| Definition / notes: | American football : a player who carries the football on running plays (Merriam Webster) This is an offensive position on a football team whose responsibility it is to run the ball and occasionally catch short passes. The running back is usually considered the primary option for all rushing plays. There are, however, a few other positions on the team who will occasionally run the ball. Many teams have at least one or two starting running backs, and most have one or two backups as well. If a running play is called, the individual will most often assume a position behind the offensive line. Depending on the play called, they may be positioned next to the quarterback or possible behind and to the side. If a pass play is called, a running back may be used to run a short route. (https://www.sportingcharts.com/dictionary/nfl/running-back.aspx) Running backs are players who line up behind the offensive line, who are in position to receive the ball from the quarterback, and execute a rushing play. Anywhere from one to three running backs may be utilized on a play (or even none, a situation typically known as an \"empty backfield\"). Depending on where they line up, and what role they have, running backs come in several varieties. The \"tailback\" (or sometimes the \"halfback\", though this term is somewhat archaic) is often a team\'s primary ball carrier on rushing plays. He may also catch passes, often acting as a \"check-down\" or \"safety valve\" when all other receivers on a pass play are covered. The \"fullback\" is often larger and stronger than the tailback, and acts primarily as a blocker, though the fullback may also be used for catching passes or for rushing as a tailback does. Fullbacks often line up closer to the line of scrimmage than tailbacks do, so they may block for them. A \"wing-back\" or a \"slot-back\" is a term for a running back who lines up behind the line of scrimmage outside the tackle or tight end on the side where positioned. Slot-backs are usually only found in certain offensive alignments, such as the flexbone formation. A similar position, known as the H-back, is actually considered a modification of the normal tight end position (see below). (Wikipedia) ____________________________________________________________ Un running back (« arrière courant»), appelé demi offensif ou porteur de ballon au Canada, est un joueur de football américain ou de football canadien évoluant dans l\'équipe offensive. En France, le terme est surtout utilisé pour désigner le halfback, joueur étant amené à porter souvent le ballon. Le terme regroupe cependant halfback (demi offensif) et fullback (centre arrière au Canada), joueur généralement plus corpulent dont le rôle est de courir devant le halfback afin de bloquer les adversaires et lui ouvrir ainsi le chemin pour une course facilitée. Ces rôles principaux ne sont cependant pas les seuls de ces joueurs relativement polyvalents, ce qui explique la grande variété dans les gabarits (1,70 m à 1,90 m) et de poids. (Wikipedia) Le Temple de la renommée du football professionnel a maintenant un botteur de dégagement. De plus en plus de receveurs et de joueurs spécialistes des sacks. Mais une des positions qui a mis le Temple sur la carte, le porteur de ballon, est en forte perte de vitesse. Il y a 29 porteurs à Canton, la position la plus représentée. Ça achève.
