[@redautumn5441]

friends told me i would be a really good linebacker, this helped a lot and i think i will check out football finally now

[@LKAT45]

Howd it go

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

I remember as a kid when my dad told me, "Defensive lineman try to get to the QB/RB and take up blockers. Defensive backs cover anyone going down field and linebackers are pretty much the guy who is able to get to the ball carrier and tackle him". He called them tackling machines and told me to look at the stats for each team to see which positions had the most tackles. It was the LBs. Although, this was the early 90s when football was run heavy; nowadays I'd guess safeties are right up there on a lot of teams when it comes to total tackles.

Helped me a lot I’m 15 and this my first time playing football and I needed this

Thanks I really needed it it’s my first football game today and I’m linebacker

[@yee9167]

First time playing organized Football ever. I was pushed to join my high school team by my friends, and here I am. Despite constantly paying attention, I don’t understand most things. All I know is that the Sam calls “Louie Louie” or “Roger Roger” depending on the Tight End, the Mike goes on the Sam’s side on the 20 or 30 technique, and the Will is on the opposite side. I don’t exactly know which gap to step towards, I keep getting everything mixed up.

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

Highly recommend you meet 1 on 1 with your coach and ask them to explain everything step by step. They can help you clear things up. Bring a notebook too so you can write it down. Good luck!

[@user-mb5sz7pk5i]

Next year is going to be my sophomore season and I’m a relatively new player(started freshman year) I played lineman the whole season and I am thinking about trying middle linebacker especially because I’m undersized for the line. Im not that smart in the world of football and I was wondering where I can go and what I can’t do to get that football iq

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

viqtorysports.com will help!

[@cbaileychamp]

Watch the game. Learn as much as you can by absorbing everything. If you can learn algebra you can learn football. Buy madden and control ILBs and OLBs. Learn what they are suppose to do. Learn about gaps and passing concepts. Good luck and have fun.

[@marktimeny1488]

From a betting or fantasy football perspective which type of Linebacker is Generally the most likely to get tackles and Assists , a middle lineback , a strongside linebacker or a weakside linebacker ?

[@stonebreakerttv]

Thank you so much.

All I know is middle LB just watch the middle of the field and the QB/RB. While I think one of the outside linebackers guard the tight end and cover the flat?

This is really helpful bc I'm 11 and I'm a LB with 15 yr olds

Really work hard on getting your eyes to your target and proper footwork when working toward a ball carrier. Never cross your feet over each other and stay square as long as possible!
