It seems strange how the Guard (American football) article is so good, while this one is really bad.
I'm not that knowledgeable about football but a recent book, "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game", sheds light on how critical this position can be.
I removed ", except on rare trick plays." Interior offensive lineman are allways ineligible receivers. The only time that they are eligible is when they line up as an end, and the referee has been notified. -- Rushingfn 20:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- That's not entirely accurate to say that a tackle must line up "as an end" in order to be eligible. They simply must be uncovered on the end of the line, i.e., there is no end on their side of the line. They're still lined up as a tackle. In fact, in that circumstance they're specifically referred to as a "tackle eligible", which stands in literal contradiction to the claim that tackles are "always ineligible." -- Trowbridge ( talk) 04:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
If you are lined up as the last man on the line of scrimmage on your side, you are playing end. "Tackle eligible" is not the official term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.152.243.180 ( talk) 10:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Removed the merge tag since there was no disucssion as to why we would remove an article discussiong a position into an article discussing an action in American Football. PsYoP78 18:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Why does this article have the "original research or unverified claims" tag attached? There's absolutely nothing in this article that suggests "original research". All information given in the article is basic common knowledge among anyone who has ever played football. -- Trowbridge ( talk) 04:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
