After watching Ben Roethlisberger pump fake the Titans into submission Shaun Hill should pump fake the sh*t out of football against the Carnales. Shaun Hill should and will use a lot of Pump Fakes. He will have the safeties, corners and Arizona coaches biting on all Pump Fakes.

You may laugh, but you watch.

As long as he can hold onto the ball while doing the pump fake.

Lets ask Rich Gannon how the pump fake had worked for him in the SB against Tampa. Did it all year then got owned against Tampa. Pull it out of the bag occasionally but can't live on it.

In general... he has time for one pump whether he releases it or not before he's on his back. Here's hoping that changes this year.

Why not ask Ben how it worked in the Superbowl against the Cards. Did it his whole career and has won two superbowls. Gannon got owned by tampa because Gruden and the D knew the plays. Anyway i dont think hill has enough time to pump fake before he gets sacked.

You are all assuming we will be passing the ball, if we do it will only be on 3rd downs

When Alex pump faked, many of his critics howled that it was a sign that he was indecisive.

Hill's pump fakes increase the circulation in his arm before he really passes. That's how he maximizes his muscle power and why his passes have such tremendous velocity.

The pumpfake works if you are throwing the ball downfield and not just dropping it off to a back or throwing a 5 yard timing pass.

Exactly. The Bucs defense pretty much knew what was coming on every play.
