Lineman Poem

The poem highlights the often unrecognized contributions of offensive linemen in football compared to running backs. It notes that while running backs receive glory for long runs, it is the linemen who make those runs possible through their blocking and creating holes, despite enduring sweat, pain, and getting dirty in the trenches. The poem asserts that linemen are just as important to the team's success as the backs, even if their efforts often go unnoticed by fans focused only on the ball carriers.

Ode To Offensive Linemen Running backs dance and running backs flirt, while linemen crawl and eat

dirt. When game time comes backs run the ball, with glory they get it all. But when it's a hundred yards they gain, it's the due to the linemen's sweat and pain. If running backs cry when they see blood, linemen hide theirs under mud. Some backs have moves and others speed, but sprit is all a lineman needs. Backs are needed and some run fine, but they'd be nothing without the line. A running back may love many before he weds, linemen only love their sleds. The fans all see the backs run, but few see what the line has done. That's why those who know agree, there's half a game the fans don't see.
