Flea flicker ( American football ) A flea flicker is an unorthodox play ( often called a trick play ) in American football designed to fool the defensive team into thinking that a play is a run instead of a pass . It can be considered an extreme variant of the play action pass and an extension of the halfback option play . After the snap the quarterback hands off or laterals the football to a running back ( or another player on his team ) , who then runs towards or parallel to the line of scrimmage . Before the running back crosses the line of scrimmage , he laterals the football back to the quarterback , who then looks for an eligible receiver down field to throw a pass to . If the defensive players think it is just a normal running play , they will leave their defensive positions guarding against the pass to run upfield and cover the running back , leaving the quarterback free from any immediate pass rush , and leaving receivers potentially open to catch a pass . The flea flicker is an extremely high - risk play and it often results in a big gain , a turnover , or a big loss . One problem is that it takes a significant amount of time for the play to develop . During that time , the defense might get past the offensive line to tackle the running back before he can make the pitch to the quarterback , or sack the quarterback before he can throw the ball . Then there is also the risk that the running back could fumble if he is hit as he pitches the ball . Because of these risks the play is rarely used in a game . Origins . The creation of the play has been credited to former University of Illinois coach Bob Zuppke who wrote in a 1951 letter he introduced the play while coaching at Oak Park and River Forest High School in 1910 . Zuppke stated he intended the phrase to evoke the imagery of " the quick flicking action of a dog getting rid of fleas . " Notable examples . Some flea flicker plays have been used in many key National Football League games , including the Super Bowl , leading to dramatic results .
