Defensive end

The defensive end is the position in the team’s lineup. It positions close to the sideline. This player’s opponent is the tight end.
The early formations exploited them to cover the end runs around its position. Five-man lineup lines developed to gaming styles. One group of DE is crashing, aiming to disrupt the plays. The second group suggests the waiting style when the player uses the containment style. Some ends mix the ways depending on the opponent’s lineups.

This performer uses a three-point stance to be ready to contact the offensive lineman who builds the route to its wide receiver. A two-point stance is less stable but saves containment. The defensive end must cover its gap to prevent the running back or another eligible receiver from running through the hole. The speedy and agile ends pressure the quarterback.
