Il s'agit ici de football américain, pas de soccer. Le football américain se joue par étape (appelé "tentatives" ou "essais") plutôt que plus ou moins continuellement comme dans le soccer.

Indice fourni par M. Desjardins: "Blue 42".
Juste avant le levé du ballon, le quart-arrière cri "DOWN SET" (tous les joueurs à l'attaque qui sont immobiles doivent rester immobiles, ceux en mouvement doivent rester en mouvement) suivi d'une série de codes pour indiquer si on modifie le jeu choisi au préalable (par ex. "green 56 yellow 23 pink 16"). Ensuite il crie un certain nombre de "hut" (décidé, aussi, d'avance par le quart-arrière), le ballon est levé et le jeu (the play) est commencé.
