Terminology clarification


KSpan

Recommended Posts

When Armanti (or Moore, or Clausen, or Peyton Manning, or whoever), hands off to a WR coming around it is an end-around, not a reverse. A reverse requires 2 hands offs, meaning that the ball is reversing field. A running back, running one way, handing off to a WR, running the other way, is a reverse, not a double reverse. A double-reverse requires 3 hand-offs, thus reversing field twice, or "double".

Had to say it. Carry on.

Well, that terminology is correct for a QB who stays centered and hands off to the "end-around" receiver, usually after faking a hand off to the running back. However in Armanti's case, he was bootlegging out in a QB sweep/option run pattern and then handed off to the person coming back across the field, thus reversing the direction of the play. So for all intents and purposes, it is a reverse.

Good call - I'll agree with that. Most of the time, however, the QB is stationary when handing off to the receiver. Not a reverse.
