Trivia Answer Dispute
"A football term for a lateral toss from the quarterback to running back" is called a pitch out? Choices were forward progress, lateral, pitch out and special teams. Never heard pitch out used other than in baseball....maybe pitch back if runnning back is behind qb. I chose lateral.
Trivia reset? Or am I just an idiot here?
a pitch play is where the qb throws it back to the running back like a sweep play
lateral is when the ball carrier throws it back like a trick play where the running back has the ball and throws it backwards to a WR for a throw or something along those lines .....
never really heard pitch out though kinda confusing ...
Never in my life can I remember the announcers using the term "pitch out" when referring to football...in any capacity. Only in baseball.
ya ive never heard the term pitch out either...Originally Posted by Memento
i know throwing it back qb to rb can be a pitch or sweep play
a lateral is not when the qb throws it back its when a ball carrier does example an RB,WR,TE
pitch out is extremely confusing though... my question today was who had the most losses in a season for 4 mlb teams in 2005..... so we both had no chance lol
yeah, just one of those days. BOL on Monday!

I know the term - i guess it's not used much anymore.
But it is definitely a lateral ( often underhand ) from the qb , or whoever takes snap. In the single wing ( another term from the past ) it was the fullback or halfback ( another word of the past) . In the single wing halfback was often called tailback, while the other halfback was call wingback.
I could go on and on with football vocabulary changes....how did "line to gain" suddenly become a thing?
go to google >>> define "pitch out" in football

Toss to tailback used to be called a "pitch" and still is as far as I know. Never heard the term "pitch out." But close enough. Pitch is pitch. Some of them are tricky.
The great Bobby Layne practicing a pitch out - and it was definitely called "pitch out".

Sporting Charts explains Lateral
A lateral has many different uses throughout play. The most common use is on a running play when the quarterback will lateral the ball to a running back in order to get the ball to the outside more quickly than a standard handoff. Laterals can also be used in trick plays, such as the flea-flicker and hook-and-ladder, in order to switch the player with the ball in an attempt to catch the defense off guard. Laterals can also be used by defensive or special teams players in return situations, as a player who is about to be tackled can lateral the ball to another player to keep the play alive and advance the ball further. Laterals that occur downfield during plays are considered quite risky because of the number of players who can make a play on the ball.
I vote redo for the guy. He tried awfully hard.
