As the safety creeps up from his normal position in the defensive backfield closer to the line of scrimmage, you are struck by déjà vu. You have seen this play before; the blitz is coming. Without hesitation, you shout a secretive code word to your offensive line. You look to your sides, and see your receivers lined up 20 yards away near the out-of-bounds line. .
