blind side côté aveugle

Creator:
Language pair:English to French
Definition / notes:A term for the side of the offensive line that the quarterback is facing away from while in the pocket. For right handed quarterbacks, the left tackle protects the blind side. There is an extra emphasis is placed on keeping the quarterback\'s blind side safe due to the higher risk of a turnover on a hit from the blind side since the quarterback cannot see the impact coming. Teams will often put their best offensive lineman on the blind side to lessen the risk of pressure.

Two tackles play outside of the guards. Their role is primarily to block on both running and passing plays. The area from one tackle to the other is an area of \"close line play\" in which blocks from behind, which are prohibited elsewhere on the field, are allowed. For a right-handed quarterback, the left tackle is charged with protecting the quarterback from being hit from behind (known as his \"blind side\"), and this is usually the most skilled player on the offensive line. Like a guard, the tackle may have to \"pull,\" on a running play, when there is a tight end on his side. Tackles are typically a taller, longer build than interior offensive linemen, due to the need to keep separation from defensive linemen in pass blocking situations, as well, they tend to have quick footwork skills as they often engage against containing or rushing defensive ends.

_________________________________________________

Les « offensive tackles » (bloqueurs) ont un rôle similaire aux offensive guards mais ils sont plus mobiles, car les defensive ends et les linebackers tentent de les prendre de vitesse. Généralement, le tackle droit est le meilleur bloqueur de course (il crée une couverture pour les running backs), tandis que le tackle gauche est le meilleur bloqueur de passe (il bloque les défenseurs avançant vers le porteur de balle et notamment le côté aveugle du quarterback — généralement droitier — qui est de côté lors de sa préparation à une passe). Ils ne touchent qu\'exceptionnellement le ballon.

En attendant le retour d’Okung, c’est Mansfield Wrotto qui protégera le coté aveugle de Matt Hasselbeck.

Et enfin tout joueur qui reçoit un choc de son coté aveugle ou par derrière (c’est donc le cas d’un quarterback qui n’a pas initié son lancé et qui est heurté de son coté aveugle).
