Players & Positions

[Raiderette619]

Gen gave me a link and I started reading up on positions.
I read about the Center, Guards and tackles.

Someone on the other site(I think Paradigm) broke it down for me who plays these positions on our team. I didn't copy it.
Can someone post that?
That's one of my areas I need to study and to put players and the positions together then I just associate and retain it better in my mind.

Thanks!


The link Gen gave me..

On the o-line you have, from left to right, LT, LG, C, RG, RT. Unfortunately we don't know right now exactly who is playing where, because of the shuffling that's occured so far. But I had to guess I would say our starting OL would be...

LT - Mario Henderson
LG - Bob Gallery
C - Samson Satele
RG - Cooper Carlisle
RT - Khalif Barnes

This could change, as it's been said Barnes was brought in to play LT, but I don't buy it quite yet. Mario could very easily beat him out during TC and end up our opening day LT. Also don't rule out Eric Pears, if he has a good summer he could end up starting at RT instead.

Quarterback (Russell, Walter, Gradkowski)
The player who receives the ball from the center at the start of each play before either handing it to the running back, throwing it to a receiver, or running with it himself.
The quarterback is usually the player in charge of running the offense on the field. He is also the guy that usually informs the offense of the play while in the huddle.

Halfback (McFadden, Fargas, Bush, Rankin)
An offensive player who lines up in the backfield and generally is responsible for carrying the ball on run plays. A running back's primary role is to run with the football, he is also used as a receiver at times.

Fullback (O'Neil, Lawton)
An offensive player who lines up in the offensive backfield and generally is responsible for run-blocking for the halfback and pass-blocking for the quarterback. Fullbacks are usually bigger than halfbacks, and also serve as short-yardage runners.

Wide Receiver (Walker, Higgins, Schilens, Shields)
An offensive player who lines up on or near the line of scrimmage, but split to the outside. His primary job is to catch passes from the quarterback.

Tight End -- (Zach Miller, Tony Stewart)
An offensive player who serves as a receiver and also a blocker. The tight end lines up beside the offensive tackle either to the right or to the left of the quarterback.

Offensive Tackle (Henderson, BArnes, Pears)
A member of the offensive line. There are two tackles on every play, and they line up on the outside of the offensive guards.

Offensive Guard (Gallery, Carslisle)
A member of the offensive line. There are two guards on every play, and they line up on either side of the offensive center.

Center (Satele, Morris, Wade)
The offensive lineman who hikes (or snaps) the ball to the quarterback at the start of each play. The center lines up in the middle of the offensive line, between the offensive guards.



There's a simple breakdown of the offensive positions for you J.

Good link from Gen. Some of the peeps on here dont even know all that stuff. Like split end and flankers are commonly known as Wide Receivers. The difference is the SE lines up ON the line of scrimmage and the FL does not. One player and only one player on each side of the line must line up on the LOS(line of scrimmage) Instead, the TE lines up on the line and it gives the Flanker(FL) more room so the cornerback(CB) has a harder time getting his hands on him to try to prevent him from getting into his route. By the corner aka cornerback jamming/pressing the WR it can throw off the timing of the QB and WR. But all this stuff is probably in that link. Need any help hit me up.

^^^ Thanks or..I'm sure once the season rolls around Imma have lots of questions haha

Flanker, generally speaking, is your money wideout, runs your deeper types of routes; SE, on the other hand, is the opposite... works the middle, runs the short stuff.

On most NFL teams your Linebackers and Safetys are the hard hitters. The defensive line ties up the offensive linemen and the Linebackers shot the gaps and lay the word on the RB. The Strong Safety sometimes lines up in the box (8 in the box) against strong running teams for run support. This is how 31 NFL teams do it.
