Know Your Football Positions
Uncategorized — By Mia Jackson on August 25, 2010 at 11:54 PMJust learning the game? Here’s a brief breakdown of positions on the field during a typical game. The players may change based on the offensive or defensive scheme. Also, there are different setups for special teams plays, such as the punting unit or kickoff return team. We’ll deal with those more thoroughly throughout the season. Also, we’ll go through the nuances of each position in the Weekly Wink, the Sideline Pass Newsletter, beginning next Tuesday! Next, thanks to Patty, we’ll have a breakdown of Fantasy Football. Look for it.

I am teaching my grandson what players go with what positions and this is just what I was looking for. Thanks..
Great site with great articles! I loved this part…for years I wondered what was really happening on the field
I am so glad I was introduced to this site. This is so helpful for those of us who are “less sports inclined.” Keep up the great work!
