The "pocket" is a horseshoe shaped area formed by offensive linemen that drop back and protect the quarterback during a pass play. In theory, if the quarterback remains within the pocket, he will have sufficient time to find a receiver and throw a pass. If defensive players penetrate the pocket before the pass is thrown, the quarterback is either sacked or forced to run out of the pocket...and then he's on his own.
When one or more of the linebackers (and occasionally defensive backs) directly attacks the offensive backfield (where the quarterback and halfback are). The intent of a run blitz is to prevent the offense from effectively running the ball. The run blitz can be countered with a pass, as less defenders are prepared for a pass.
It is important to check with the court to make sure you are eligible to take the defensive driving course before you take it. Also make sure if you decide to take an online defensive driving course that it is approved by your state.
Quarterback make the ball to touchdown with the power 5 Nickelbacks!
This happens when when a defensive player runs across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. The offensive line can not flinch to make the defensive player run offsides.
Whatever position you have, do it right. if your are a lienman, block for yoru quarterback. if your a defensive lineman, get through, make some tackles, and some sacks. If your a cornerback, make sure the wr doesn't get the ball. Simple things you have to do to catch the eye for a football scout.
No, an offensive player can make a "reception." A reception can be made by a wide receiver, tight end, running back, fullback, and in rare (trick play) scenarios, even the quarterback. An interception is made by a defensive player who "intercepts" the intended, eligible receiver.
Every player's position is important. The center hikes the ball to the QB. No center, no hiking the ball. He's also the closest one to the QB, so if he doesn't block well, the QB would get sacked every time. The Center is responsible for calling the blocking assignments of the offensive line and spotting the key defensive players, usually the middle linebacker and, if they are playing up close to the line of scrimmage, the safeties.
When two players reach the quarterback at the same time and make the tackle, the sack is divided between the two players. Same with tackles ... you might see in the game's statistics where a defensive player had 5.5 tackles. This is because, when two players are responsible for bringing the ball carrier down, regardless of whether it is the quarterback or another offensive player, the sack/tackle is divided between the two defensive players.
The Defensive Line can be set up in more than one way but the positions somewhat remain the same. Defensive End/Defensive Tackle/Nose Guard The only difference is would be the way they line up.
