rushing
Carrying the ball
Rushing captures the idea of moving or acting with urgent speed, often implying haste that crowds out care or deliberation.
You might rush to catch a train or rush through homework to get it done.
The noun rushing appears in American football as a technical term for advancing the ball by running rather than passing: He led the league in rushing yards.
A rush of emotion or sensation comes on suddenly and intensely.
If there's no rush, there's no urgency to complete something quickly.
