  1. Offense Positions

  2. Center • Main job is to snap ball to quarterback to start play. • After ball is snapped, the center needs to help block.

  3. Linemen • Right and left guard, right and left tackle, and center. • The job of the lineman is to block the defensive line and keep them from getting tackles. • Linemen are very import for an offense to do well.

  4. Tight End • The tight end is a special player. He can act as both a receiver or he can block like a lineman. • He lines up outside of the tackle on the right or the left side of the line.

  5. Wide Receiver(s) • A wide receiver is a play who lines up on or near the line of scrimmage, but more towards the sidelines. • There are usually two wide receivers. There job is to run a route an catch passes. • If there is a receiver lined up on the same side of the field as the tight end, that receiver needs to back off the line of scrimmage. • The receiver on the side opposite the tight end must be on the line of scrimmage.

  6. Tight End Line of scrimmage Since this receiver is on the same side as the tight end, he needs to be back, off the line of scrimmage.

  7. Quarterback • The quarterback is the player who takes the snap from the center at the start of each play. • He will do different things depending on the play called. The quarterback can either pass the ball, hand it off to a running back, or he can run it himself. • The quarterback also tells the play call to the rest of the offense in the huddle.

  8. Fullback • The fullback is one of the two running backs, in the “I” formation. He lines up about 3 yards behind the quarterback, in a 3-point stance. • The main job of the fullback is to run the ball up the middle, or to help block. This defensive lineman is in a 3-point stance, just like the fullback would be. All lineman are also in 3-point stances.
