Shuttle, Shovel or Shuffle Pass?

I have heard people argue all three on the boards.

I have been always told that it is the Shuffle Pass. Why? Because when you make the pass, you shuffle your feet.

Shovel. It's the motion of the pass (depending on how the qb gets rid of it).

Shuffle I can sort of see. I don't see shuttle at all.

It's definitely not shuttle.

It's called a shovel pass. No doubt about it.

SHOVEL. it's from the motion of the QB toward the receiver which resembles the act of shovelling.

there cannot be pass interference against a defender who prematurely mugs the intended recipient of a shovel pass.

To end the confusion I propose we just take it out of our offense. There are plenty of other 2 yard passes out there that are underrepresented in our playbook.

I don't know how you guys all shovel, but I do not do it in the same motion as a Shuffle, Shovel, Shuttle Pass

It's "Shovel Pass."

It's "Hook and Lateral."

And it's "Texas Bite."

isn't the shuttle pass, that p.e. thing where you run back and forth between the free throw lines moving little woodend blocks

it was part of the president's physical fitness test for a couple of years back in elementary school

shovel pass.

John Elway did it the best especially on third and longs. That said please don't run it every game this year. Nice play but it gets predictable.

While I understand it was called a shovel pass when first run at Utah, different coaches have (through malapropism) called it different things.

I guess it is whatever your playbook says it is.

Personally, this is one of my favorite threads.

It just seems to drive some people crazy...like leaving the cap off the toothpaste tube.

Shovel pass...short for Shoveleneski, a Greek quarterback who invented the play back in the 16th century.

I'm pretty sure that according to RC, they are three different plays. So see, we don't actually run the same play all game.

Shovel = 1st down
Shuttle = 2nd down
Shuffle = 3rd down

It's shuttle, as in "short, point to point travel." If that's the motion some people on this board use to shovel, I hope they're not involved in the next end zone expansion... might take a little long.

"Shoveleneski" is a Greek name? There must have been a new tectonic plate collision this past weekend.

If it is only one of five plays it is called a STUPID pass.

Shovelinski was one of those famous Greek quarterbacks from the southwestern part of Poland.

Actually not Greek at all. It is Polish for 'no first downs'.

Shovel, I have nothing witty to say.
