 Blitz (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In American football, a blitz is a defensive maneuver in which one or more linebackers or defensive backs, who normally remain behind the line of scrimmage during a play, are instead sent across the line to the opponent's side in order to try to tackle the quarterback.
Safety blitzes, when a safety (usually the free safety) is sent, and corner blitzes, where a cornerback is sent, are less common.
Sending a defensive back on a blitz is even more risky than a linebacker blitz, as it removes a primary pass defender from the coverage scheme.

 Quarterback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The quarterback is a position in the offensive backfield of American and Canadian football, directly behind players of the "line".
He is generally the leader of the offensive team when it is on the field, responsible for initiating play by receiving the snap of the ball from the center.
Although the emphasis of quarterback's performance is still on his passing abilities, such running ability provides an additional threat that allows greater flexibility in the team's passing game.
