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.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
