The roll-out, or running, pass is usually a short pass-five or six yards-and can be «thrown» into the flat easily. It is usually a true option run-pass which helps offset a strong pass rush from the inside. Although it doesn’t take a great passer to execute this play, the roll-out pass does require a considerable amount of time and practice to perfect. The quarterback sprints out at controlled speed, while holding the ball in a «ready position» and looks immediately to the area he is running toward. 1, record 11, English, - roll%2Dout%20pass

Le quart-arrière a toujours l'option de courir avec le ballon si la défensive a beaucoup reculé pour la couverture de passe. L'action vers l'extérieur, le «roll-out pass», est utilisé seulement si une passe est effectuée, c'est pourquoi souvent on utilise «sprint-out» indépendamment s'il y a passe ou non car «roll-out pass» exige que le jeu soit à sa fin. En français, on utilise "passe hors l'aile" car ce jeu préconise une passe. Le quart peut couvrir mais ne le fera que si la couverture de passe défensive est bonne. 1, record 11, French, - passe%20hors%20l%27aile
