If an offensive lineman moves, a false start penalty will be called. It is not fair to the defense if the lineman moves before the snap because it would give the offense a huge advantage.

What is the difference between a nose guard and a nose tackle?

The positions are functionally interchangable in that both positions line up "nose-to-nose" with the middle offensive lineman, the Center; the difference comes in why and how the player finds himself lined up in this manner.A normal four-man defensive line generally lines up against a normal five-man offensive line as follows ("o" = offensive linemen, including "O", the Center; "x" = defensive linemen; underscores "_" = gaps):o_o_O_o_o_x_x_x_x_That is, the defensive linemen line up in the gaps between the offensive linemen.Some run defenses call for a five-man defensive line. Adding a defensive linemen makes the number of offensive and defensive linemen the same, allowing the defensive linemen to line up directly over their offensive counterparts. The additional defensive lineman (shown as the capitalized "X" below) brought in to line up *nose*-to-nose with the Center in a five-man defensive line is properly referred to as a *NOSE GUARD*:o_o_O_o_ox_x_X_x_xWhen a defensive formation calls for a three-man defensive line, one of the DTs leaves the field, leaving one DT and two defensive ends on the defensive line:o_o_O_o_o_x_x___x_To fill the large gap, the remaining DT (see the bolded "x" below) shifts over and lines up directly over the Center to cover the territory normally covered by he and the absent DT together:o_o_O_o_o_x__x__x_A defensive *tackle* who is playing in a formation that requires him to line up *nose*-to-nose with the Center is properly referred to as a *NOSE TACKLE* for plays in which he has shifted in this manner.


What is rush defense in rugby?

When implementing the 'Man-on-Man' defensive system, a defending player marks his opposite number whenever possible. So for example, the defending fly-half will mark and pursue the opposition fly-half off a scrum. The goal is to quickly and directly attack the opposite number in order to pressure them into a mistake or to quickly smother and disrupt any offensive patterns.The Man-on-Man rugby defense serves as the basis for the 'blitz' or 'rush' defense (many claim they are the same or would be if done properly) and can be brutally effective when implemented wellIf the opposition offense brings an extra man into the attacking line, the defenders continue to cover their opposite man (not necessarily their opposite number) and continue to move up together. As a result of this marking pattern, the last outside player in the attacking move is unmarked when an extra man is brought into the line. In order to contain the outside man, the defense will often try and force the offense to the sideline while the fullback (typically) will fill in the defensive line and mark the once-uncovered outside man in the attacking line.
