Swinging gate (American football)
The Swinging Gate is an unorthodox set-piece play in American football, executed in either the offensive or special-teams sections of play. It is unusual in that the offensive line, with the exception of the center, will line up to one side of the field, leaving the quarterback and running back unprotected on the other. Its goal is to disconcert a defensive front in order to allow a quick screen pass to a wide receiver with six blockers, or to allow a short run by the running back. Surprise is the main goal of the play, and it is not typically run outside of short-yardage situations.
The play, originally formulated in the 1930s, still retains a modicum of popularity on high school and college teams, where the lesser athleticism of the players will allow the play to be performed with a greater degree of success. An example of the play can be found in the closing scenes of Adam Sandler's remake of the movie ''The Longest Yard'', where Sandler's team executes the play successfully. On October 25, 2014, the Arkansas Razorbacks against Alabama-Birmingham, after lining up in field goal formation, quickly shifted to swinging gate. Left guard Sebastian Tretola dropped off the line to the QB position, took the snap and tossed a six-yard touchdown pass to center Alan D'Appollonio.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UAB vs. Arkansas - Game Recap - October 25, 2014 - ESPN )〕
==Offensive==
The offensive form of the play is rarely run, for the reasons above. However, it does offer several advantages to coaches willing to run it. With five eligible receivers, there are a multitude of targets for the quarterback, though he must get the ball off quickly, before the defense can recover from the initial (presumed) surprise at the unorthodox formation. The receiver at the far left will have six blockers, a crucial advantage for longer situations.
A rushing attack with the formation tends to be useful only in short-yardage situations, as the lack of blockers for the running back will hamper any longer runs. The formation is typically used as a setup for a pass when not used on special teams.
