I’m a newly introduced GB fan and this has been so helpful!! My bf made no sense to me at all when he tried to explain it. He was pretty shocked the next game we watched and I actually knew what I was talking about though lol =)

The difference between a blitz and regular defensive play is that in a blitz, the defense has at least one additional player rushing the QB than the offense has blocking. So if the offense has 5 blockers, the defense would have 6 men rushing.

In regular play, the defense has chosen to have fewer men rushing the QB so that they have more men covering the field and preventing receivers from being open, defending against a running play, etc.

Hope that explanation clears things up for you. Great site!

I might be able to help with the false start rule…

A false start occurs when, typically, any of the offensive linemen makes any kind of motion before the ball is snapped. It can be a pinky twitch or a head move or whatever. It is a very difficult violation to spot sometimes and, yes, confusing. You will see the center move or the tight ends move before the snap, but not once the snap count begins.

I don’t know if this helps, maybe I made it more confusing?

I am so glad I could help!! I am a visual learner myself….and an “entertaining learner” meaning, if its dry and boring, I’m so not going to understand it. I’ll just tune out.
I had to find a way to make the language of Football sound a bit more…. human
Feel free to ask me any question, any time on here or on Facebook and I’ll get back to you asap!
Good luck with dating, if you find a good one and he has a brother (esp a brother that looks like Mark Sanchez or Sam Bradford) send him my way! Lol!

Wow…. this is amazing… Just last night I posted “I no speaky the football – no understando what you sayo” to which my male bff replied with a series of football speak which I almost interpreted correctly…he said I got 25% of it. Poor sweetheart tried to explain it all to me and I being a visual learner was lost. So I googled and you were the first click. I have posted this on my FB page and am slowly lookingit over and see that this will help me so much!!! I only knew a bit a TINY bit!

Thank you so much for your very informative girl explaination of football!!!! Am a single mom now and know that this information will impress a few guys – If i ever get a date

Love ya a whole bunch!!!!

Thanks for the tip! I definitely know about the Safety but I’m sure I had some crazy reason for it not being in here! I know it’s in the e-book that should be out…. .sometime……
Glad it could help! I watch it every week too and every week I learn more and more terms that I had never heard of!

Hey Jen,

Super cool that you have posted all of this. Even though I watch football every sunday, I never get to see all the terms laid out like this.

I just wanted to let you know one more way to score. It’s a safety and it’s worth two points. Check out the wiki page here.

See ya
