The Play Key
Every snap is tagged with a real named play — a hole number for runs, a receiver & route for passes. The engine picks the play to match your game plan, so your calls show up right in the box score.
How to read a call
Run — hole & scheme
27 HB C Slant
27 = hole 2, the 7 gap · HB halfback (2x) or FB fullback (3x)
C = counter (misdirection) · scheme = Draw / Dive / Trap / Slant / Sweep / Power / Toss / Zone
A trailing word (Toss, Iso, Power, Wham, Delay…) is the scheme's flavour on that call — the play resolves on the scheme, not the word
QB keepers show as 11 QB Draw / 18 QB Bootleg

Reading the log: dial up Deep passing to your X receiver and you'll see more 68 X Post at 30; run heavy Sweep and you'll see 28 HB Sweep. The route name is texture — the yard depth and your game plan drive the sim.
