If you are going to try to make fun of GM,  you need to at least understand that it is a pass, and not a lateral,  [B]behind[/B] the line of scrimmage as long as the ball is moving forward from the point of release.

You are not alone in this either, but there is also a fundamental misunderstanding of the bubble screen in the spread O. There is almost always a zone read option (inside running play) depending on how the D is aligned or adjusts to the formation. Pre-snap, the QB is reading the defense to determine the number in the box, among a couple of other things. The intent is to force the D to make a decision on what to defend, how many to keep in the box, what will or wont work from a blitz package, and so on.

The bubble is not run as a singluar play in isolation in the spread. It is part of an overall philosophy of how to make a defense react and how to try to take advantage of that. Lots of teams run the bubble so that they can create inside zone read [B]running[/B] opportunities.
