Source sentences:
text: Linebackers are hard-hitting players who always go through a blocking sequence before reacting, vary their stance according to their position, read and react to the play while pursuing it aggressively, drive the ball carrier they are tackling, work as a unit with the rest of the linebackers, and effectively blitz the quarterback.
text: Linebacker is generally considered the hardest position for a defender to mentally grasp, not only because of the various gap and blitz responsibilities, but because after his initial gap responsibility he must drop into a zone or cover a receiver should an offense choose to pass.
