Football Playslateral - answerAlso called a backward pass, pitch, or pitch-out. A ball that leaves a
player's hand and moves parallel to or away from the opponent's goal line.
pocket - answerThe protected area around a quarterback established by the offensive
line in order to give him adequate time and sight lines in order to complete a pass.
gap - answerA space between blockers. Defenders can shoot the gap.
pull - answerWhen a member of the offensive line takes a step back from his usual
place in a line and moves laterally in order to block somewhere else. Pulling can be
done on pass and run plays.
lead block - answerA situation where one player precedes the ball carrier along his
intended path in order to clear any defensive players that have not already been
blocked.
Trap - answerIn a trap, a guard on the back side of the play will pull and lead block for
the running back Often, the full-back will take the place of the guard, and block the
opening allowed by this.
pass block - answerA passive type of blocking, where the player steps backward to
establish a pocket around the quarterback to give the quarterback a chance to pass.
run block - answerAn active type of blocking, where the player steps forward in an
attempt to push a defensive player out of the path of the ball carrier.
Off tackle - answerthis is typically the most common run play. Rather than aiming for a
hole in the line, the running back aims for the spot just outside the tackle. This type of
play allows for more improvisation by the running back once he is past the line, since
there is often more open field in this area than in any run up the middle.
Sweep - answerIn a sweep play, the fullback begins by running towards the sideline
before heading forward. This motion allows for some of the offensive linemen, often one
or both guards, to pull from their normal positions and establish a lane for the running
back to run through. A lead blocking fullback often leads him through the lane.
Toss - answerIn a toss play, the RB "curves out" towards the sideline on either side and
the QB pitches ("tosses") the ball to the RB.
