What does the defense in football do?

Answer 1

The correct term is the "Defensive end." There are two of them . They are at the end of the defensive line next to the tackle . Either the right or the left or left side . they do not get in a lineman stance but they stand up halfway in a crouch . Their job is to either get past the line of scrimmage and to make sure NOBODY gets past them . When the ball gets on the other side of the line of scrimmage they are the 1st ones to get yelled at .

Answer 2

A defencive end is the 2 players at the end of the defencive line. The defencive end go across the line on the outside shoulder of the offensive end. He then reads the play and the stops the run coming his way or sacks the quarter back.

Answer 3

The defense's main responsibility is to keep the offense from scoring points. The fewer points the other team scores, the better chance you have to win.
