Обманная игра, также известная как игра с подвохом, игра-трюк или трюкачество, – это комбинация в американском футболе, использующая обман и нестандартную тактику для введения в заблуждение команды соперника. Обманная игра часто рискованна, предлагая потенциал для значительного продвижения или тачдауна в случае успеха, но и сопряжена с риском существенной потери ярдов или потери владения мячом в случае неудачи. Обманные игры используются редко не только из-за рискованности, но и для сохранения элемента неожиданности при их применении. Обманные игры используют ожидания защиты и общепринятые принципы, набор базовых правил, которым придерживаются большинство нападений. Большинство нападений следуют базовому набору правил: после ввода мяча в игру квотербеку, оно редко переходит в руки более одного раза – передачей или подачей бегущему, либо пасом вперед, и игроки с лучшими навыками для выполнения этих действий и будут их осуществлять. Например, квотербек, как правило, лучший пасующий на поле в большинстве ситуаций и, следовательно, на него возлагается основная часть пасов вперед; аналогично, в современную эпоху, от специалистов по ударам редко требуется что-либо, кроме ударов по мячу. Типичная схема игры в американский футбол основана на простых, относительно безопасных комбинациях с высокой вероятностью набора ярдов и низкой вероятностью катастрофических последствий (потери владения, потери ярдов или, в худшем случае, набора очков соперником). Обманные игры отказываются от этих принципов: они могут легко использовать слабость защиты, если она не была предвидена, но если трюк раскрыт, его легко предотвратить, а риск катастрофических последствий значительно возрастает.
A trick play, also known as a gadget play, gimmick play or trickeration, is a play in gridiron football that uses deception and unorthodox tactics to fool the opposing team. A trick play is often risky, offering the potential for a large gain or a touchdown if it is successful, but with the chance of a significant loss of yards or a turnover if not. Trick plays are rarely used not only because of the riskiness, but also to maintain the element of surprise for when they are used. Trick plays take advantage of defenses' expectations and conventional wisdom, the set of basic principles to which most offenses adhere. Most offenses follow a basic set of conventions in that once the ball is snapped to the quarterback, it seldom changes hands more than once: a hand off or pitch to a running back, or a forward pass, and the players with the best skill sets for those particular plays are the ones that will execute them. For example, the quarterback is by far the best thrower on the field in most situations and would thus be relied upon for the vast majority of forward passes; likewise, kickers are, in the modern era, seldom relied upon for anything other than kicking. The typical American football playbook relies on simple, relatively low risk plays with high odds of gaining yardage and low odds of catastrophe (a turnover, loss of yardage or, in the worst case scenario, the other team scoring points). Trick plays eschew these principles: trick plays can easily exploit a defensive weakness if it is not foreseen, but if the trick is foreseen, it can be easily foiled, and the risk of catastrophe is much higher.
Предыстория
В большинстве традиционных форм американского футбола квотербек получает мяч во время снэпа и затем либо бросает его, либо передает другому игроку. Этот игрок, "принимающий", пытается продвинуть мяч вперед за линию схватки. Если это удается, линия продвигается вперед до этой точки, и процесс продолжается через серию "игр", в конечном итоге (в идеале) приводя к тачдауну. Из-за множества взаимодействующих правил, наступательные розыгрыши обычно делятся на две отчетливые группы. Розыгрыши, в которых (запланированный) источник набора ярдов – это пас квотербека вперед, называются "пассовыми розыгрышами", а те, в которых набор ярдов достигается за счет бега игрока с мячом – "выносными розыгрышами". Правила, определяющие, какие игроки имеют право принимать пас, приводят к разделению атакующей команды на группы: гарды защищают квотербека, вайды и тайт-энды располагаются на линии, чтобы бежать вперед для приема передач, а раннинбеки – позади линии, чтобы принять мяч с рук и затем продолжить бег вперед. Защитная команда не знает, какой тип розыгрыша будет развиваться. Чтобы противостоять распространенным розыгрышам, их линия также разделяется примерно так же, как и атака: дефенсивный тэкл впереди сдерживает линию и одновременно пытается создать угрозу для квотербека, дефенсивные бэки располагаются за линией для защиты от пассовых розыгрышей, а лайнбекеры – для противодействия выносу. Как только розыгрыш начинается, защитники, как правило, направляются к месту действия, препятствуя продвижению выноса или блокируя пас. Эта приверженность выбранному направлению обычно безопасна: в течение розыгрыша разрешен только один пас вперед, поэтому как только мяч брошен, раннинбеки выбывают из игры, и все защитники могут попытаться заблокировать принимающего. Хотя любой может бросить мяч вперед, это настолько специализированный навык, что как только квотербек отдал мяч раннинбеку или сделал ему передачу, возможность паса вперед обычно исключается. "Трюковые розыгрыши" направлены на то, чтобы заставить защиту сосредоточиться на одном розыгрыше, чтобы оставить ее в невыгодном положении для розыгрыша, который на самом деле будет разыгран. Простой пример – розыгрыш "энд-эраунд", когда один из принимающих, имеющих право на участие, бежит параллельно линии схватки (см. "игрок в движении"), принимает мяч от квотербека с рук или боковым броском, а затем начинает вынос. Поскольку обычно ожидается, что принимающий побежит по полю, чтобы поймать пас вперед, дефенсивный бэк, отвечающий за его прикрытие, начинает движение в противоположном направлении, отстоя на некотором расстоянии позади линии. Если бэк не смещается в сторону, чтобы соответствовать движению принимающего, тот может оказаться без опеки на противоположной стороне линии, когда розыгрыш развернется. Более рискованные трюковые розыгрыши обычно сочетают в себе несколько пасов или передач с рук, а не один розыгрыш. В розыгрыше "Фли Фликер" мяч передается с рук или боковым броском игроку, что выглядит как вынос. Затем игрок передает мяч обратно квотербеку, который бросает его принимающим. При правильном тайминге защитная команда начнет реагировать на вынос, двигаясь вперед, оставляя принимающих открытыми. Однако, точно рассчитать время розыгрыша сложно, и при двух боковых передачах и пасе вперед шансы на ошибку велики. Неудача приведет к тому, что мяч окажется позади линии схватки, что почти наверняка приведет к потере ярдов. Этот розыгрыш также требует, чтобы все пасы, предшествующие финальному пасу квотербека, были либо параллельны линии схватки, либо назад, поскольку разрешен только один пас вперед за розыгрыш. Множественные пасы вперед приведут к штрафу.
In most conventional forms of American football, the quarterback receives the ball during the snap and then either throws it or hands it off to another player. That player, the "receiver", attempts to move the ball forward past the line of scrimmage. If they are successful, the line moves forward to that point and the process continues through a series of "plays", eventually (ideally) to a touchdown. Due to a variety of interacting rules, offensive plays generally fall into two distinct groups. Plays where the (planned) source of gains are through the quarterback throwing the ball forward are known as "passing plays", while those where the gains are due to the player running with the ball are "rushing plays". Rules governing which players are eligible to receive a pass results in the offensive team being split into groups; the guards protect the quarterback, wide receivers and tight ends are positioned at the line to run forward to receive passes, and the backs are positioned behind the line to receive the ball in a hand off and then continue running forward for a rush. The defensive team is not privy to which type of play will develop. To protect against common plays, their line ends up divided up much the same way as the offense, with the defensive tackle at the front both holding the line as well as attempting to threaten the quarterback, the defensive backs positioned behind the line to protect against pass plays, and the linebackers positioned to counter a rush. Once the play starts, the defensive players tend to collapse towards the action, preventing forward motion of the rush, or blocking a pass. This commitment to a course of action is typically safe; there is only one forward pass allowed per play, so once the ball is passed the rushers are out of the action and all the defenders can attempt to block the receiver, and while anyone can throw the ball forward, doing so is so specialized that once the quarterback hands off the ball or tosses to a runner, the possibility of a forward pass is generally eliminated. Trick plays attempt to cause the defense to commit to a play in order to leave them badly out of position for the play that actually develops. A simple example is the end around play, where one of the eligible receivers runs parallel to the line of scrimmage (see man in motion), takes the ball from the quarterback in a handoff or lateral toss, and then starts a rush. As the receiver would normally be expected to run down the field in order to catch a forward pass, the defensive back assigned to cover that motion starts opposite him some distance behind the line. If the back does not move laterally to match the motion of the receiver, the receiver may find themselves unopposed on the opposite side of the line once the play develops. More dangerous trick plays normally combine multiple passes or hand offs than a single play. In the Flea Flicker, the ball is handed off or laterally passed to a player in what appears to be a rush play. The player then passes the ball back to the quarterback, who throws it to the receivers. Properly timed, the defensive team will have started responding to the rush by moving forward, leaving the receivers wide open. However, timing the play is difficult, and with two lateral passes and a forward throw, the chances for error are great. A failure leaves the ball behind the line of scrimmage in what will almost certainly be a loss of yards. The play also requires all passes prior to the final one thrown by the quarterback to be either parallel to the line of scrimmage or backwards, since only one forward pass is allowed per play. Multiple forward passes will result in a penalty.
Обычные трюки
Обычные обманные комбинации стремятся вывести защиту из равновесия, начав развитие атаки в одном направлении, а затем завершив его в другом. Поначалу они часто выглядят как стандартные розыгрыши. Здесь нет настоящего "трюка" в плане дезинформации, защита просто реагирует, не учитывая возможности смены направления движения игрока с мячом в процессе розыгрыша. Некоторые из этих комбинаций настолько распространены, что не воспринимаются как обманные, а являются обычной частью схемы игры в американский футбол.
Common trick plays attempt to place the defense out of position by starting action in one direction, then completing it in another. They often appear to be a conventional play at first. There is no real "trick" being played in terms of deception, the defense simply reacts without considering the possibility of the ball carrier changing mid play. Some of these plays are so common as to not be recognized as trick plays, instead being a regular part of the American football playbook. Play Action Pass One of the most common forms of deception is the use of a play action pass, commonly referred to as a "play fake". In this type of play, after the snap the quarterback appears to hand the ball to the halfback, who will then simulate running with the ball. Still in possession of the ball, the quarterback will then attempt to complete a pass play. A play action pass can be effective in bringing linebackers and even defensive backs up close to the line of scrimmage in hopes of stopping a run, leaving receivers with more room to run routes and catch the ensuing pass. Draws A draw is, in essence, the opposite of a play action pass and can be as common. After the snap, the quarterback simulates the action of a pass, including dropping back and looking down field for the receivers. The quarterback will then hand the ball off to a running back or keep the ball himself and rush forward. A draw play attempts to fool the defense into dropping back into pass coverage, putting them out of position to cover the eventual rushing play. End arounds In an end around play, a wide receiver or split end runs laterally behind the line of scrimmage, takes a handoff from the quarterback, and continues around the opposite end of the line. As a regular part of the playbook, an end around with a proper lead blocker such as an H back or fullback can get positive yardage without relying on trickery. Because the defense normally expects the wide receivers to run a downfield pass pattern, an end around that catches the defenders by surprise can result in a big gain. Reverse A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end around. In a reverse, a ball carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the double reverse (which involves a second flow reversing handoff), exceedingly rare triple reverses involving even more handoffs, the fake reverse described below, and the reverse flea flicker. Double pass A double pass is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand offs. (Football rules limit an offense to one forward pass on any given play. No such restriction exists with lateral passes.) Halfback pass (See also Halfback option play.) In this play the quarterback pitches the ball to a halfback as if it were an outside run, but instead of running up the field the halfback looks for an open receiver to pass the ball to. Teams that have a player who is both a skilled runner and passer use this play more often. NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson are notable examples, each having scored multiple rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns on halfback option plays during their careers. Wide receiver pass / fake reverse Similar to the halfback pass, the ball is given to a wide receiver on an end around or reverse, but instead of turning upfield he looks for a passing target (which in some situations might include the quarterback, who has run a pass pattern after the handoff.) Like the halfback pass, this play often utilizes a multi skilled player; Antwaan Randle El is a wide receiver who played quarterback in college and is known for his ability to pass, throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, another wide receiver who also played as a quarterback in college, during Super Bowl XL. This play was used famously in a 2015 NFL Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens when Julian Edelman threw a 51 yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. Flea Flicker In a conventional Flea Flicker, the ball is handed or tossed to a player to begin what appears to be a typical rush. The rusher pitches it back to the quarterback just before crossing the line of scrimmage. The quarterback can then attempt a conventional pass play. Other versions of this play are the reverse flea flicker and the double pass flea flicker. Reverse Flea Flicker As the name implies, this is a combination of a reverse and a flea flicker. After one or more reverse handoffs, the ball is lateraled back to the quarterback, who looks for an open receiver downfield. As with all flea flickers, the play is designed to trick the defensive backs into coming upfield prematurely to defend what they believe to be a rushing play. A variant is to have one of the recipients of the handoffs throw the ball himself; if the passer runs in an arc deep enough into the backfield and the reverse forestalls the pass rush, it provides plenty of time for the passer to make a proper read, unlike the normal flea flicker. Throwback Flea Flicker This is a combination between a double pass play and a flea flicker. A typical fleaflicker involves a handoff to a running back who then underhand pitches the ball back to the quarterback, but in this version, the player who takes the handoff gets outside and throws a backward pass to the quarterback, who then throws a forward pass. As with all flea flickers, it’s designed to draw defenders to the line to defend the run, but in this version, the defense is drawn to the outside, where the ball is thrown to the other side. Dual Quarterbacks The offense brings two quarterbacks onto the field for a play. This is typically utilized when a team's second or third string quarterback has dual threat ability, confusing the defense as to how the play will develop, and who will be passing the ball. Teams may keep one of the quarterbacks far wide as a receiver and throw a screen pass to him on a Double Pass play, where he then throws deep downfield or across the field to the scrambling quarterback. An early use of two quarterbacks was pioneered by the San Francisco 49ers, who in the late 1950s had certain sets where both Y. A. Tittle and John Brodie were on the field at the same time. Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselbeck were used in this package by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. In Week 8 of the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens lined up Troy Smith at halfback next to Joe Flacco in the shotgun. Flacco handed the ball off to Smith, who rolled to the right, and then lobbed the pass back down the sideline to a sprinting Flacco for a gain of 43 yards. A variant of this is to send two quarterbacks onto the field, then place one in a wide receiver position near the sideline nearest the team bench to make it appear as if the second quarterback is coming off the field. In Week 3 of the 2014 season, the Cleveland Browns executed a version of the play where they switched out quarterback Johnny Manziel for Brian Hoyer. Manziel walked over to the sideline, appearing as if he was talking with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. However, Manziel was lined up on the field, off the line of scrimmage. Hoyer snapped the ball, which prompted Shanahan to signal Manziel to run his route. The pass was completed for a 47 yard gain to a wide open Manziel, but was called back for an illegal shift by running back Terrance West. The use of dual quarterbacks in this manner has unusual statistical side effects; the 2015 NFL season saw Matt Cassel officially considered the Buffalo Bills' opening day starting quarterback because their first offensive play was a two quarterback trick play with usual starter Tyrod Taylor as wide receiver. Cassel never played another down for the Bills. Hook and lateral Also known as a "hook and ladder", the hook and lateral play involves a lateral pass after a completed forward pass. The most common variant of this play involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass, then immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing route. Sometimes known as a "circus". The Miami Dolphins ran this play against the San Diego Chargers in the 1981 AFC playoffs. On the last play of the first half, quarterback Don Strock threw a short pass to wide receiver Duriel Harris, who had gone downfield a few steps ahead of running back Tony Nathan. As Harris caught the ball, he stopped, facing back upfield, and then lateraled to Nathan as he ran by. Nathan took the lateral and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.

Один из самых распространенных видов обмана – это пас с имитацией выноса, часто называемый "фейком". В этом розыгрыше, после снэпа, квотербек делает вид, что передает мяч раннинбеку, который, в свою очередь, имитирует бег с мячом. Квотербек, по-прежнему владеющий мячом, затем пытается выполнить пас. Пас с имитацией выноса может быть эффективен, заставляя лайнбекеров и даже дефбэков приближаться к линии схватки в надежде остановить вынос, тем самым освобождая пространство для ресиверов и позволяя им выполнять маршруты и принимать пас.

An early use of two quarterbacks was pioneered by the San Francisco 49ers, who in the late 1950s had certain sets where both Y. A. Tittle and John Brodie were on the field at the same time. Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselbeck were used in this package by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. In Week 8 of the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens lined up Troy Smith at halfback next to Joe Flacco in the shotgun. Flacco handed the ball off to Smith, who rolled to the right, and then lobbed the pass back down the sideline to a sprinting Flacco for a gain of 43 yards. A variant of this is to send two quarterbacks onto the field, then place one in a wide receiver position near the sideline nearest the team bench to make it appear as if the second quarterback is coming off the field. In Week 3 of the 2014 season, the Cleveland Browns executed a version of the play where they switched out quarterback Johnny Manziel for Brian Hoyer. Manziel walked over to the sideline, appearing as if he was talking with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. However, Manziel was lined up on the field, off the line of scrimmage. Hoyer snapped the ball, which prompted Shanahan to signal Manziel to run his route. The pass was completed for a 47 yard gain to a wide open Manziel, but was called back for an illegal shift by running back Terrance West. The use of dual quarterbacks in this manner has unusual statistical side effects; the 2015 NFL season saw Matt Cassel officially considered the Buffalo Bills' opening day starting quarterback because their first offensive play was a two quarterback trick play with usual starter Tyrod Taylor as wide receiver. Cassel never played another down for the Bills. Hook and lateral Also known as a "hook and ladder", the hook and lateral play involves a lateral pass after a completed forward pass. The most common variant of this play involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass, then immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing route. Sometimes known as a "circus". The Miami Dolphins ran this play against the San Diego Chargers in the 1981 AFC playoffs. On the last play of the first half, quarterback Don Strock threw a short pass to wide receiver Duriel Harris, who had gone downfield a few steps ahead of running back Tony Nathan. As Harris caught the ball, he stopped, facing back upfield, and then lateraled to Nathan as he ran by. Nathan took the lateral and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.
**Вынос с имитацией паса (Draw)**
Common trick plays attempt to place the defense out of position by starting action in one direction, then completing it in another. They often appear to be a conventional play at first. There is no real "trick" being played in terms of deception, the defense simply reacts without considering the possibility of the ball carrier changing mid play. Some of these plays are so common as to not be recognized as trick plays, instead being a regular part of the American football playbook. Play Action Pass One of the most common forms of deception is the use of a play action pass, commonly referred to as a "play fake". In this type of play, after the snap the quarterback appears to hand the ball to the halfback, who will then simulate running with the ball. Still in possession of the ball, the quarterback will then attempt to complete a pass play. A play action pass can be effective in bringing linebackers and even defensive backs up close to the line of scrimmage in hopes of stopping a run, leaving receivers with more room to run routes and catch the ensuing pass. Draws A draw is, in essence, the opposite of a play action pass and can be as common. After the snap, the quarterback simulates the action of a pass, including dropping back and looking down field for the receivers. The quarterback will then hand the ball off to a running back or keep the ball himself and rush forward. A draw play attempts to fool the defense into dropping back into pass coverage, putting them out of position to cover the eventual rushing play. End arounds In an end around play, a wide receiver or split end runs laterally behind the line of scrimmage, takes a handoff from the quarterback, and continues around the opposite end of the line. As a regular part of the playbook, an end around with a proper lead blocker such as an H back or fullback can get positive yardage without relying on trickery. Because the defense normally expects the wide receivers to run a downfield pass pattern, an end around that catches the defenders by surprise can result in a big gain. Reverse A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end around. In a reverse, a ball carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the double reverse (which involves a second flow reversing handoff), exceedingly rare triple reverses involving even more handoffs, the fake reverse described below, and the reverse flea flicker. Double pass A double pass is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand offs. (Football rules limit an offense to one forward pass on any given play. No such restriction exists with lateral passes.) Halfback pass (See also Halfback option play.) In this play the quarterback pitches the ball to a halfback as if it were an outside run, but instead of running up the field the halfback looks for an open receiver to pass the ball to. Teams that have a player who is both a skilled runner and passer use this play more often. NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson are notable examples, each having scored multiple rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns on halfback option plays during their careers. Wide receiver pass / fake reverse Similar to the halfback pass, the ball is given to a wide receiver on an end around or reverse, but instead of turning upfield he looks for a passing target (which in some situations might include the quarterback, who has run a pass pattern after the handoff.) Like the halfback pass, this play often utilizes a multi skilled player; Antwaan Randle El is a wide receiver who played quarterback in college and is known for his ability to pass, throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, another wide receiver who also played as a quarterback in college, during Super Bowl XL. This play was used famously in a 2015 NFL Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens when Julian Edelman threw a 51 yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. Flea Flicker In a conventional Flea Flicker, the ball is handed or tossed to a player to begin what appears to be a typical rush. The rusher pitches it back to the quarterback just before crossing the line of scrimmage. The quarterback can then attempt a conventional pass play. Other versions of this play are the reverse flea flicker and the double pass flea flicker. Reverse Flea Flicker As the name implies, this is a combination of a reverse and a flea flicker. After one or more reverse handoffs, the ball is lateraled back to the quarterback, who looks for an open receiver downfield. As with all flea flickers, the play is designed to trick the defensive backs into coming upfield prematurely to defend what they believe to be a rushing play. A variant is to have one of the recipients of the handoffs throw the ball himself; if the passer runs in an arc deep enough into the backfield and the reverse forestalls the pass rush, it provides plenty of time for the passer to make a proper read, unlike the normal flea flicker. Throwback Flea Flicker This is a combination between a double pass play and a flea flicker. A typical fleaflicker involves a handoff to a running back who then underhand pitches the ball back to the quarterback, but in this version, the player who takes the handoff gets outside and throws a backward pass to the quarterback, who then throws a forward pass. As with all flea flickers, it’s designed to draw defenders to the line to defend the run, but in this version, the defense is drawn to the outside, where the ball is thrown to the other side. Dual Quarterbacks The offense brings two quarterbacks onto the field for a play. This is typically utilized when a team's second or third string quarterback has dual threat ability, confusing the defense as to how the play will develop, and who will be passing the ball.

Вынос с имитацией паса, по сути, является противоположностью паса с имитацией выноса и может быть столь же распространенным. После снэпа квотербек имитирует действия, предшествующие пасу, включая отход назад и поиск ресиверов. Затем квотербек передает мяч раннинбеку или сам вырывается вперед. Цель выноса с имитацией паса – обмануть защиту, заставив ее отойти в зону пасовой защиты, что выводит защитников из позиции для противодействия выносу.

В розыгрыше "обход края" вайд-ресивер или сплит-энд бежит вбок за линией схватки, принимает передачу от квотербека и продолжает движение вокруг противоположного края линии. Как часть стандартной схемы игры, обход края с блокирующим игроком, таким как H-бэк или фуллбэк, может принести положительный результат без использования обмана. Поскольку защита обычно ожидает, что вайд-ресиверы будут выполнять маршруты для паса, обход края, заставший защитников врасплох, может привести к значительному продвижению.

Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselbeck were used in this package by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. In Week 8 of the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens lined up Troy Smith at halfback next to Joe Flacco in the shotgun. Flacco handed the ball off to Smith, who rolled to the right, and then lobbed the pass back down the sideline to a sprinting Flacco for a gain of 43 yards. A variant of this is to send two quarterbacks onto the field, then place one in a wide receiver position near the sideline nearest the team bench to make it appear as if the second quarterback is coming off the field. In Week 3 of the 2014 season, the Cleveland Browns executed a version of the play where they switched out quarterback Johnny Manziel for Brian Hoyer. Manziel walked over to the sideline, appearing as if he was talking with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. However, Manziel was lined up on the field, off the line of scrimmage. Hoyer snapped the ball, which prompted Shanahan to signal Manziel to run his route. The pass was completed for a 47 yard gain to a wide open Manziel, but was called back for an illegal shift by running back Terrance West. The use of dual quarterbacks in this manner has unusual statistical side effects; the 2015 NFL season saw Matt Cassel officially considered the Buffalo Bills' opening day starting quarterback because their first offensive play was a two quarterback trick play with usual starter Tyrod Taylor as wide receiver. Cassel never played another down for the Bills. Hook and lateral Also known as a "hook and ladder", the hook and lateral play involves a lateral pass after a completed forward pass. The most common variant of this play involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass, then immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing route. Sometimes known as a "circus". The Miami Dolphins ran this play against the San Diego Chargers in the 1981 AFC playoffs. On the last play of the first half, quarterback Don Strock threw a short pass to wide receiver Duriel Harris, who had gone downfield a few steps ahead of running back Tony Nathan. As Harris caught the ball, he stopped, facing back upfield, and then lateraled to Nathan as he ran by. Nathan took the lateral and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.
**Реверс (Reverse)**
Common trick plays attempt to place the defense out of position by starting action in one direction, then completing it in another. They often appear to be a conventional play at first. There is no real "trick" being played in terms of deception, the defense simply reacts without considering the possibility of the ball carrier changing mid play. Some of these plays are so common as to not be recognized as trick plays, instead being a regular part of the American football playbook. Play Action Pass One of the most common forms of deception is the use of a play action pass, commonly referred to as a "play fake". In this type of play, after the snap the quarterback appears to hand the ball to the halfback, who will then simulate running with the ball. Still in possession of the ball, the quarterback will then attempt to complete a pass play. A play action pass can be effective in bringing linebackers and even defensive backs up close to the line of scrimmage in hopes of stopping a run, leaving receivers with more room to run routes and catch the ensuing pass. Draws A draw is, in essence, the opposite of a play action pass and can be as common. After the snap, the quarterback simulates the action of a pass, including dropping back and looking down field for the receivers. The quarterback will then hand the ball off to a running back or keep the ball himself and rush forward. A draw play attempts to fool the defense into dropping back into pass coverage, putting them out of position to cover the eventual rushing play. End arounds In an end around play, a wide receiver or split end runs laterally behind the line of scrimmage, takes a handoff from the quarterback, and continues around the opposite end of the line. As a regular part of the playbook, an end around with a proper lead blocker such as an H back or fullback can get positive yardage without relying on trickery. Because the defense normally expects the wide receivers to run a downfield pass pattern, an end around that catches the defenders by surprise can result in a big gain. Reverse A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end around. In a reverse, a ball carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the double reverse (which involves a second flow reversing handoff), exceedingly rare triple reverses involving even more handoffs, the fake reverse described below, and the reverse flea flicker. Double pass A double pass is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand offs. (Football rules limit an offense to one forward pass on any given play. No such restriction exists with lateral passes.) Halfback pass (See also Halfback option play.) In this play the quarterback pitches the ball to a halfback as if it were an outside run, but instead of running up the field the halfback looks for an open receiver to pass the ball to. Teams that have a player who is both a skilled runner and passer use this play more often. NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson are notable examples, each having scored multiple rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns on halfback option plays during their careers. Wide receiver pass / fake reverse Similar to the halfback pass, the ball is given to a wide receiver on an end around or reverse, but instead of turning upfield he looks for a passing target (which in some situations might include the quarterback, who has run a pass pattern after the handoff.) Like the halfback pass, this play often utilizes a multi skilled player; Antwaan Randle El is a wide receiver who played quarterback in college and is known for his ability to pass, throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, another wide receiver who also played as a quarterback in college, during Super Bowl XL. This play was used famously in a 2015 NFL Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens when Julian Edelman threw a 51 yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. Flea Flicker In a conventional Flea Flicker, the ball is handed or tossed to a player to begin what appears to be a typical rush. The rusher pitches it back to the quarterback just before crossing the line of scrimmage. The quarterback can then attempt a conventional pass play. Other versions of this play are the reverse flea flicker and the double pass flea flicker. Reverse Flea Flicker As the name implies, this is a combination of a reverse and a flea flicker. After one or more reverse handoffs, the ball is lateraled back to the quarterback, who looks for an open receiver downfield. As with all flea flickers, the play is designed to trick the defensive backs into coming upfield prematurely to defend what they believe to be a rushing play. A variant is to have one of the recipients of the handoffs throw the ball himself; if the passer runs in an arc deep enough into the backfield and the reverse forestalls the pass rush, it provides plenty of time for the passer to make a proper read, unlike the normal flea flicker. Throwback Flea Flicker This is a combination between a double pass play and a flea flicker. A typical fleaflicker involves a handoff to a running back who then underhand pitches the ball back to the quarterback, but in this version, the player who takes the handoff gets outside and throws a backward pass to the quarterback, who then throws a forward pass. As with all flea flickers, it’s designed to draw defenders to the line to defend the run, but in this version, the defense is drawn to the outside, where the ball is thrown to the other side. Dual Quarterbacks The offense brings two quarterbacks onto the field for a play. This is typically utilized when a team's second or third string quarterback has dual threat ability, confusing the defense as to how the play will develop, and who will be passing the ball. Teams may keep one of the quarterbacks far wide as a receiver and throw a screen pass to him on a Double Pass play, where he then throws deep downfield or across the field to the scrambling quarterback. An early use of two quarterbacks was pioneered by the San Francisco 49ers, who in the late 1950s had certain sets where both Y. A. Tittle and John Brodie were on the field at the same time.

Похожая обманная комбинация – это реверс, который часто начинается как обход края. В реверсе игрок с мячом, двигающийся параллельно линии схватки в одном направлении, передает мяч товарищу по команде, бегущему в противоположном направлении. Это резко меняет направление движения мяча; если защита медленно реагирует, второй игрок с мячом может обойти край линии и оказаться почти на открытом пространстве. Вариации базового реверса включают двойной реверс (с двумя последовательными передачами, меняющими направление движения), крайне редкие тройные реверсы, поддельный реверс и реверс с флик-флопом.

A variant of this is to send two quarterbacks onto the field, then place one in a wide receiver position near the sideline nearest the team bench to make it appear as if the second quarterback is coming off the field. In Week 3 of the 2014 season, the Cleveland Browns executed a version of the play where they switched out quarterback Johnny Manziel for Brian Hoyer. Manziel walked over to the sideline, appearing as if he was talking with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. However, Manziel was lined up on the field, off the line of scrimmage. Hoyer snapped the ball, which prompted Shanahan to signal Manziel to run his route. The pass was completed for a 47 yard gain to a wide open Manziel, but was called back for an illegal shift by running back Terrance West. The use of dual quarterbacks in this manner has unusual statistical side effects; the 2015 NFL season saw Matt Cassel officially considered the Buffalo Bills' opening day starting quarterback because their first offensive play was a two quarterback trick play with usual starter Tyrod Taylor as wide receiver. Cassel never played another down for the Bills. Hook and lateral Also known as a "hook and ladder", the hook and lateral play involves a lateral pass after a completed forward pass. The most common variant of this play involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass, then immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing route. Sometimes known as a "circus". The Miami Dolphins ran this play against the San Diego Chargers in the 1981 AFC playoffs. On the last play of the first half, quarterback Don Strock threw a short pass to wide receiver Duriel Harris, who had gone downfield a few steps ahead of running back Tony Nathan. As Harris caught the ball, he stopped, facing back upfield, and then lateraled to Nathan as he ran by. Nathan took the lateral and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.
**Пас от раннинбека (Halfback Pass) (См. также вариант "Halfback Option Play")**
Common trick plays attempt to place the defense out of position by starting action in one direction, then completing it in another. They often appear to be a conventional play at first. There is no real "trick" being played in terms of deception, the defense simply reacts without considering the possibility of the ball carrier changing mid play. Some of these plays are so common as to not be recognized as trick plays, instead being a regular part of the American football playbook. Play Action Pass One of the most common forms of deception is the use of a play action pass, commonly referred to as a "play fake". In this type of play, after the snap the quarterback appears to hand the ball to the halfback, who will then simulate running with the ball. Still in possession of the ball, the quarterback will then attempt to complete a pass play. A play action pass can be effective in bringing linebackers and even defensive backs up close to the line of scrimmage in hopes of stopping a run, leaving receivers with more room to run routes and catch the ensuing pass. Draws A draw is, in essence, the opposite of a play action pass and can be as common. After the snap, the quarterback simulates the action of a pass, including dropping back and looking down field for the receivers. The quarterback will then hand the ball off to a running back or keep the ball himself and rush forward. A draw play attempts to fool the defense into dropping back into pass coverage, putting them out of position to cover the eventual rushing play. End arounds In an end around play, a wide receiver or split end runs laterally behind the line of scrimmage, takes a handoff from the quarterback, and continues around the opposite end of the line. As a regular part of the playbook, an end around with a proper lead blocker such as an H back or fullback can get positive yardage without relying on trickery. Because the defense normally expects the wide receivers to run a downfield pass pattern, an end around that catches the defenders by surprise can result in a big gain. Reverse A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end around. In a reverse, a ball carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the double reverse (which involves a second flow reversing handoff), exceedingly rare triple reverses involving even more handoffs, the fake reverse described below, and the reverse flea flicker. Double pass A double pass is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand offs. (Football rules limit an offense to one forward pass on any given play. No such restriction exists with lateral passes.) Halfback pass (See also Halfback option play.) In this play the quarterback pitches the ball to a halfback as if it were an outside run, but instead of running up the field the halfback looks for an open receiver to pass the ball to. Teams that have a player who is both a skilled runner and passer use this play more often. NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson are notable examples, each having scored multiple rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns on halfback option plays during their careers. Wide receiver pass / fake reverse Similar to the halfback pass, the ball is given to a wide receiver on an end around or reverse, but instead of turning upfield he looks for a passing target (which in some situations might include the quarterback, who has run a pass pattern after the handoff.) Like the halfback pass, this play often utilizes a multi skilled player; Antwaan Randle El is a wide receiver who played quarterback in college and is known for his ability to pass, throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, another wide receiver who also played as a quarterback in college, during Super Bowl XL. This play was used famously in a 2015 NFL Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens when Julian Edelman threw a 51 yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. Flea Flicker In a conventional Flea Flicker, the ball is handed or tossed to a player to begin what appears to be a typical rush. The rusher pitches it back to the quarterback just before crossing the line of scrimmage. The quarterback can then attempt a conventional pass play. Other versions of this play are the reverse flea flicker and the double pass flea flicker. Reverse Flea Flicker As the name implies, this is a combination of a reverse and a flea flicker. After one or more reverse handoffs, the ball is lateraled back to the quarterback, who looks for an open receiver downfield. As with all flea flickers, the play is designed to trick the defensive backs into coming upfield prematurely to defend what they believe to be a rushing play. A variant is to have one of the recipients of the handoffs throw the ball himself; if the passer runs in an arc deep enough into the backfield and the reverse forestalls the pass rush, it provides plenty of time for the passer to make a proper read, unlike the normal flea flicker. Throwback Flea Flicker This is a combination between a double pass play and a flea flicker. A typical fleaflicker involves a handoff to a running back who then underhand pitches the ball back to the quarterback, but in this version, the player who takes the handoff gets outside and throws a backward pass to the quarterback, who then throws a forward pass. As with all flea flickers, it’s designed to draw defenders to the line to defend the run, but in this version, the defense is drawn to the outside, where the ball is thrown to the other side. Dual Quarterbacks The offense brings two quarterbacks onto the field for a play. This is typically utilized when a team's second or third string quarterback has dual threat ability, confusing the defense as to how the play will develop, and who will be passing the ball. Teams may keep one of the quarterbacks far wide as a receiver and throw a screen pass to him on a Double Pass play, where he then throws deep downfield or across the field to the scrambling quarterback. An early use of two quarterbacks was pioneered by the San Francisco 49ers, who in the late 1950s had certain sets where both Y. A. Tittle and John Brodie were on the field at the same time. Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselbeck were used in this package by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. In Week 8 of the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens lined up Troy Smith at halfback next to Joe Flacco in the shotgun. Flacco handed the ball off to Smith, who rolled to the right, and then lobbed the pass back down the sideline to a sprinting Flacco for a gain of 43 yards.

В этом розыгрыше квотербек передает мяч раннинбеку, как при выносе в сторону, но вместо того, чтобы бежать вперед, раннинбек ищет открытого ресивера для паса. Команды, в составе которых есть игрок, умеющий как бегать, так и пасовать, чаще используют эту комбинацию. Зал славы НФЛ Уолтер Пейтон и ЛаДейниан Томлинсон являются яркими примерами, каждый из них забивал тачдауны, используя вынос, пас и прием мяча в розыгрышах с вариантом раннинбека.

Подобно пасу от раннинбека, мяч передается вайд-ресиверу в розыгрыше "обход края" или "реверс", но вместо того, чтобы двигаться вперед, он ищет цель для паса (которая в некоторых ситуациях может быть даже квотербеком, который выполнил маршрут после передачи). Как и в случае с пасом от раннинбека, в этой комбинации часто используется универсальный игрок; Антуан Рэндл Эл – вайд-ресивер, который играл квотербеком в колледже и известен своей способностью пасовать, он отдал 43-ярдовый тачдаунный пас Хайнсу Уорду, другому вайд-ресиверу, который также играл квотербеком в колледже, во время Супер Боула XL. Эта комбинация была успешно использована в плей-офф НФЛ 2015 года в матче между "Нью-Ингленд Пэтриотс" и "Балтимор Рэйвенс", когда Джулиан Эдельман отдал 51-ярдовый тачдаунный пас в третьей четверти.

Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselbeck were used in this package by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. In Week 8 of the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens lined up Troy Smith at halfback next to Joe Flacco in the shotgun. Flacco handed the ball off to Smith, who rolled to the right, and then lobbed the pass back down the sideline to a sprinting Flacco for a gain of 43 yards. A variant of this is to send two quarterbacks onto the field, then place one in a wide receiver position near the sideline nearest the team bench to make it appear as if the second quarterback is coming off the field. In Week 3 of the 2014 season, the Cleveland Browns executed a version of the play where they switched out quarterback Johnny Manziel for Brian Hoyer. Manziel walked over to the sideline, appearing as if he was talking with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. However, Manziel was lined up on the field, off the line of scrimmage. Hoyer snapped the ball, which prompted Shanahan to signal Manziel to run his route. The pass was completed for a 47 yard gain to a wide open Manziel, but was called back for an illegal shift by running back Terrance West. The use of dual quarterbacks in this manner has unusual statistical side effects; the 2015 NFL season saw Matt Cassel officially considered the Buffalo Bills' opening day starting quarterback because their first offensive play was a two quarterback trick play with usual starter Tyrod Taylor as wide receiver. Cassel never played another down for the Bills. Hook and lateral Also known as a "hook and ladder", the hook and lateral play involves a lateral pass after a completed forward pass. The most common variant of this play involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass, then immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing route. Sometimes known as a "circus". The Miami Dolphins ran this play against the San Diego Chargers in the 1981 AFC playoffs. On the last play of the first half, quarterback Don Strock threw a short pass to wide receiver Duriel Harris, who had gone downfield a few steps ahead of running back Tony Nathan. As Harris caught the ball, he stopped, facing back upfield, and then lateraled to Nathan as he ran by. Nathan took the lateral and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.
**Флик-флоп (Flea Flicker)**
Common trick plays attempt to place the defense out of position by starting action in one direction, then completing it in another. They often appear to be a conventional play at first. There is no real "trick" being played in terms of deception, the defense simply reacts without considering the possibility of the ball carrier changing mid play. Some of these plays are so common as to not be recognized as trick plays, instead being a regular part of the American football playbook. Play Action Pass One of the most common forms of deception is the use of a play action pass, commonly referred to as a "play fake". In this type of play, after the snap the quarterback appears to hand the ball to the halfback, who will then simulate running with the ball. Still in possession of the ball, the quarterback will then attempt to complete a pass play. A play action pass can be effective in bringing linebackers and even defensive backs up close to the line of scrimmage in hopes of stopping a run, leaving receivers with more room to run routes and catch the ensuing pass. Draws A draw is, in essence, the opposite of a play action pass and can be as common. After the snap, the quarterback simulates the action of a pass, including dropping back and looking down field for the receivers. The quarterback will then hand the ball off to a running back or keep the ball himself and rush forward. A draw play attempts to fool the defense into dropping back into pass coverage, putting them out of position to cover the eventual rushing play. End arounds In an end around play, a wide receiver or split end runs laterally behind the line of scrimmage, takes a handoff from the quarterback, and continues around the opposite end of the line. As a regular part of the playbook, an end around with a proper lead blocker such as an H back or fullback can get positive yardage without relying on trickery. Because the defense normally expects the wide receivers to run a downfield pass pattern, an end around that catches the defenders by surprise can result in a big gain. Reverse A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end around. In a reverse, a ball carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the double reverse (which involves a second flow reversing handoff), exceedingly rare triple reverses involving even more handoffs, the fake reverse described below, and the reverse flea flicker. Double pass A double pass is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand offs. (Football rules limit an offense to one forward pass on any given play. No such restriction exists with lateral passes.) Halfback pass (See also Halfback option play.) In this play the quarterback pitches the ball to a halfback as if it were an outside run, but instead of running up the field the halfback looks for an open receiver to pass the ball to. Teams that have a player who is both a skilled runner and passer use this play more often. NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson are notable examples, each having scored multiple rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns on halfback option plays during their careers. Wide receiver pass / fake reverse Similar to the halfback pass, the ball is given to a wide receiver on an end around or reverse, but instead of turning upfield he looks for a passing target (which in some situations might include the quarterback, who has run a pass pattern after the handoff.) Like the halfback pass, this play often utilizes a multi skilled player; Antwaan Randle El is a wide receiver who played quarterback in college and is known for his ability to pass, throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, another wide receiver who also played as a quarterback in college, during Super Bowl XL. This play was used famously in a 2015 NFL Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens when Julian Edelman threw a 51 yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. Flea Flicker In a conventional Flea Flicker, the ball is handed or tossed to a player to begin what appears to be a typical rush. The rusher pitches it back to the quarterback just before crossing the line of scrimmage. The quarterback can then attempt a conventional pass play. Other versions of this play are the reverse flea flicker and the double pass flea flicker. Reverse Flea Flicker As the name implies, this is a combination of a reverse and a flea flicker. After one or more reverse handoffs, the ball is lateraled back to the quarterback, who looks for an open receiver downfield. As with all flea flickers, the play is designed to trick the defensive backs into coming upfield prematurely to defend what they believe to be a rushing play. A variant is to have one of the recipients of the handoffs throw the ball himself; if the passer runs in an arc deep enough into the backfield and the reverse forestalls the pass rush, it provides plenty of time for the passer to make a proper read, unlike the normal flea flicker. Throwback Flea Flicker This is a combination between a double pass play and a flea flicker. A typical fleaflicker involves a handoff to a running back who then underhand pitches the ball back to the quarterback, but in this version, the player who takes the handoff gets outside and throws a backward pass to the quarterback, who then throws a forward pass. As with all flea flickers, it’s designed to draw defenders to the line to defend the run, but in this version, the defense is drawn to the outside, where the ball is thrown to the other side. Dual Quarterbacks The offense brings two quarterbacks onto the field for a play. This is typically utilized when a team's second or third string quarterback has dual threat ability, confusing the defense as to how the play will develop, and who will be passing the ball. Teams may keep one of the quarterbacks far wide as a receiver and throw a screen pass to him on a Double Pass play, where he then throws deep downfield or across the field to the scrambling quarterback.

Как следует из названия, это комбинация реверса и флик-флопа. После одной или нескольких передач в реверсе мяч возвращается квотербеку, который ищет открытого ресивера. Как и во всех флик-флопах, цель этой комбинации – обмануть защитников, заставив их выйти вперед для защиты от выноса. Вариант заключается в том, чтобы один из игроков, получивших мяч в реверсе, сам отдал пас; если пасующий находится достаточно глубоко в тылу и реверс задерживает прессинг, это дает ему достаточно времени для оценки ситуации, в отличие от обычного флик-флопа.

Flacco handed the ball off to Smith, who rolled to the right, and then lobbed the pass back down the sideline to a sprinting Flacco for a gain of 43 yards. A variant of this is to send two quarterbacks onto the field, then place one in a wide receiver position near the sideline nearest the team bench to make it appear as if the second quarterback is coming off the field. In Week 3 of the 2014 season, the Cleveland Browns executed a version of the play where they switched out quarterback Johnny Manziel for Brian Hoyer. Manziel walked over to the sideline, appearing as if he was talking with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. However, Manziel was lined up on the field, off the line of scrimmage. Hoyer snapped the ball, which prompted Shanahan to signal Manziel to run his route. The pass was completed for a 47 yard gain to a wide open Manziel, but was called back for an illegal shift by running back Terrance West. The use of dual quarterbacks in this manner has unusual statistical side effects; the 2015 NFL season saw Matt Cassel officially considered the Buffalo Bills' opening day starting quarterback because their first offensive play was a two quarterback trick play with usual starter Tyrod Taylor as wide receiver. Cassel never played another down for the Bills. Hook and lateral Also known as a "hook and ladder", the hook and lateral play involves a lateral pass after a completed forward pass. The most common variant of this play involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass, then immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing route. Sometimes known as a "circus". The Miami Dolphins ran this play against the San Diego Chargers in the 1981 AFC playoffs. On the last play of the first half, quarterback Don Strock threw a short pass to wide receiver Duriel Harris, who had gone downfield a few steps ahead of running back Tony Nathan. As Harris caught the ball, he stopped, facing back upfield, and then lateraled to Nathan as he ran by. Nathan took the lateral and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.

Common trick plays attempt to place the defense out of position by starting action in one direction, then completing it in another. They often appear to be a conventional play at first. There is no real "trick" being played in terms of deception, the defense simply reacts without considering the possibility of the ball carrier changing mid play. Some of these plays are so common as to not be recognized as trick plays, instead being a regular part of the American football playbook. Play Action Pass One of the most common forms of deception is the use of a play action pass, commonly referred to as a "play fake". In this type of play, after the snap the quarterback appears to hand the ball to the halfback, who will then simulate running with the ball. Still in possession of the ball, the quarterback will then attempt to complete a pass play. A play action pass can be effective in bringing linebackers and even defensive backs up close to the line of scrimmage in hopes of stopping a run, leaving receivers with more room to run routes and catch the ensuing pass. Draws A draw is, in essence, the opposite of a play action pass and can be as common. After the snap, the quarterback simulates the action of a pass, including dropping back and looking down field for the receivers. The quarterback will then hand the ball off to a running back or keep the ball himself and rush forward. A draw play attempts to fool the defense into dropping back into pass coverage, putting them out of position to cover the eventual rushing play. End arounds In an end around play, a wide receiver or split end runs laterally behind the line of scrimmage, takes a handoff from the quarterback, and continues around the opposite end of the line. As a regular part of the playbook, an end around with a proper lead blocker such as an H back or fullback can get positive yardage without relying on trickery. Because the defense normally expects the wide receivers to run a downfield pass pattern, an end around that catches the defenders by surprise can result in a big gain. Reverse A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end around. In a reverse, a ball carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the double reverse (which involves a second flow reversing handoff), exceedingly rare triple reverses involving even more handoffs, the fake reverse described below, and the reverse flea flicker. Double pass A double pass is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand offs. (Football rules limit an offense to one forward pass on any given play. No such restriction exists with lateral passes.) Halfback pass (See also Halfback option play.) In this play the quarterback pitches the ball to a halfback as if it were an outside run, but instead of running up the field the halfback looks for an open receiver to pass the ball to. Teams that have a player who is both a skilled runner and passer use this play more often. NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson are notable examples, each having scored multiple rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns on halfback option plays during their careers. Wide receiver pass / fake reverse Similar to the halfback pass, the ball is given to a wide receiver on an end around or reverse, but instead of turning upfield he looks for a passing target (which in some situations might include the quarterback, who has run a pass pattern after the handoff.) Like the halfback pass, this play often utilizes a multi skilled player; Antwaan Randle El is a wide receiver who played quarterback in college and is known for his ability to pass, throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, another wide receiver who also played as a quarterback in college, during Super Bowl XL. This play was used famously in a 2015 NFL Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens when Julian Edelman threw a 51 yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. Flea Flicker In a conventional Flea Flicker, the ball is handed or tossed to a player to begin what appears to be a typical rush. The rusher pitches it back to the quarterback just before crossing the line of scrimmage. The quarterback can then attempt a conventional pass play. Other versions of this play are the reverse flea flicker and the double pass flea flicker. Reverse Flea Flicker As the name implies, this is a combination of a reverse and a flea flicker. After one or more reverse handoffs, the ball is lateraled back to the quarterback, who looks for an open receiver downfield. As with all flea flickers, the play is designed to trick the defensive backs into coming upfield prematurely to defend what they believe to be a rushing play. A variant is to have one of the recipients of the handoffs throw the ball himself; if the passer runs in an arc deep enough into the backfield and the reverse forestalls the pass rush, it provides plenty of time for the passer to make a proper read, unlike the normal flea flicker. Throwback Flea Flicker This is a combination between a double pass play and a flea flicker. A typical fleaflicker involves a handoff to a running back who then underhand pitches the ball back to the quarterback, but in this version, the player who takes the handoff gets outside and throws a backward pass to the quarterback, who then throws a forward pass. As with all flea flickers, it’s designed to draw defenders to the line to defend the run, but in this version, the defense is drawn to the outside, where the ball is thrown to the other side. Dual Quarterbacks The offense brings two quarterbacks onto the field for a play. This is typically utilized when a team's second or third string quarterback has dual threat ability, confusing the defense as to how the play will develop, and who will be passing the ball. Teams may keep one of the quarterbacks far wide as a receiver and throw a screen pass to him on a Double Pass play, where he then throws deep downfield or across the field to the scrambling quarterback. An early use of two quarterbacks was pioneered by the San Francisco 49ers, who in the late 1950s had certain sets where both Y. A. Tittle and John Brodie were on the field at the same time. Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselbeck were used in this package by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. In Week 8 of the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens lined up Troy Smith at halfback next to Joe Flacco in the shotgun.

Это комбинация двойного паса и флик-флопа. В типичном флик-флопе раннинбек получает мяч и затем подбрасывает его обратно квотербеку, но в этом варианте игрок, получивший мяч, выходит за пределы поля и отдает назад квотербеку, который затем отдает пас вперед. Как и во всех флик-флопах, цель – заставить защитников выйти вперед для защиты от выноса, но в этом варианте защита выманивается на фланг, где и отдается пас.

В атаке на поле выходят два квотербека. Обычно это используется, когда второй или третий квотербек команды обладает универсальными навыками, что сбивает с толку защиту, не позволяя понять, как будет развиваться розыгрыш и кто будет отдавать пас. Команды могут расположить одного из квотербеков далеко в качестве ресивера и отдать ему короткий пас на розыгрыше с двойным пасом, после чего он отдает длинный пас бегущему квотербеку. Первым начал использовать двух квотербеков "Сан-Франциско Форти Найнерс" в конце 1950-х годов, когда на поле одновременно находились Я. А. Титтл и Джон Броди. В 2009 году "Сиэтл Сихокс" использовали эту схему с участием Сенеки Уоллеса и Мэтта Хассельбека. В 8-й неделе сезона 2008 года "Балтимор Рэйвенс" выставили Тройя Смита на позицию раннинбека рядом с Джо Флакко в шотгане. Флакко отдал мяч Смиту, который ушел вправо и затем отбросил пас вниз по линии к бегущему Флакко, который набрал 43 ярда. Вариант этой схемы заключается в том, чтобы вывести на поле двух квотербеков, а затем расположить одного из них в позиции вайд-ресивера возле боковой линии рядом со скамейкой команды, чтобы создать впечатление, что второй квотербек покидает поле. В 3-й неделе сезона 2014 года "Кливленд Браунс" выполнили версию этого розыгрыша, заменив Джонни Мэнзиэла на Брайана Хойера. Мэнзиэль подошел к боковой линии, как будто разговаривал с координатором нападения Кайлом Шанаханом. Однако Мэнзиэль находился на поле за линией схватки. Хойер отдал снэп, что побудило Шанахана подать сигнал Мэнзиэлю начать свой маршрут. Пас был завершен на 47 ярдов открытому Мэнзиэлю, но был отменен из-за незаконного смещения раннинбека Терренса Уэста. Использование двух квотербеков таким образом имеет необычные статистические побочные эффекты; в сезоне НФЛ 2015 года Мэтт Кассел был официально признан стартовым квотербеком "Баффало Биллс" в первый день сезона, потому что их первая атакующая комбинация была обманным розыгрышем с участием обычного стартового квотербека Тайрода Тейлора в качестве вайд-ресивера. Кассел больше никогда не играл за "Биллс".
Common trick plays attempt to place the defense out of position by starting action in one direction, then completing it in another. They often appear to be a conventional play at first. There is no real "trick" being played in terms of deception, the defense simply reacts without considering the possibility of the ball carrier changing mid play. Some of these plays are so common as to not be recognized as trick plays, instead being a regular part of the American football playbook. Play Action Pass One of the most common forms of deception is the use of a play action pass, commonly referred to as a "play fake". In this type of play, after the snap the quarterback appears to hand the ball to the halfback, who will then simulate running with the ball. Still in possession of the ball, the quarterback will then attempt to complete a pass play. A play action pass can be effective in bringing linebackers and even defensive backs up close to the line of scrimmage in hopes of stopping a run, leaving receivers with more room to run routes and catch the ensuing pass. Draws A draw is, in essence, the opposite of a play action pass and can be as common. After the snap, the quarterback simulates the action of a pass, including dropping back and looking down field for the receivers. The quarterback will then hand the ball off to a running back or keep the ball himself and rush forward. A draw play attempts to fool the defense into dropping back into pass coverage, putting them out of position to cover the eventual rushing play. End arounds In an end around play, a wide receiver or split end runs laterally behind the line of scrimmage, takes a handoff from the quarterback, and continues around the opposite end of the line. As a regular part of the playbook, an end around with a proper lead blocker such as an H back or fullback can get positive yardage without relying on trickery. Because the defense normally expects the wide receivers to run a downfield pass pattern, an end around that catches the defenders by surprise can result in a big gain. Reverse A similar trick play is a reverse, which often begins as an end around. In a reverse, a ball carrier running parallel to the line of scrimmage in one direction hands off to a teammate coming in the opposite direction. This abruptly reverses the lateral flow of the play; if the defense is slow to react, the second ball carrier might make it around the end of the line to a near open field. Variations of the basic reverse include the double reverse (which involves a second flow reversing handoff), exceedingly rare triple reverses involving even more handoffs, the fake reverse described below, and the reverse flea flicker. Double pass A double pass is like a reverse conducted with lateral passes instead of hand offs. (Football rules limit an offense to one forward pass on any given play. No such restriction exists with lateral passes.) Halfback pass (See also Halfback option play.) In this play the quarterback pitches the ball to a halfback as if it were an outside run, but instead of running up the field the halfback looks for an open receiver to pass the ball to. Teams that have a player who is both a skilled runner and passer use this play more often. NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton and LaDainian Tomlinson are notable examples, each having scored multiple rushing, passing and receiving touchdowns on halfback option plays during their careers. Wide receiver pass / fake reverse Similar to the halfback pass, the ball is given to a wide receiver on an end around or reverse, but instead of turning upfield he looks for a passing target (which in some situations might include the quarterback, who has run a pass pattern after the handoff.) Like the halfback pass, this play often utilizes a multi skilled player; Antwaan Randle El is a wide receiver who played quarterback in college and is known for his ability to pass, throwing a 43 yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, another wide receiver who also played as a quarterback in college, during Super Bowl XL. This play was used famously in a 2015 NFL Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens when Julian Edelman threw a 51 yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. Flea Flicker In a conventional Flea Flicker, the ball is handed or tossed to a player to begin what appears to be a typical rush. The rusher pitches it back to the quarterback just before crossing the line of scrimmage. The quarterback can then attempt a conventional pass play. Other versions of this play are the reverse flea flicker and the double pass flea flicker. Reverse Flea Flicker As the name implies, this is a combination of a reverse and a flea flicker. After one or more reverse handoffs, the ball is lateraled back to the quarterback, who looks for an open receiver downfield. As with all flea flickers, the play is designed to trick the defensive backs into coming upfield prematurely to defend what they believe to be a rushing play. A variant is to have one of the recipients of the handoffs throw the ball himself; if the passer runs in an arc deep enough into the backfield and the reverse forestalls the pass rush, it provides plenty of time for the passer to make a proper read, unlike the normal flea flicker. Throwback Flea Flicker This is a combination between a double pass play and a flea flicker. A typical fleaflicker involves a handoff to a running back who then underhand pitches the ball back to the quarterback, but in this version, the player who takes the handoff gets outside and throws a backward pass to the quarterback, who then throws a forward pass. As with all flea flickers, it’s designed to draw defenders to the line to defend the run, but in this version, the defense is drawn to the outside, where the ball is thrown to the other side. Dual Quarterbacks The offense brings two quarterbacks onto the field for a play. This is typically utilized when a team's second or third string quarterback has dual threat ability, confusing the defense as to how the play will develop, and who will be passing the ball. Teams may keep one of the quarterbacks far wide as a receiver and throw a screen pass to him on a Double Pass play, where he then throws deep downfield or across the field to the scrambling quarterback. An early use of two quarterbacks was pioneered by the San Francisco 49ers, who in the late 1950s had certain sets where both Y. A. Tittle and John Brodie were on the field at the same time. Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselbeck were used in this package by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. In Week 8 of the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens lined up Troy Smith at halfback next to Joe Flacco in the shotgun. Flacco handed the ball off to Smith, who rolled to the right, and then lobbed the pass back down the sideline to a sprinting Flacco for a gain of 43 yards. A variant of this is to send two quarterbacks onto the field, then place one in a wide receiver position near the sideline nearest the team bench to make it appear as if the second quarterback is coming off the field. In Week 3 of the 2014 season, the Cleveland Browns executed a version of the play where they switched out quarterback Johnny Manziel for Brian Hoyer. Manziel walked over to the sideline, appearing as if he was talking with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. However, Manziel was lined up on the field, off the line of scrimmage. Hoyer snapped the ball, which prompted Shanahan to signal Manziel to run his route. The pass was completed for a 47 yard gain to a wide open Manziel, but was called back for an illegal shift by running back Terrance West. The use of dual quarterbacks in this manner has unusual statistical side effects; the 2015 NFL season saw Matt Cassel officially considered the Buffalo Bills' opening day starting quarterback because their first offensive play was a two quarterback trick play with usual starter Tyrod Taylor as wide receiver. Cassel never played another down for the Bills. Hook and lateral Also known as a "hook and ladder", the hook and lateral play involves a lateral pass after a completed forward pass. The most common variant of this play involves a receiver who runs a curl pattern, catches a short pass, then immediately laterals the ball to another receiver running a crossing route. Sometimes known as a "circus". The Miami Dolphins ran this play against the San Diego Chargers in the 1981 AFC playoffs. On the last play of the first half, quarterback Don Strock threw a short pass to wide receiver Duriel Harris, who had gone downfield a few steps ahead of running back Tony Nathan. As Harris caught the ball, he stopped, facing back upfield, and then lateraled to Nathan as he ran by. Nathan took the lateral and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.
Поддельные
Традиционные розыгрыши трюков основаны на неспособности защиты быстро реагировать на изменение направления движения, исходя из предположения, что такие изменения происходят редко. Другой тип розыгрышей трюков намеренно более сложен и включает в себя дезинформацию о местоположении мяча, текущей ситуации в игре или использование лазеек в правилах.
Conventional trick plays involve the defense's inability to quickly react to changes in direction, based on the basic assumption that such changes rarely occur. Another class of trick plays are deliberately more tricky, involving deception about the position of the ball, the state of the play, or taking advantages of tricks in the rules.
Статуя Свободы
Игра "Статуя Свободы", получившая название из-за сходства с одноименной статуей, начинается с ввода мяча в игру к квотербеку, который отступает, готовясь к пасу. Обычно ввод мяча принимается двумя руками, после чего мяч переносится в руку для броска (как правило, правую), а небросающая рука опускается вниз. В этом розыгрыше квотербек выполняет те же движения, но переносит мяч в небросающую руку. Когда он имитирует пас, небросающая рука уходит за спину, скрывая мяч. Один из бегущих, двигающийся в направлении, противоположном имитации паса, берет мяч и начинает вынос. Как и при розыгрыше "реверс", цель состоит в том, чтобы застать защиту не на своей стороне линии, и это может быть очень эффективным при успешном исполнении. Однако требуемые движения и точность времени сложны и могут легко привести к срыву розыгрыша.
The "Statue of Liberty play", named for its resemblance to the Statue of Liberty, starts with a snap to the quarterback, who falls back, preparing for a pass. Normally the snap is caught in two hands, and then the ball is moved to the throwing hand (typically right) while the non throwing arm moves lower. In this trick, the quarterback carries out the same motions, but moves the ball to the non throwing hand. When he fakes the pass, the non throwing arm is moved behind his back, hiding the ball. One of the backs, running in the direction opposite the fake pass, takes the ball and starts a rush. Like the reverse, the goal is to catch the defense on the wrong side of the line, and can be a high value play when executed successfully. However, the movements and timing required are difficult and can easily lead to blown plays.
Фумблероуски
В фамблероски квотербек принимает снэп и сразу же незаметно для защиты выкладывает мяч на землю. Технически это потеря мяча (фамбл), отсюда и название розыгрыша. Затем квотербек отходит от мяча, имитируя пас или подготовку к финту передачи в одну сторону от линии схватки. В это время один из бегущих поднимает мяч и начинает вынос в противоположном направлении. В целом, розыгрыш очень похож на "Статую Свободы", но предоставляет квотербеку больше пространства для маневра. Существуют споры о законности фамблероски.
In the fumblerooski, the quarterback takes the snap and immediately places the ball, unseen by the defense, on the ground. This is technically a fumble, and thus the name of the play. The quarterback then moves away from the ball, faking a pass or setting up for a fake hand off to one side of the line. Meanwhile, one of the backs picks up the ball and starts a rush in the opposite direction. In general terms the play is very similar to the Statue of Liberty, although it gives the quarterback more room for motion. There is some dispute as to whether the fumblerooski is legal.
Боунсероуски
После розыгрыша, квотербек отступает назад и делает вид, что пасует одному из ресиверов у линии схватки. Однако он намеренно пасует коротко, так что мяч отскакивает от земли рядом с предполагаемым принимающим. Ресивер затем небрежно ловит мяч, когда тот подпрыгивает. Если бы мяч двигался вперед, касание земли привело бы к остановке игры как неполному пасу. Однако это не относится к боковому пасу, где отскок технически считается потерей мяча (fumble), и игра продолжается. Ключевой момент в исполнении "отскока" (bouncerooski) заключается в том, чтобы все игроки атакующей команды притворялись, что это неполный пас. Обычно это происходит так: ресивер не начинает движение, все атакующие игроки останавливаются и неторопливо возвращаются на свои позиции на линии, и все в целом расслабляются. Если обман удается, и защита поступает так же, ресивер может убежать без сопротивления, или, поскольку это был боковой пас, сделать передачу вперед после того, как ресиверы успеют продвинуться далеко по полю. Трюк работает только в том случае, если команда нападения хорошо его "отыгрывает", ни один из защитников не замечает, где именно мяч коснулся земли, и защита останавливается, увидев касание мяча, вместо того, чтобы играть до свистка судьи (как учат большинство тренеров). Если защита заметит обман, она может просто выхватить мяч у неподвижного ресивера, что делает этот прием опасным. Несмотря на то, что название подразумевает сходство с "фумблероски", эти розыгрыши сильно отличаются по исполнению на поле. Этот прием также опасен для ресивера, поскольку траектория "отскока" мяча непредсказуема из-за его вытянутой формы. Мяч, брошенный в одном направлении, может отскочить от земли в совершенно другом. Одним из известных примеров "отскока" был матч Небраска против Оклахомы в 1982 году. Хотя он не обманул защитников, розыгрыш был выполнен достаточно хорошо, чтобы ресивер, принявший отскок назад, смог завершить трюк передачей товарищу по команде для значительного продвижения.
After taking the snap, the quarterback drops back slightly and pretends to pass to one of the receivers near the line of scrimmage. However, he deliberately passes short, so the ball bounces off the ground near the intended receiver. The receiver then catches the ball nonchalantly as it bounces up again. If the ball had moved forward, hitting the ground would trigger the end of the play as an incomplete pass. However, this is not the case for a lateral pass, where the bounce is technically a fumble, and play continues. Key to the bounce rooski is that everyone on the offensive team has to pretend that it is an incomplete pass. This typically happens with the receiver never starting motion, all of the offensive players stopping and leisurely returning to their places on the line, and everyone basically relaxing. If the fake is successful, when the defense does the same, the receiver can run off unopposed, or, as it was a lateral pass, make a forward pass after the receivers have had ample time to move far down the field. The trick only works if the offensive team "plays it" well, none of the defenders notices exactly where the ball hit the ground, and the defense stops at the sight of the ball hitting the ground instead of playing until they hear the official's whistle (as most coaches teach). In the event the defense notices the fakery, they can simply grab the ball from the stationary receiver, making this a dangerous ploy. Although the name implies great similarities with the fumblerooski, the two are very different in terms of on field action. The play is also dangerous for the receiver since the trajectory of the football's "bounce" is unpredictable due to the oblong shape of the ball. A football thrown in one direction may bounce off the ground in a completely different one. One of the famed examples of the bouncerooski was Nebraska vs Oklahoma in 1982, although it didn't fool the defenders, it was still executed well enough that the wide receiver who took the backward bouncing pass was still able to complete the trick play with a wide receiver pass to a team mate for a significant gain.
Поддельный шнур
Эта комбинация может принимать различные формы. Обычно принимающий просто ловит снэп и стремится отдать пас или побежать с мячом, после того как защищающиеся игроки устремляются вниз по полю, чтобы блокировать возвращающего. В другом варианте мяч может быть передан непосредственно игроку линии нападения, который затем выбегает вперед по полю или отдает пас.
This play can take a number of different forms. Usually the punter will simply take the snap and look to throw a pass or run with the ball after the defenders have turned downfield to block for the punt return. In another variation, the ball may be snapped directly to an upback who then runs downfield or throws.
Фальшивый гол
Как и в случае с финтом при паунте, существует несколько различных вариантов финта при попытке реализации полевого гола. Обычно холдер (часто лайнмен или резервный квотербек в большинстве команд) бросает или бежит, как и при финте при паунте. Дэнни Уайт был одновременно квотербеком и лайнменом команды «Даллас Ковбойс» в 1980-х годах и часто выполнял эту комбинацию. Реже в качестве пасующего или бегущего в финте при реализации полевого гола выступает бьющий по мячу (плейскикер), который практически никогда не владеет мячом в ходе американского футбольного матча. Примерами являются Адам Винатьери, бьющий по мячу из «Нью-Ингленд Пэтриотс», который получил прямой снэп и отдал передачу для тачдауна во время игры НФЛ в 2004 году, и Колт Дэвид, бьющий по мячу из ЛСУ, который пробежал 15 ярдов для тачдауна в 2007 году после получения мяча боковым пасом от холдера (и стартового квотербека) Мэтта Флинна. «Сиэтл Сихокс» также использовали эту хитрую комбинацию в чемпионате NFC 2014 года против «Грин-Бэй Пэкерс». Комбинация завершилась тачдауном (передачей на право имеющего право на прием новичка Гарри Гиллиама от холдера Джона Райана) и помогла «Сиэтлу» отыграться после отставания в 16 очков, что позволило им выйти в Супер Боул XLIX.
As with a fake punt, there are a number of different forms for a fake field goal. Usually the holder (often the punter or backup quarterback on most teams) will throw or run as with the fake punt. Danny White was both quarterback and punter for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s and often executed this play. Less frequently, the placekicker, who virtually never handles the ball in an American football game, will serve as the passer or rusher on a fake field goal. Examples include then New England kicker Adam Vinatieri receiving a direct snap and throwing a touchdown pass during an NFL game in 2004, and LSU kicker Colt David rushing for a 15 yard touchdown in 2007 after receiving the ball on a blind lateral from holder (and starting QB) Matt Flynn. The Seattle Seahawks also used this trick play in the 2014 NFC Championship against the Green Bay Packers. The play resulted in a touchdown (to eligible rookie offensive lineman Garry Gilliam from holder Jon Ryan) and helped Seattle recover from a 16–point deficit en route to a Super Bowl XLIX appearance.
Неожиданный удар в сторону
Накатанный удар, как правило, – это попытка выбивания мяча, при которой мяч направляется таким образом, чтобы команда, выполняющая удар, могла его подобрать и сохранить владение. Усиление ограничений на накатанный удар сделало его применение более сложным; даже до введения этих правил успешный накатанный удар, когда его ожидали, был редкостью. Накатанный удар более эффективен в качестве неожиданного приема, когда принимающая команда не готова к нему и не выставила на поле "команду подбора" (группу ресиверов и других игроков, умеющих подбирать отскочившие мячи). Самый известный пример неожиданного накатанного удара – это удар, выполненный "Нью-Орлеанс Сэйнтс" на стартовом ударе во втором тайме Супербоула XLIV против "Индианаполис Колтс", в матче, который "Сэйнтс" в итоге выиграли со счетом 31–17.
An onside kick, in general, is a kickoff attempt that is positioned in a way that is intended for the kicking team to recover, retaining possession of the football. Increasing restrictions on the onside kick have made it harder to use; even before these rules were imposed, a successful onside kick when expected was rare. The onside kick is more successful as a trick play, conducted when the receiving team does not expect it and does not have their "hands team" (an assembly of wide receivers and other players adept at recovering loose balls) on the field. The most famous example of a surprise onside kick is when the New Orleans Saints used it on the second half kickoff in Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts, a game the Saints eventually won 31–17.
Процедура фальшивомонетки
Этот трюк, известный под разными названиями, является вариантом схемы с двумя квотербеками, описанной выше. Он заключается в том, что квотербек поднимается и отходит от своей позиции за центром до снэпа, как бы для того, чтобы услышать указания тренера или запросить тайм-аут. Однако, поскольку одному игроку разрешено двигаться перед снэпом, игра технически не останавливается. Если защита расслабится, полагая, что квотербек собирается покинуть поле, мяч может быть введен в игру одному из других игроков против неподготовленной защиты. Если же защиту не удастся обмануть, квотербек может просто имитировать задуманное действие и вернуться за центр для снэпа. Команды Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers и St. Louis Rams использовали различные варианты этой комбинации в NFL, а также она была показана в фильме "Самый длинный двор" (2005) при реализации победного двуххочкового. В соответствии с некоторыми правилами школьных лиг, если квотербек или тренеры на скамейке запасных скажут что-либо, что может ввести защиту в заблуждение относительно неизбежности снэпа, то это будет считаться незаконным нечестным приемом.
Going by a variety of names, this trick, a variant of the dual quarterback scenario listed above, involves the quarterback getting up and walking away from his position behind the center before the snap, apparently in order to hear the call from the coach or to call a timeout. However, as one player is allowed to be in motion before the snap, play is not technically stopped. If the defense relaxes, believing the quarterback is about to walk to the sidelines, the ball can be snapped to one of the other players and played against a defense that is unprepared. If the defense is not fooled, the quarterback can simply complete the fake task, and return to the center to call the snap. The Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers, and St. Louis Rams have used variations of this play in the NFL, and it was also used in the movie The Longest Yard (2005) for a winning two point conversion. Under some state high school rules, if the quarterback or coaches on the sideline say anything that may lead the defense to believe that a snap is not imminent, then the play is an illegal unfair act.
Поддельный шпиль
Когда время на исходе, квотербек нередко бросает мяч о землю, чтобы остановить часы, либо для подготовки к следующему розыгрышу, либо для вызова специальных команд. Здесь также цель – обмануть защиту, заставив её поверить, что дальний розыгрыш не последует, но не ввести судей в заблуждение, так как это тоже может сорвать розыгрыш. Знаменитый пример произошел в 1994 году с розыгрышем "Clock Play", когда "Дельфины" Дэна Марино играли против "Джетс". По словам Пэта Кирвана, бывшего тренера и руководителя "Джетс", еще один известный случай произошел в 2013 году в 8-й игровой неделе между "Даллас Ковбойс" и "Детройт Лайонс". За минуту до конца основного времени квотербек "Лайонс" Мэтью Стаффорд прошел 80 ярдов по полю, включая 22-ярдовый пас Кэлвину Джонсону, который остановился в одном ярде от зачетной зоны при 33 секундах, оставшихся без тайм-аутов. Затем Стаффорд перепрыгнул через своего линейного и забил победный тачдаун. Пейтон Мэннинг также часто использовал фиктивный бросок, и в игре 2001 года против "Нового Орлеана" он сыграл настолько убедительно, что судья Джефф Триплетт дал свисток, остановив розыгрыш, что лишило "Колтс" вероятного тачдауна.
When the clock is running low, it is not uncommon for a quarterback to spike the ball to stop the clock, either to set up for the next play or bring on the special teams. Here too, the objective is to trick the defense into believing that no downfield play will be run—but not fool the officials into thinking the same, which can also ruin the play. A famous example occurred in 1994 with the Clock Play, when Dan Marino's Dolphins were playing the Jets. From the account of Pat Kirwan, former Jets defensive coach and executive,
Another famous example occurred in 2013 during a Week 8 game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. With a minute left in regulation, Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford drove 80 yards downfield, including a 22 yard pass to Calvin Johnson that stopped 1 yard short of the goal line with 33 seconds left with the Lions out of timeouts. Stafford then jumped over his lineman for the game winning touchdown. Peyton Manning was also a frequent user of the fake spike, and "sold it" so well in a 2001 game against New Orleans that the referee Jeff Triplette blew the whistle to stop the play, costing the Colts a probable touchdown.

Подлежащие ликвидации
Игра с допустимым участием тэкла включает в себя размещение атакующего тэкла на позиции тайт-энда. Из-за ограничений в нумерации, атакующей команде необходимо сообщить о расстановке судье, который объявляет всем, что игрок с недействительным номером становится eligible receiver, снижая элемент неожиданности. (Точный механизм розыгрыша с участием тэкла варьируется в зависимости от лиги; например, в американском студенческом и канадском футболе линейному требуется физически сменить майку, чтобы стать eligible.) Часто обман заключается в несбалансированной линии нападения, когда на одной стороне от центра находятся два игрока (включая тэкла, ставшего eligible), а на другой – четыре, создавая впечатление, что тэкл находится на своей обычной позиции. Известные розыгрыши с участием тэкла включают розыгрыш в Cotton Bowl Classic в январе 2015 года с участием Лакуана Макгоуэна, 186-килограммового линейного, который сменил майку для розыгрыша с участием тэкла, ставшего eligible, и тачдаун, забитый Джамбо Эллиоттом в игре Monday Night Miracle.
A tackle eligible play involves placing an offensive tackle in the position of a tight end. Because of numbering restrictions, the offensive team must report the positioning to the official, who announces to everyone that the ineligible numbered player is an eligible receiver, reducing the element of surprise. (The exact mechanism of the tackle eligible play varies by league; college football and Canadian football, for example, require a lineman to physically change his jersey to become eligible.) Often, the trickery involves an unbalanced offensive line, such that there are two players (including the tackle eligible) on one side of the center and four on the other, making it appear that the tackle eligible is in a normal position. Famous tackle eligible plays include a play in the January 2015 Cotton Bowl Classic involving LaQuan McGowan, a 410 pound offensive lineman who changed jerseys to run a tackle eligible play; and Jumbo Elliott's touchdown scoring play in the Monday Night Miracle.
Известные трюки
Филадельфийские «Орлы» использовали прием «Филли Спешл» в Супербоуле LII, который принес им тачдаун с 4-й попытки и гола. В ходе розыгрыша бегущий Корри Клемент принял прямой снэп и перебросил мяч тайт-энду Трейу Бёртону, который отдал передачу для тачдауна квотербеку Нику Фоулсу, бежавшему маршрутом в правую часть зачетной зоны. В «Музыкальном чуде города» «Теннесси Тайтенс» использовали розыгрыш возврата начального удара, включавший два намеренных паса назад, один из которых пролетел почти через всю ширину поля, чтобы победить «Баффало Биллс» в плей-офф НФЛ 2000 года. Команда «Бойз Стэйт Бронкос» знаменито использовала три трюковых розыгрыша подряд, чтобы набрать пятнадцать очков в концовке Фиеста Боул 2007 года, вырвав победу со счетом 43:42 у «Оклахомы». Эти три розыгрыша включали в себя передачу с хуком и боковым шагом, которая сравняла счет и привела к овертайму; пас широкого ресивера, выполненный из формации Wildcat, для тачдауна в овертайме; и, наконец, розыгрыш «Статуя Свободы» при последующей попытке реализации двух очков, чтобы выиграть матч по истечении времени. Команда «Небраска Корнхаскерс» забила знаменитый тачдаун в Оранж Боул 1984 года против «Майами Харрикейнс» с помощью розыгрыша «фамблероски». После того, как мяч был намеренно оставлен на поле во время фиктивного свипа, лайнмен «Небраски» Дин Стейнкюлер незаметно поднял его и побежал к зачетной зоне, прежде чем «Ураганы» успели отреагировать. Этот розыгрыш впоследствии был запрещен на большинстве уровней соревновательного футбола.
The Philadelphia Eagles used the Philly Special in Super Bowl LII, which scored them a touchdown on 4th and Goal. On the play, running back Corey Clement took a direct snap and flipped it to tight end Trey Burton, who threw a touchdown pass to quarterback Nick Foles running a route to the right side of the end zone. In the Music City Miracle, the Tennessee Titans used a kickoff return play containing two designed backward passes, one traveling nearly the width of the field, to defeat the Buffalo Bills in a 2000 NFL wild card playoff game. The Boise State Broncos famously used three trick plays in rapid succession to score fifteen points near the end of the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, pulling off a 43–42 victory over Oklahoma. The three plays were a hook and lateral play, which tied the game and forced overtime; a wide receiver option pass run out of the Wildcat set to score in the overtime period; and finally, a Statue of Liberty play on the ensuing two point conversion attempt to win the game as time expired. The Nebraska Cornhuskers scored a famous touchdown in the 1984 Orange Bowl against the Miami Hurricanes on a fumblerooski play. After the ball was deliberately left sitting on the field during a fake sweep, Nebraska lineman Dean Steinkuhler surreptitiously picked it up and ran unchallenged towards the endzone before the Hurricanes could react. This play was subsequently banned at most levels of competitive football.
