Part 2/10:

An offensive line consists of five key positions: two tackles, two guards, and a center. The tackles—often the largest and fastest members of the line—are generally responsible for protecting against the swiftest edge rushers. Guards, slightly smaller but stronger, contend with robust interior defensive linemen. Finally, the center handles the snap and plays a critical role in setting up protection, usually engaging in dual blocks, making this player invaluable.
