One of best explanations of american football positions without being too vague or too descriptive.

[@MichaelHopcroft]

Watching a football game with football players, as I did in college, provides a unique perspective. They told that, reputation aside, offensive linemen are some of the smartest people on the field. Their roles are often described as "applied geometry".

[@americandissident9062]

This is true. The QB and the center are often the smartest on the team. The TE is often highly intelligent as well, and many FBs have good smarts. Seems that blocking requires intelligence. The TE has to block almost as often as the offensive line and then also know when to run a route.

[@Domo713]

My family had always been big on football but I never gave it a true shot…. Superbowl this past Sunday was my first EVER full football game watched all the way through and I fell in love!!

Man, im saftey and i absolutely love my position and i had no idea how to play all i knew was to stop whoever has the ball or do blitz and go in on line or corner back and know i understand the game a lot more thanks!

[@notmyuseristolethis]

Honestly american football is more analogous to chess than association football. Different positions with different strengths and weakness all needing to be used in such a way to overcome the strategies of the other team. Anticipating their next moves in order to find weaknesses in their offensive/defensive tactics. For a sport thats stereotyped as having a meathead fanbase, it has a lot going on under the surface.

[@LurksLessons]

I absolutely love this analogy, and you're spot on. To build on it, unlike Chess pieces that follow their designated moves, the element of human unpredictability is significant. You can devise the perfect strategy to outmaneuver your opponent, but the excitement of the game is heightened by unforeseen events like a dropped pass, a twisted ankle, or even the ball being dropped before crossing the goal line for a touchdown celebration. All of it makes you yearn for the next slate of games to come around.

[@TheTrueWelshIdiot]

This is a great video to start. But honestly, it's not that bad. As soon as you learn that a team are just trying to get 10 yards, and have 4 attempts to do so (shown on TV by trying to get from the blue line to the yellow line), and if they make it, they get another 4 attempts to make the next 10 yards, you have it. So all 1st attempts are 1st and 10. If they make say, three yards it's 2nd and 7 (yards to go). That's it really. One you get that, the rest falls into place.

[@Ajajambo]

[@Scoupe400]

Coming from the UK I would’ve understood very little of this except star roles, but hammering 2K NFL for a few years I learnt all these spots except a couple subtleties - great to learn thanks. What I’ve never learnt is some of the rules such as who’s allowed to line up where, who is eligible to receive, offside etc.

[@Literally-God]

If there's one thing I've learned from watching football for years, it's that you'll never stop learning new things. In some games there will be rules even the announcers (who may even be former NFL players themselves) weren't even aware of.

[@GregFalcon]

The formation rules aren't that bad. An offense must have seven players within a yard of the line of scrimmage ("on the line"), and the other four players lined up farther back. All players in the backfield are eligible receivers. Of the seven on the line, the two outside players are eligible, and the five in the middle (almost always the center, guards, and tackles) are ineligible. The two outside players that complete the line will vary: for example, if a tight end and wide receiver are lined up on the same side of the field, one will be on the line and the other a yard back, but either arrangement is allowed. This is a lot for the players and refs to follow, so restricted jersey numbers are used to make it manageable. Ineligible players wear jersey numbers in the 50-79 range; other numbers are eligible. A formation is illegal when a player with an eligible number lines up in an ineligible position or vice versa (unless they declare themselves to the refs, this is occasionally done and will be announced over the PA). In practice, a violation of this rules happens when a tight end and WR on the same side of the field are both on the line. If this illegal formation penalty is announced, the wide receiver will be said to be "covering" the tight end (who is thus ineligible while wearing an eligible number). On passing plays, the ineligible receivers aren't allowed to go more than a yard downfield -- this prevents them from confusing or hindering defensive backs. If a pass is thrown in this situation, the penalty is "ineligible man downfield". When this happens in practice, it's usually because a play has broken down, and a scrambling QB throws an unplanned desperation pass without realizing a lineman is downfield. Offsides is straightforward: players on either side of the ball must line up entirely behind the ball. The narrow strip of field the length of the football is called the "neutral zone"; it's offsides against either team if a player is lined up with any part of their body in the neutral zone.

[@aarekivi]

I never knew that each team had so many different roles. So, depending on if your team is on offense or defense, you'll have different players/roles on the field and there are infinite substitutions? It feels weird to me that half the team is resting while waiting to again be in the correct phase of the game to play. Or do teams sometimes field a mix of offensive and defensive players in case they steal the ball and have a chance of turning defense into offense?

[@douglascavanaugh5160]

No mix. After a turnover (fumble recovery or interception by a defender), play continues until he is either tackled, runs out of bounds, or scores a touchdown. If he does not score a touchdown, the clock stops and play does not resume until the opposing offensive and defensive teams come onto the field. You must not think like Euro football or basketball where the players can be on offense or defense in any given moment. Rather, each team has an offense and defense and each of those teams come onto the field depending on who takes possession of the ball.

I know this is the basics, but The only thing I would change is that Defensive Tackles aren’t necessarily Nose Tackles as well depending on the base formation and team uses. A nose tackle is more for occupying blockers and taking up space allowing linebackers and safeties to fly through the line freely over their pure pass rushing ability

I am an indian just trying to understand this great game .

[@jimnewl]

The key thing to grasp is that American football is essentially a stylized wargame. Two armies are clashing on a battlefield, with the goal being to advance the ball all the way to the opposing endzone, capturing territory as they go. If the advancing army fails to reach its goal within the limits of the prescribed rules (a whole other podcast in itself), the enemy army takes possession of the ball and tries to advance it in just the same way in the other direction. The general idea is to get the ball across the opposing endline as often as possible, while preventing the enemy from getting across one's own. Each team has its own separate offensive and defensive squads. One specializes in attacking, the other in defending. And all of the fancy plays that each side draws up for its players to carry out are exactly analogous to the battle plans of generals on the battlefield, with all of the same maneuvers: massed attacks, feints, flanking, etc. Football is a fascinating and surprisingly brainy game, however it may appear to the casual onlooker.

Yeah, I’m going to assume you are more familiar with rugby and soccer (as the concept of both teams on the field at the same time pertain to those sports). Think of football as a tactical-specialized rugby, instead of constant playing it is a play-stop-play-stop. But in those stops on between plays the offense must choose a play and the defense must choose a scheme. The offense and defense switch either when the offense scores points or if the defense forces a stop or a turnover.

American Football: a 60 minute game that lasts 3 hours, with 11 minutes of total action.

Played at maximum speed and intensity. You’ll see nobody jogging.

just got madden because of ea play and man this sport is so much better now that i understand it

[@jakeetc7736]

Outside linebackers (such as Pittsburgh Steelers weak side -often left outside- linebacker TJ Watt) do defend the run, cover tight ends, sometimes running backs, or even wide receivers in the passing game, and pass-rush, but pass-rushing and stopping the run is much more common, they're most often edges/edge rushers with some coverage skills. A Middle/Inside Linebacker Will likely stay back and defend the run or drop back into coverage (take San Francisco 49ers Middle Linebacker Fred Warner).
