Do not stick you arm out to early because the defensive player will read it and play through it.  Wait until the D-fence player gets close and then throw it out hard.  Do not leave it out to long, it may cause you to lose balance or lose the ball.  All though the helmet is the #1 target, the shoulder pads work well too.  You might be able to get the opposing player to lose their balance and create a little separation.  Separation is what you want, and it does not take much to break a tackle.

D/B stands for defensive back, which refers to safeties and cornerbacks.  It basically just means the people who cover the receivers.

Defense is all in effort, don't give up on any play! Other than that stay low and on your toes and keep your feet moving.

Defenses come out in a predetermined formation. Once they see what the offense lines up against them, they make adjustments to best guard the offense. Each player has specific assignments. For example, the linebackers line up according to formation and then read the guards first movements. It can get very complicated for each specific player, but that is why each player only worries about his specific job. Blitzes are called before the play, and can be called off with an audible or change in the play. The coverage by the defensive backs is usually either a zone coverage or a man-to-man coverage. So basically, the formation is predetermined, adjusted to best match up against the offense, and then each player takes care of his own specific assignment.

ok 270 is too much for linebacker and tight end. Get down to 245 and I would put you at full back. So you can block get some carries and even catch a couple balls. On defense yes of course linebacker. Getting you down to 245 will make you faster so you can play middle linebacker, not outside linebacker because outsider backers did to be a little smaller and quicker. Inside backers can stop the run and the short throws. It is a very important position. Good Luck!

There is no least important position in Football as it is the ultimate team sport.  If one person doesn't do their assignment, the whole play is shot!\n\nThe most important is the O line.  It doesn't matter if you have the best QB in the world, if he doesn't have the time to throw it to the best reciever in the world.  If you have an average RB behind a good line, he will have more yards than a great RB behind a crap line.  An O line that can block for 4 yards every run play then opens up the QB to do his thing and get all the glory.\n\nOn defense, it is the D line.  They are the ones who fill the holes up front against the run, taking blocks and jamming the line, allowing the Linebackers to get the tackles.  Most DB interceptions happen because the D line has pressure the QB into a bad throw.

Application\nThe application of the offside law is best considered in three steps; Offside position, Offside offence and Offside sanction.\n\n[edit]\nOffside position\n \nThe red forward on the left of the diagram is in an offside position as he is both in front of the second last defender (marked by the stippled line) and the ball.A player is in an offside position if "he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent", unless he is in his own half of the field of play. A player level with the second last opponent is considered to be in an onside position. Note that the last two opposing players can be either the goalkeeper and another outfield player, or two outfield players. Also note that offside position is determined when the ball is touched/played by a team-mate — a player's offside position status is not then altered by them or opposing players running forwards or backwards. It is important to note that being in an offside position is not an offence in itself. Another important point to note is that any player's offside position status is reset when an opponent touches the ball and is deemed by the referee to be in control of the ball.\n\n[edit]\nOffside offence\nA player in an offside position is only committing an offside offence if, "at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team", the player is in the referee's opinion involved in active play by: interfering with play; interfering with an opponent; or gaining an advantage by being in that position.\n\nDetermining whether a player is in "active play" can be complex. A player is not committing an offside offence if the player receives the ball directly from a throw-in, goal kick or corner kick.\n\nFIFA issued new guidelines for interpreting the offside law in 2003 and these were incorporated in law 11 in July 2005. The new wording seeks to more precisely define the three cases as follows:\n\nInterfering with play means playing or touching the ball passed or touched by a teammate. \nInterfering with an opponent means preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision or movements or making a gesture or movement which, in the opinion of the referee, deceives or distracts an opponent. \nGaining an advantage by being in an offside position means playing a ball that rebounds to him off a post or crossbar or playing a ball that rebounds to him off an opponent having been in an offside position. \nIn practice, a player in an offside position may be penalised before playing or touching the ball if, in the opinion of the referee, no other team-mate in an onside position has the opportunity to play the ball.\n\nThe referees' interpretation of these new definitions is still proving controversial until this day, largely over what movements a player in an offside position can make without being judged to be interfering with an opponent.\n\n[edit]\nOffside sanction\nThe sanction for an offside offence is an indirect free kick to the opposing team, at the spot where the offence occurred. Most referees use their discretion and let play go on if the "offended" team already has the advantage or ball, in order not to slow down play with redundant free kicks that achieve the same purpose of giving the advantage or ball back to the "offended" team.\n\n[edit]\nOfficiating\nIn enforcing this rule, the referee depends greatly on his assistant referee, who generally keeps in line with the second last defender in his relevant end (exact positioning techniques are more complex).\n\nThe assistant referees' task with regards to off-side can be difficult, as they need to keep up with attacks and counter attacks, consider which players are in an offside position when the ball is played (often from the other end of the field), and then determine whether the offside positioned players become invo

I played D-Line in College.  The most important thing is to stay low and get your hands inside the numbers of the O-lineman.  This will create leverage.  You can then discard the lineman and purse the play.  ALWAYS pursue the play and take a good angle.  You might not make the tackle but the extra effort could result in a fumble recovery.

HMMmmmm\n\nMy answer is - you play where the coach puts you.\n\nwhy??\nBecause Linebacker and Safety - both being suitable to your size - require a lot of football knowledge that you lack...otherwise you wouldn't ask the question.\n\nThere are some teams that are so low in the leagues, or so diminished in skill level, they might actually consider you for a linebacker position.\n\nWith your strength and size...if you were on my team, I would start you at Defensive Tackle...unless you ran the 40 in something like 4.4 - then I'd put you at Defensive End. \n\nYou have a lot to learn about football first...and the way my Defense is set today...you might just end up on the offensive line.
