This is how to play football and how I think it works around one ball. Offense, Defense, And Special teams

How to play on offense. First there is running the ball, so you open your arms and hold it like your scary aunt’s baby that you really don’t want to drop. Then either you run away to the sidelines and just book it. Or you can have your linemen/ big guys (like me) move the d- linemen out of the way so you don’t get tackled and probably hurt because they are big. Then if you are lucky, you will have other people pushing you and blocking for you so you can get farther. Then there are passing and other plays. Passing is when you run and catch the ball while running and try to break the person that is covering you ankles. You try to go to the end zone but if you are close usually, they will just run it in and take it for 6 points. Your linemen must block or move the d- linemen for every play and it is very hard and sometimes easy.

How to play defense . First the people in the front the d- linemen. They are trying to get through the o – linemen which that can be hard to do because they can be  big but you can be bigger. Then the people behind them the corners and linebackers. The corners try to block passes and get interceptions. Linebackers are the backbone of defense they can do everything they can rush they can intercept they can tackle they can do everything. Heck they could probably even play offense. They just try to stop a touchdown and get the ball.

How to play special teams. First the kicker. The kicker kicks the ball how his coach wants him or her to. Then the people try to get the ball or tackle them.  They  go crazy. You just need to be crazy about football. The receiving team. One person gets the ball and the other people block for him and help him get his team good field positioning.

This is how I think about how to play football because I watched my whole life.
