Joe Ford

What is a 3rd down back?

A “third down back” is a guy who is expected to run straight ahead for short yardage in third and short yardage situations, or at the goal line. He is not expected to move around in the backfield looking for a hole, or to have much speed once he penetrates the line of scrimmage.

Why are running backs called halfbacks?

Now that most offensive formations have only one or two running backs, the original designations do not mean as much, as the fullback is now usually a lead blocker (technically a halfback), while the halfback or tailback (called such because he stands at the “tail” of the I) lines up behind the fullback.

Do teams still use fullbacks?

At present, many teams have no true fullback at all on their roster, and when they do, he is seeing fewer and fewer snaps. Frequently, teams have been turning to the versatile H-back in lieu of a true NFL fullback. Teams are also spreading to use more one-back three wide sets or running behind two-tight end formations.
