What are the football positions and what are their jobs?

• Answer:

  Quarterback - In complete control of the offense, The Offensive line's main priority! The man who take all the heat for a loss! Runningback - Someone who touches the ball more than 67% of the game! has to be severely in shape! Controls the clock and the pace of the game. Fullback - Makes huge holes for the runningback to run through and occasionally will catch a ball in the flats on short-yardage situations. Wide Receiver - Stretch the field with their speed and catch balls thrown their way to get the ball moving down field! but also an underrated attribute a widereceiver must have is the ability to block for the running game. Offensive Line - PROTECT YOUR QUARTERBACK ! And Recognize blitz pick-ups! Tight End - Occassionally block but almost always fake the block and try to get a quick pass down the field! Primarily used in jumbo packages and goal-line sets. Defense: Defensive Line - Attack Quarterback Linebackers- Recognize whats going on with the lineman! if they're pulling its proabably a run if they're pass blocking its almost always a pass and get into coverage. defensive back - the most important part of a defense is the ability to sell the pass rush and at the last second sink back into coverage and try to pick off the quarterback. kick returners - used to try and get as good as possible field position! or maybe take one to the house for an easy 6points. punter - punt the ball as far and as high as you can allowing the team to get to him before he can catch in forcing him to call a fair catch. kicker - put the ball in between the uprights and you get 3 points.
