I like football pretty well. And I’ve been a Steelers fan since the early 1970s. And I even played a little bit (by which I mean a LITTLE bit). But there’s a lot I don’t know about play design, player evaluation, and the finer points of position play. So, it would be great if some of y’all could help out with some definitions. This is not exhaustive (and if anyone has any more, please feel free to add them in). But what do you mean by…
Bend/bendy (applied to edge rushers).
Length (applied, I think, to offensive linemen).
First punch (again applied to offensive linemen).
Catch radius (pretty self-explanitory, I think, but I’d still be interested in hearing peeps elaborate).
First step (applied to edge rushers, I think)
Roller skates (applied to offensive linemen getting pushed off the line, I think).
Second gear…next gear…whatevs (applied to running backs who are fast in the secondary, I think).
Any others. Help a not-smart old guy out here.
