I do too on go. I didn't play WR much, but I liked running the go because I was fast. You look even faster if you catch someone off guard and blow by them. If you drop one though, man do you look stupid. Nothing better than being past the coverage.

I played corner *cough* hardest position on the field *cough*

Dwayne Jarret almost blew by me on a post but I PIed him :)

Maybe thats why I have been so passionate in this thread lol

I was just an average player on a pretty good football team in a small little town called South River - we are on the map for guys like Pearson and Theeezman though,

Oh and no baby talk ever, got that? Good.

Ok, sorry....:laugh2:


One more stupid question from a stupid Cowboy fan.

I understand or see the logic of why on the oline the center is the center, the guard is the guard, the recievers are the recievers and the tight end is the tight end, BUT why is the "tackle" named the tackle? I mean he don't tackle anyone?

:confused:






(oh, oh, here it comes)...

Because you want him to tackle the DE or OLB before you let him kill your QB. :lmao:

Pictures are always better than words... I tried words but I was using geometry terms like obtuse and acute and confused myself lol

A little nugget, a post got its name from running towards the goal POST.


But....but...coach.................?

Whoever the tackle is that lines up across Ware tackles.

Good Q though. I am stumped.

Old timers?

Actually they used to be called Ends, because they were on the end of the line.

I think Tackle came from them being the outer limits of the "tackle box" similar to the pocket. Not sure on that though.

I never thought to ask that question. Why is a bird called a bird? :laugh2: And if I did ask it my coach would have sent me off running winning sprints for being a smart ars

Wow, that does make sense if you think about it like that! But, to not carry on, I have tons more questions about this game called football, however, I won't annoy any of you guys any longer with my stupidity!

Post, Skinny post, Corner.

Skinny posts aren't necessarily ran towards the goal post.

That's a funky goal post!
