What do football Defensive ends do?

Answer 1

The tight end is an offensive player. He has two jobs. On running plays, he blocks for the running back. On passing plays, he is a receiver, i. e. he catches passes. Since he is usually bigger and slower than the wide receivers, he does not usually run deep routes down field but shallow to moderate depth routes. The defensive end's job is to sack the quarterback or tackle the runner.
He usually block in outside runs and sometimes is send to run reverses, lastly he also can be send to catch passes

There are several variations of defensive lineman: Nose guard, Nose tackle,Tackle, End

Answer 4

Generally, their job is to attack the offense from the outsides/"ends" of the offensive front line. They go after the quarterback on passing plays, and stop the runner on running plays. One of their key functions is to secure "outside containment", not letting runners get to the outsides of the field after receiving the ball in the backfield (from a QB hand-off or a reverse play).

Again, these responsibilities are general. It can vary with different defensive plays.
