Actually, IMO, the ones that made this thread great are GoChiefs, Direckshun, and the others who were patient enough to answer questions as simply as they could.
Thanks guys. I appreciate it! |

In my book, I'm on some chapter going over really basic stuff. The field, the ball, the game clock, the teams, the officials, the scoreboard, and how the game is played.

I'll ask it here instead of the thread I thought of it in. Besides position on the field, what are the differences between playing guard and tackle?

It's easier to play guard.......speed rushers play DE, and if you are just a big slow guy they'll run around you.

We haven't won a playoff game since 1993. ![]() Since that last playoff win, we've had home-field advantage in the playoffs twice (that means every playoff game you play is played in your home stadium). We've lost in the first playoff game both times. The Chiefs have never drafted and developed a quarterback of their own. The Chiefs were really good from 1960 - 1973 Then they really sucked from 1974 - 1988 They were really good from 1989 - 1997 We've been mediocre since 1997, with only one season that qualifies as "great."

DT Buck Buchanan (SB team) WR Otis Taylor (SB team) LB Derrick Thomas LB Willie Lanier (SB team) And many, many more.

You'll often see offensive tackles that can't hack it moved inside to guard - like we're doing with John Welbourn this year, a guy who has played some offensive tackle for us in the past (poorly, most of the time).

In contrast, the guard has a more narrow passing lane to defend and is typically going against a more powerful but less athletic pass rusher. The job of the guards and center is to keep the DT (and any blitzes from the middle) from collapsing the pocket and applying pressure up the in the middle of the line. Pressure from the middle is the most difficult for the defense to achieve, but also the most disruptive to the QB and the other team's offense. This is because when the QB passes, he wants to step up into the pocket. QBs throw better when their momentum is moving forward when they release the ball. Pressure from the middle disrupts this. In general, the job of OL on passing plays is to engage the DL while moving slightly backward. An OL wants to keep his body between the DL and the QB. On running plays things are the exact opposite; the OL are trying to push the DL and LB down field to make room for the RB. Normally the OL is trying to open a hole for the RB. This normally involves coordination between the movement in the backfield and the angles that the OL engage the DL. This can get extremely complicated and is almost impossible to show without diagramming plays. The run blocking skills that you want from your lineman depend on the running game strategy that your team employs. However, in gerneral, guards need to have enough foot speed that they can pull our of their normal position in the line to lead a sweep around the end of the line. This is only the tip of the iceberg, but gives a basic idea. |
