boot, boot action, waggle, buck passnaked bootlegNaked, or naked bootleg: the same action with nobody assigned to that edge. The fake is the protection, which is what the name is describing. If the defense does not bite, the quarterback is alone with a defensive end.
naked, naked bootbootleg with protection, waggleWaggle is the Wing-T's name for the protected version out of the buck series, where the backside guard pulls to seal the edge and the playside guard leads to take the first defender to show. It is a name for the first sense rather than a third meaning: a waggle is a bootleg, and not every bootleg is a waggle. This is the family and system split from docs/football-knowledge/playbooks.md in one word.
Naked is common at youth level because it needs no protection scheme and the fake usually works on young defensive ends. The same call at varsity is a sack, which is the practical reason the distinction matters more as the level rises.
