In the NFL blocking is often determined by the defensive player positioning. Usually the center comes to the line and points and calls out the blocking assignments. Sometimes the quarterback may see a situation he recognizes and assigns someone to block a player he thinks is going to try to tackle him before he can pass the ball or he recognizes the player is filling the gap where they intended to run the ball and assigns aplayer to block him.

∙ 10y agoThey're identifying the middle linebacker (AKA the Mike linebacker or MLB). Most offensive lines use a numbering scheme that begins with the MLB. Since the MLB will align differently against various offensive formations, the offensive linemen seek to point him out, so they know where the numbering system begins and what everyone else's numbers are. It also helps the running backs identify the blitz easier, since, in certain protection schemes, the running back will be responsible for picking up the MLB coming up the middle on what's called an A-gap blitz.

In football what is flag guarding?
The guard is the position on the offensive line that is directly to the right or left of the center (there is a right and left guard). Next to the guards on the outside are the offensive tackles. The guards protect the quarterback on passing plays, and run block (run up the field blocking) on running plays. On running plays the guard can pull meaning after the snap he quicly runs over to the other side of the line and blocks for the running back. This leaves a hole on the side he was originally on but gives the side the running-back is running to an extra blocker.

Why does Aaron Rodgers say 319?
It's "green" 18, not "3" 18. It's the start of his snap count. The ball is then snapped on a one or two count following. He conditions the defense to assume that the ball will be snapped on one or two. He then sometimes shouts an exaggerated hut-hut following green-18 but the ball is not snapped (called a "hard count") to try to draw the defense offside. The hard count only works if the quarterback has been consistent in his pattern up to that point.
