"Centre Sneak"
We've seen that play a bunch here lately...it's a real pain in the arse.
In Cdn. rules, it's covered under the "hand off pass" rule. To be legal, the player taking the "pass" cannot be occupying the position of a lineman.
Thus, for it to work, the QB would have to take the snap, take a step back a yard, then the centre would also have to take a step a yard back and THEN get the forward hand off pass. This centre's snap back to touch the QB's hands and then running off with it is Procedure, a 5 yard penalty.
That's a fair bit of choreography if you ask me...tough for the June Taylor Dancers to get that one right...much less a amateur football player....
