knapplc Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Offensive Guard: 1) Big - Offensive lineman are probably the largest players on the field - they are normally about 320 pounds!!! They stuff up the line as best as they can to keep the QB safe and able to pass. I would therefore say this poster should be one who is "long-winded" and likes to write a lot on any particular subject. One sentence answers aren't this guy's modus operandi - this poster likes to get all the ideas out of his head on every reply he makes. 2) Pulling ability - We've all heard of the "pulling guard!" On the snap, this guy can laterally move behind his other line mates to create a running lane on the other side of the field - especially on sweeps and "counter trey" misdirection plays. The nominee likes to try to use his wit and cleverness to "pull" an argument to his side of the field. He'll also "counter" once in a while in order to create an pro-con scenario. 3) Leverage - The Offensive Guard needs to use good leverage to keep the opposing tackles or ends from getting around them. It's all about "staying low" and "getting dirty" - you know, hands under the armpits once in a while! He might not always be the first person in a conversation (lower in the order for good positioning!), but he knows what he's talking about and likes to add his two cents to get into the conversation (in the trenches)! 4) "Right" (or Left) Hand Man: The guard, who plays, next to the Center and QB, is in charge of all the inside plays. He has to work well with the rest of the offense. He is in on every play, but doesn't always get the credit or make the big play. But he is there regardless. He is always posting, but his posts may not be the most glamorous, but they are there and have a role. Please nominate or second the person you feel best exemplifies these traits at HuskerBoard. We need two OGs. Link to comment

knapplc Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 CENTEX is nominating Husker 37, and I'm going to break the string by nominating Sarge87, since we'd just like one nomination per person, per thread. I "broke the string" by nominating someone without Husker in their name: HuskerTrucker HuskerfaninOkieland HuskerRob Husker 37 Sarge87 (all of whom need seconds still) Link to comment
