all very good points and its pretty tough to say which one is the hardest. Qbs have to know it all on O. LB's have to know it all on D and the linemen have to make it happen at the beginning of the play so the skill guys can finish it. MY vote though goes to defensve back. I played a cover 2 safety last year (with little sucess lol) and most guys incorrectly assume that its an easy position. I mean first of all you have to make a secondary call and get it lined up then drop from the snap and get a read on the backfield action to try to call run or pass to help out ur d line and backers. Then u have to find the football and make what amounts to an open field tackle nine times out of ten on run plays. On passing plays you have to make sure that you are deeper then the deepest and make sure u can make a play on the zone that stretches from a seam route to a corner or go route all the while watching for a backside post coming into ur zone it gets pretty rough when u have a corner and a go route coming at u. Im just glad i packed on enough weight to get moved into the box and play LB again.

i gotta go with the O-line. if a team plays good and they give the qb time to look downfield and keep him protected who do u read about in the paper?? the qb's passing yards.. but if he gets sacked a lot, who gets the blame???? the offensive line.

Its about time the O-line gets some recognition....never mentioned in the paper or news....and if the runningback or the QB make a great play they get the recognition but if they get tackled for a loss or sacked then its the O-lines fault....

The hardest pos. to play has to be QB but the most important position is the o-line & d-line...Most any o.c. in college will tell you the D - tackles are the most important on the defensive side of the ball. If you have good o&d lines then you'll have a good team if not then you better have superior athletes or it'll be a long season.

Another reason I think d-back is hard is because if they get beat, it is 6 points. If a linebacker or d-lineman get beat, the d-backs can still stop the ball, nobody is there to help the d-backs if they get beat.

Depending on what coverage your, hence the word SAFETY, could be over the top hhelping DB's.

You're right, but a lot of high school teams don't play cover 2 that much, they usually stick with 3 deep or man. Even though I personally like cover 2 because I think it is hard for high school QB to read the flats and where the safety is playing.

    • I have no affiliation with Maryville anymore outside of being a 2nd generation graduate from a large family of Rebel alumni. That relationship ended courtesy of the lame duck AD (a Bearden grad I might add) and the HBIC. That said, I could care less if a private school comes through and offers every promising athlete out of that school or any other school better opportunities.
    • A perfect example is for athletes at Clinton High School. I will completely understand, and hopefully everyone should understand why they want to, and as of right now, it looks like that’s going to happen in numbers over the summer.
    • I mean, that’s easy to say when it hasn’t happened to your school that often, if at all, but yeah, I think everybody should be for the student athlete or player. Whatever they think will help them or their athletic career, I feel like they should be able to do that, even if that means transferring schools. Now I don’t really get that when you have almost every offer you could want and then jump ship, but what can I say? I guess money talks. 
    • I for one am all for it. 
    • Covid killed the city because they chose not to play football in the 2020 season. Therefore, kids weren't able to practice and develop, and continuing to lift weights. Memphis basically had 7/8 graders, skipping a year, then playing 9/10 high school football. Now, there's only one team that has made a "dent" which will be Southwind (made it to the 5A semifinals last year).  If you want to go more suburbs, then it'll be Houston, which won the 6A state title, defeating Oakland Other than that, I agree.
