Anthony Munoz is often cited as the 'prototype' for the modern offensive left tackle. Of course, old timers will tell you that the skill level of all offensive lineman who played after the NFL liberalized the passing rules in the late 70s is suspect. The NFL wanted to encourage more passing so it forbade corners from roughing up receivers and allowed linemen more liberal use of their hands. Munoz played after this change.

Is the term black man offensive?

Currently no, but at one time it was. Trends for these things change over time. It used to be that "black" was considered offensive and "coloured" was considered better (hence the name of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the USA), but now coloured/colored is very old-fashioned and may be considered offensive if used by a white person. Of course, the term "black man" might be considered somewhat offensive if used in a situation where there was no need to mention the man's colour at all.

What is a four point stance in football?

Feet and hands count as 'points'. A four point stance is generally associated with defensive linemen and means the lineman has both hands on the ground at the line of scrimmage at the time of the snap. Obviously, the lineman will have both feet on the ground so that counts for two 'points'. If a lineman also has both hands on the ground, that would be two more 'points' for a total of four. A three point stance is when the lineman has one hand on the ground. A two point stance is where the lineman does not touch the ground with either of his hands.
