Topic: Bootleg play

	In Football, what is a Bootleg?
		A bootleg play involves the quarterback faking a hand-off to a running back, then moving in the opposite direction for a pass or a run of his own.
		During a bootleg play, however, the quarterback only pretends to hand off to the running back, and the running back draws the defense's attention away from the real ball carrier, the quarterback.
		The bootleg play is just one of a number of trick plays available to the offense during a game.

	Bootleg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bootleg was a term which originally referred to the shank or top part of a boot, the part which is around the leg instead of the foot.
		From the practice of hiding small items in a boot shaft to smuggle them past the authorities, the word became a verb, meaning "to smuggle" and an adjective, describing something that has been smuggled (or, more rarely, stolen).
		Bootleg pants, trousers which flare-out at the bottom of the legs and thus can cover the wearer's shoes.

	Glossary of American football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		an offensive play predicated upon misdirection in which the quarterback pretends to hand the ball to another player, and then carries the ball in the opposite direction of the supposed ballcarrier with the intent of either passing or running (sometimes the quarterback has the option of doing either).
		an offensive play in which a ballcarrier going toward one side of the field hands or tosses the ball to a teammate who is running in the opposite direction (if the second ballcarrier is an end, it is an "end around").
		The play is used when a team needs a very short gain to reach either the goal line or the line to gain.

		As it is, this play would be a run between the tackle and the tight end.
		This play is sometimes referred to as "victory formation", as a team which has the lead and possession of the ball in the final seconds of a game will typically use this play.
		The receiving team may either choose to have the ball re-kicked, or be placed for play 30 yards in advance of the kickoff spot or where the ball went over the sideline, whichever is closer to the opposing team's endzone.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		The original meaning of bootleg in the seventeenth century was a rather boring one: 'the upper part of a boot'.
		In early use, around 1890, this was usually referring to liquor, with "bootleg" as a noun being more-or-less equivalent to moonshine, and as a verb meaning 'to smuggle liquor'.
		Still later senses, such as the bootleg play, which was in use by the 1940s, bring the idea of simple deception to bear.

		This play needs to be ran early in the game and needs to be ran often to keep the defense honest.
		The entire play looks like the Power Play except the FB takes an outside release at the DE and try to log him as the TB cuts back in the hole trying to draw the defenders with him.
		This play does not need to be ran often but it must be ran early so the defense has to add it to their responsibilities.

		That's why playbooks are filled with bootlegs, rollouts, sprintouts, waggles, options, and pins, plays that move the quarterback away from his protective bubble behind the center.
		This play is a variation on Blue 29-Waggle from the playbook of legendary Delaware coach Tubby Raymond; instead of using Raymond's famous Wing-T formation, we'll run it from a two-back, two-tight end set.
		This play is designed to look like a sweep left, and the two tight ends to the left would block to seal the edge if this were an actual sweep.

		I thought the drive at the end of the ball game when our offense took the ball at 4:14 on the clock and put together an 18 play drive and when they got the ball back with nine seconds left, that was a big drive.
		Chris Young plays the Z, and those two guy play the H and the slot.
		He is an awfully tough guy, he is one of the guys on the team that can play with pain.

	tips 151-175
		"Bootleg" is a generic term for a play in which the QB fakes the handoff of a running play that seems to be going in one direction, then sneaks away (like a bootlegger) in the other direction to run or pass.
		They play their two defensive ends outside the tight ends to box all outside runs and the three linebackers play directly behind the three down linemen.
		One is to send out the playside TE on a pass play (he's covered by the wingback, so he is no longer the end man on the line of scrimmage.) That's not necessarily a problem.

	Commentary
		The basic definition of a bootleg is the quarterback intentionally running out of the pocket toward either sideline during a pass play or a pass/run option play, normally with an offensive lineman in the lead.
		There are several variations of the bootleg, but it is most often accompanied by “play-action.” The bootleg, whether accompanied by play-action or not, is intended to confuse the defense by moving the quarterback away from where the defense expects him to be, which is in the pocket in a drop-back setting.
		The bootleg is especially effective against aggressive defenses and defenses with slow defensive ends (or even one slow defensive end, as has been the case with Eric Hicks the past couple of years).

		When you see the final play, Red called it down from the press box, Dean executed it brilliantly and they bit on the bootleg, when the blow back screen came everybody was in shock because no one anticipated the throwback.

		Shotgun: The shotgun is a good play because you're in a shotgun (shocker!) formation which grants you those extra precious seconds to wait for a receiver to get open.
		Since it spoils the otherwise pristine game play of JEQ I wouldn't recommend using the secret play unless you find yourself losing a game by seven or fewer points and your soul is on the line.
		During the course of this game I was sacked twice, averaged 22 yards a play, and had a TD percentage of 39%.

		On the passing play the LG and the FB do the same thing, but the counter fake, the playaction, the RBs part, is to the left.
		Of course, if the playaction run was to the right and the bootleg to the left with a counter fake that would draw the defence to the area you are trying to open up for the QB to bootleg into, which would be even more contradictory.
		You’re right that counter bootleg plays don’t work very well at lower levels of football (high school, maybe college) because you often draw the defense right towards the bootleg.

	Dave Sez: Eleven - 5 - The Bootleg
		The whole point of play action is to freeze both the LBs and safeties and hopefully cause them to lose crucial seconds in establishing their position for pass coverage.
		Because of this, many good play action teams school their O-line to fire out at the snap as if they are run blocking.
		X: On the run play, he should be working on a direct route at the safety, hoping to get a downfield block for his TB if he springs the run.

	washingtonpost.com: Redskins Are Running Into Trouble
		For a short-yardage running play to succeed, everyone on the line must know precisely when the ball will be snapped and explode into the defensive line, creating a crevice for the runner to attack.
		The Redskins ran the same play to the right on third down from the 1 against Dallas and linebacker Dexter Coakley deflected Brunell's pass, which was nearly intercepted.
		While the bootleg will be a staple of the playbook, Gibbs would much prefer to ram the ball over the goal line.

		The bootleg call was suggested to the coaching staff by Hastert early in the second half, and with HCHS pinned back at the 17-yard line, offensive coordinator Mark Kohorst and head coach Curt Bladt gave their young signal caller the go-ahead.
		This was a ploy by Bladt to ensure that the play would be blocked correctly and not revealed too early.
		Both teams were forced to punt after six plays on their next series, setting the stage for Hastert's late heroics.

		The key play in the drive was a 15-yard strike from Moreno to red-shirt freshmen Larry Duncan on third-and-10.
		But on the next play, the Bison flushed Bradshaw out of the pocket, Brian Johnson stripped him of the ball and Mike Sanders recovered it to snuff out the drive and give the Bison the hard-fought victory.
		A combination of some conservative play calling and a questionable fake punt attempt that failed, allowed the Bison to get the ball back at the Bears’ 37-yard with 3:27 still left on the clock.

		9 Without sufficient evidence of the capability of the device to allow playing of bootlegs or the defendants' knowledge of the device being used to play bootlegs, SCEA could not prove as a matter of law that it was likely to prevail on the contributory infringement, based on the bootleg games argument.
		The court, however, held that the consumer's choice to play imported games could not be the directly infringing activity for the contributory infringement claim.
