A linebacker ( LB or backer ) is a playing position in gridiron football . 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 . Linebackers generally align themselves before the ball is snapped by standing upright in a two-point stance ( as opposed to the defensive linemen , who put one or two hands on the ground for a three-point stance or four-point stance before the ball is snapped ) . The goal of the linebacker is to provide either extra run defense or extra pass defense based on the particular defensive play being executed . Another key play of the linebacker position is blitzing . A blitz occurs when a linebacker acts as an extra pass rusher running into any exposed gap . When a blitz is called by the defense , it is mainly to sack or hurry the opposing offense 's quarterback . 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 defense , when required . Similar to the free safety position , linebackers are required to use their judgment on every snap , to determine their role during that particular play .
The Queen 's Gaels ( also : Queen 's Golden Gaels ) are the athletic teams that represent Queen 's University at Kingston in Kingston , Ontario , Canada . Team colours are blue , red , and gold .

Their rallying cry is the Oil Thigh , a fight song sung in Gaelic by spectators when the home team scores a point , goal , touchdown , etc . Originally written in 1898 after a disappointing loss to the University of Toronto , the name comes from the phrase sung repeatedly in the main chorus : Oilthigh na Banrighinn , a ' Banrighinn gu brath , or College of the Queen forever in Gaelic . The song has the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic ; its English verses about the rivals of Queen 's College alternate with the Gaelic chorus . Queen 's teams have had a variety of successes on the provincial and national stages over the university 's history . The Gaels football program is one of the oldest and most successful in Canada , boasting a total of three straight Grey Cup victories in the early twentieth century ( 1922 , 1923 , and 1924 ) and four Vanier Cup victories as the top team in Canadian Interuniversity Sport ( 1968 , 1978 , 1992 , and 2009 ) .

In gridiron football , a guard ( G ) is a player who lines up between the center and the tackles on the offensive line of a football team on the line of scrimmage used primarily for blocking .

The guard 's job is to protect the quarterback from the incoming linemen during pass plays , as well as creating openings ( holes ) for the running backs to head through .

The offensive tackle ( OT , T ) is a position on the offensive line , left and right .

The defensive line is covered by the same rules that apply to all defensive players . Linemen are usually the largest players on the field in both height and weight , since their positions usually require less running and more strength than skill positions .

A defensive tackle ( DT ) is typically the largest and strongest of the defensive players in American football . The defensive tackle typically lines up opposite one of the offensive guards . Depending on a team 's individual defensive scheme , a defensive tackle may be called upon to fill several different roles . These roles may include merely holding the point of attack by refusing to be moved or penetrating a certain gap between offensive linemen to break up a play in the opponent 's backfield . If a defensive tackle reads a pass play , his primary responsibility is to pursue the quarterback , or simply knock the pass down at the line if it is within arm 's reach . Other responsibilities of the defensive tackle may be to pursue the screen pass or drop into coverage in a zone blitz scheme . In a traditional 4-3 defense , there is no nose tackle . Instead there is a left and right defensive tackle . Some teams , especially in the National Football League ( NFL ) , do have a nose tackle in this scheme , but most of them do not .
