Defensive End Question?

Question

Hi,

Can someone please help me out as to what a defensive end's job is?

For example, what do you do when no one blocks you, etc.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

watch out for a pulling guard or a fulllback coming at you other than that stay in your gap when no one blocks you. if its a pass and no one blocks you, unless your supposed to drop back in coverage, rush the qb

Answer 2

Defensive Ends job is simple!

on running plays the o-linemen will try to push u out of the way to create a gap for the RB to go through! U don't let him push u and if possible tackle the RB urself! ur main goal is to try and close the gap then go 4 tackle if possible!

on pass plays u have to try to get through or around the O-linemen and make a tackle on the QB (unless told otherwise)! on pass plays the o-linemen can't run at u! u have to run at them!

Answer 3

Contain the play so it doesnt bounce outside. Push every play inside, nothing is supposed to get outside of the ends.

Answer 4

if they dont block you mean it is a sweep to the other side your job is to get behind the o line and run across from behind to catch the RB (reason you go behind the o line because if the RB wants to stop and run the other side you are there to stop it.) If its a pass play there is always someone that is going to hit you if the o line doesnt hit you watch the RB/FB or TE because someones is coming for you, unless the teams offence sucks and they completely forgot about you.

The basic thing is if the O- line doesnt hit you it is run to the other side and they are going to double the DT.

Answer 5

Depends the situation but a D End has outside contain, rushes the qb and sometimes drops into coverage if your high school team has that type of coverage.  If no one blocks you?  Hammer someone!
