It was the end of 6th Grade and his Seth Smith’s grades were dropping quickly. His parents would get on him every night and tell him he had to get his grades up if he wanted to have a fun summer. Not in Summer School. It was the summer of 2012 in San Diego. Seth had gotten his grades up right at the end of 6th Grade. He wanted to play football in the Fall with all of his friends. But his parents wouldn’t let him play because they wanted to see better grades at the start of 7th Grade.…

A friday night football game, the air is smoky from the cheers of the fans. The defense sets up like a brick wall. Jake is looking for someone to get open. His eyes were looking at the uprights. The wall crumbles as the linebacker 98 jumps over the line wrapping around Jake launching him to the ground like a sack of potatoes with a thud. He points at Jake and scream’s, “Whoo! Not in my house!” The buzzer screams… now it’s half time. A great day for football; damp so the cleats stick,…

The cartoon I am analyzing is wildcard #1 of Constitutional Underpinnings. This cartoon symbolizes how our federal government is set up. In football, linebackers of opposing teams always tackle each other. This represents clashing of the Congress and the executive branch.

If you woke up Thursday morning and were freaked out by the reports that four Ohio State players had been suspended for the season opener against Virginia Tech, then you should go back to bed, lay down and take a nap, because this isn't much of a headline. First off, clearly the biggest loss is Joey Bosa, a possible number one overall pick, and the leader of the Ohio State defense. Yet, with all that being said, the Buckeyes will be able to make it out of one game without Bosa against the…

Howard played fairly well last week. Beckwith saw his first regular season action vs the Bears, he wasn't outstanding, but he did show off what he is capable in the time he was on the field. Beckwith played in the entire game as middle linebacker, strong side linebacker and proved he can play both positions more than efficiently. He recorded 5 solo tackles, a pass defend, and a run stuff. The coming contest against the Minnesota Vikings will give Beckwith the chance to shine as he will be…

One of the most important positions on the football field is the defensive line. Most people think that it is all about running to the quarterback but little do they know it is all about technique. A lineman knows the steps to become a good defensive lineman. In order to become a good defensive lineman, a player must line up in a 3 or 5 technique, get in a 3 or 4 point stance, and briefly know the gap responsibility.

running back, and maybe a center two snap the ball. On defense a team has corners, safeties, and maybe a linebacker and defensive lineman. However, in tackle football a team an offensive team is made of five offensive linemen, a quarterback, two or three wide receivers, a running back, and a fullback. A defensive team also has more players like three or four defensive linemen, three linebackers, two corners, and two safeties. The difference in personal in the two types is a result in how the…
