American football positions
Offensive guard (OG) Two guards line up directly on either side of the center. Like all interior linemen, their function is to block on both running and passing plays. On some plays, rather than blocking straight ahead, a guard will ``pull '', whereby the guard comes out of his position in line to lead block for a ball carrier, on plays known as`` traps'' (for inside runs), or ``sweeps ''(for outside runs), or`` screens'' (for passing plays). In such cases, the guard is referred to as a ``pulling guard ''.
