Re: New England Patriots vs. New York Jets thread
McGahee,
The reason I feel that DT is one of the hardest positions on the field is because of what they have to do. Most DT's are called upon to cover 2 gaps while LB's, DE are only asked to cover 1 gap. DT's also have to rush the passer up the middle.
Tight End is a good choice, but I am little old school with TE's and feel that they are tackle's with pass elgible numbers and should block first. Because I feel that way, TE's tend to have to run block against a pass rush DE or an OLB, a battle they should always win.
I said FB's because they have some of the hardest assignments. In run blocks they sometimes have to get DE's, then they have to go to the finesse LB's. Then in the passing game they have to cover down and read blitzes, ect. Then they have to carry the ball. I guess some FB's can be interchangable with a few RB's but not many.
