The "Gunner" position, which is on punting special teams, lines up like a wide out and their goal is to the first one to tackle the returner or down the football in strategic situations. The term on defense of "blitz" derives from the German word "blitzkrieg" meaning lightning war. Although, the term is more like the act of blitzkrieg which is essentially to attack with speed and surprise.
