BC on OFF and ST's

Even the TSN commentators mention schemes and play calls with the BC's offence.

Teams like Hamilton with last year's ST coach Jeff Reinbold are running all kinds of trickery on STs and there's been Wildcat OFF play this season in the CFL

What trickery/gadget plays should BC be looking at?

Or like Wally do LBers think they're for losers?

Lions can't execute basic plays, hate to see them botch a trick play. I'm thinking that fake punt the Colts tried against New England that fooled no one and will live forever on Youtube

I have long thought with the reputation of Carter of a trick play that goes like this when near their bench.

1st down Reilly shows frustration that Carter is out of position.

Next play unless they're on the goal line, with the 20 second clock in play Reilly does it again and starts to walk to the sidelines communicating with the HC and OFF coaches.

Carter kind of meanders behind Centre and before the clock expires has the ball snapped to him with John White yelling - just run the ball.

Carter then tosses it either to a WR down one sideline or over to Mike Reilly

OR hands off to White.
