American Football Terminology

    Some of the American Football terminology stuff is great.

    I love the way they say things but would like to know a bit more.

    If anyone can contribute I would be obliged and I will start off with two I like.

    "On the concrete" this refers to the area betwen the hash marks where if a player attempts to catch a ball he can be fairly certain of taking a major hit from a player who is probably 50 lbs heavier and has a good run!!!

    "On the water " refers to the area outside the hash marks and generally occupied by WR's who are opposed by CB's or safeties who are running in the same direction and do not hit as hard.

    The saying might be "he is a good player "on the water" but cannot make the big plays "on the concrete"

    Any more ???

    I've been watching football for 5 or 6 years, playing for 4 years and can hold my hand up and say i've never heard any of the above :D

    I am not surprised son,thats why I posted them. They are players terminology,not generally known to those who are not hardcore anoraks.

    Thats the whole reason for this thread,not to parrot the everyday stuff that everybody knows.

    Glad I could expand your knowledge;) ;)
