Gibbs takes that kind of gamble maybe once every 3 seasons or so.
Yeah. They did it against G.B in 2004 and were unsuceesful which will put you off of it. They did it to the Giants in 1985 the night Theismann broke his leg. The only other one I can think of was Norv in 2000 against the Rams. A nice call by special teams coach Lecharls McDaniel against the then defending SB champs. Scott Betley? maybe?

Also with Taylor on the long FG: He has a vertical leap of like 39 inches, so he could actually block a FG that would otherwise be good - Ralph Sampson style. This is a play I have long hoped to see.
