Warrior_Man 04/29/18 2:05:36 PM #22:	DevsBro posted... Or does the "back" term mean he starts behind the line? Which, doesn't everyone? Some positions like defensive line and offensive line start literally on the line of scrimmage. They have no positions with backer in the name. Other positions start off the line of scrimmage like linebackers and defensive backs. Receivers usually play right up against the line but certain formations force them to have to be back off of it. Really the only ones that screw this up are cornerbacks who sometimes play right up at the line when in press coverage. --- In memory of Calvin Johnson Jr.'s touchdown catch to beat the Bears. 9-12-10 Terrible officiating to prevent a miracle. <cite>Warrior_Man posted [p:900515873] in Why is eve...
