There are many different types of screen plays, but essentially, the screen play is used to take advantage of an aggressive or blitzing defense. The defense is allowed to rush the quarterback but then, at the correct moment, the ball is released to an offensive player. Then, the offensive blockers, who just let the defensemen pass them, are free to block for the ball carrier.
