	NFLHS.com - Tips & Drills - Defensive Line Pursuit
		Defensive success often can be traced to the desire and discipline that the defensive line demonstrates as it pursues a play.
		The defensive end on the side of the run reacts to the hook block, making certain that he holds his position and does not start to widen until the ball carrier has crossed his nose.
		If the defensive end was rushing to the outside, he stops and retreats back to the line of scrimmage, staying outside the offensive tackle.

	NFL teams feel need for speed at defensive end - CBS SportsLine
		Usually the left end is the bulk end since most quarterbacks are right-handed, and the right end is the smaller speed rusher.
