history: I always liked playing linebacker in high school.
knowledge: The goal of the linebacker is to provide either extra run protection or extra pass protection based on the particular defensive play being executed.
response: Oh, neat! Linebackers provide extra protection against runs or passes, correct?

That's right. What kind of people do you think typically play linebacker?
knowledge: Linebackers are often regarded as the most important position in defense, due to their versatility in providing hard hits on running plays or an additional layer of pass protection, when required.
response: I'm not really sure, but the position is very versatile and is considered the most important defensive position.

That's a great description for them. What do you think it is about Brian Urlacher that makes him so great?
knowledge: When a blitz is called by the defense, it is mainly to sack or hurry the opposing offense's quarterback.
response: I wouldn't be able to say. I'm aware of blitzing, which is intended to sack, or at least hurry, the quarterback.

Okay, that makes sense. How valuable do you think a linebacker is compared to other positions on the team?
knowledge: Similar to the ''free safety'' position, linebackers are required to use their judgment on every snap, to determine their role during that particular play.
response: I honestly don't know. I do know that they have to be able to use their judgment every time the ball is snapped, so they can figure out what they need to do.

I can agree with that, they really do have to make some important judgement calls. I guess it would be up there with the quarterback in my opinion. How often do you think the linebacker is the key to scoring a goal?
knowledge: Linebackers are members of the defensive team, and line up approximately three to five yards (4 m) behind the line of scrimmage, behind the defensive linemen, and therefore ''back up the line.''
response: I don't know the answer to that, but I understand the linebacker lines up about 3 to 5 yards away from the line of scrimmage, on the defense.
