Default In American football...what must the defencive players try to do?

When defending in Amercian football...must one guy try to stop the quarter back throwing the ball, and getting through the players protecting the quarterback?


A

B

O O

QB

If A and B are defensive...and O and O are attacking with QB being the quarterback...what must A and B do?

All eleven players have a certain duty on every play and usually don't know what they are supposed to do until the offensive play starts to reveal itself. If the QB is passing there can be anywhere from 3-6 or more rushing the QB depending on the defensive strategy on that particular play. Others have to guard players and areas, for instance, linebackers, cornerbacks, and safety's.
