Quote ="Hollywood Harrigan"You need to watch the game to apreciate it. Every man has a job whether he touches the ball or not. If 1 person fails then the team fails.'"
From an American perspective, this specialization is what turns me off. All players are already groomed to play either offense or defense, but even within that realm, they are confined to a few positions. Commentators will make note of a guy switching from offensive tackle to offensive guard, like it takes a different kind of fat to block the same pass rush. If a guy gets injured (pretty usual) then he gets replaced but another faceless guy from the 53-man roster. They're really more pieces than players. The competitors are the coaches as much as the players on the field. It's all very mechanical and too many names to follow.
