Line of Scrimmage

Line of Scrimmage
American-Football-Spielfeld

Die Line of Scrimmage (übersetzt etwa als Gedrängelinie) ist die Linie, von der beim American Football die Spielzüge beginnen. Steht der Werfer der angreifenden Mannschaft, meistens der Quarterback, vor der Line of Scrimmage, so darf er nur noch hinter sich und direkt neben sich werfen.

Wird der Quarterback oder ein anderer Spieler bei einem Passversuch hinter der Line of Scrimmage getackelt, nennt man das Sack. Die Line Of Scrimmage ist also nur eine fiktive Linie, die durch die Position des Balles vor Beginn des Spielzugs gezogen ist. Sie ist gewissermaßen die "Front", an der sich Offense und Defense vor dem anstehenden Gedränge gegenüberstehen und die vor dem Snap nicht überschritten werden darf.
