Quarterback

The offensive line has to keep the quarterback and the running back safe sometimes the running back blocks for the quarterback so he can pass the ball to the wide receivers or the tight end. The tight end is kind of a special position they block and go out for passes. The defensive line helps open up holes for the linebackers to get…

America and the president think and call Colin Kaepernick. Activist. Brave. Confident. Hero. All these words are just a small portion of what NFL players think and call Colin Kaepernick. Why is there such a radical divide on opinion of the quarterback? During the month of August, 2016, a photo of Colin Kaepernick sitting during the national anthem went viral. From then on, Kaepernick continued to protest for the rest of the football games. Although Kaepernick decided to start kneeling…

for a gain of 22 to move the chains. We saw a few good throws out of Trask throughout the night, as he finished 4-7 for 63 yards, like Appleby he could not find the end zone but delivered some decent drives.

In recent years, the Florida Gators have statistically been one of the worst field goal making teams in the country. Jim McElwain…

Friday nights held a special place in the hearts of the people in Floodwood. The bright lights and the game of football are what everyone looked forward to on those nights. My town was one of the smallest towns in my area with a population of five hundred people. It was small but close knit place, where you knew everyone and everyone knew you. There was one main road leading in and out of town and the rest of them were dirt. One of the perks of living in such a small town was that you got to…

though some kids knew they wouldn’t play they still gave it their all on the sideline. The defense got a three and out stop not letting the other team score and that was my cue to go onto the field. Nine other players and I formed a huddle with our quarterback and waited for him to say the play coach suggested. We run to the line of scrimmage, I check in with the referee to make sure a foot is on the line. As I look at the kid across from me i know he’s thinking what i’m thinking and that is we…

each week, and I am going to show you a simple one that even beginners can follow and have some success.

rivals. When Jerrel and Alvin were in highschool they didn’t meet each other until they both tried out for quarterback for the football team. Jerrel had a rich dad and went to a lot of QB camps so he was one the best quarterbacks in the nation. Alvin on the other hand was poor, the only food he could get was the food at school and he didn’t know what he was doing when he was trying out for quarterback. Alvin wasn’t a big dude. He’s 5’10” and 200 pounds and he couldn’t throw for crap, but he was…

In The Perks of Being a Wallflower the football quarterback is gay, but too afraid to admit he is gay. The novel shows the negative experiences a LGBTQ person may encounter. For example, the quarterback, Brad, was not comfortable with his sexuality and used alcohol and drugs as a cover. When Brad’s boyfriend described the circumstance he explained, “‘Brad doesn’t want people…
