Turk Edwards of the Boston Redskins is one of the mighty men of the pro game, a tackle who is surprisingly supple for his large size and weight. Tackles are the "key men" of the line, who take the brunt of defensive line play. Notice Edwards low, squatting stance, which enables him to get under opposing players and thus lift them with his charge. Feet are spread, though not too far apart, to meet a shock from any angle. One hand is on the ground to keep an even forward balance. Line men should not spraddle out on all fours, but should be evenly poised and well anchored.
