Running Backs RUNNING BACKS A good running back is an essential for a good football team, but a great running back is essential for a championship football team. A great running back consists of one with speed and agility, strength and power, and the last and most important component is heart and determination. These are the necessities for a great running back. Speed and agility are needed to get to the line of scrimmage as fast as possible in order to gain as much yardage as possible when opportunities, or big holes, are created by the linemen. Speed and agility are also necessary in order to gain separation from the opposition when one has passed the line of scrimmage. Once the running back has passed the defensive linemen, he can depend on his quickness and ability to accelerate, decelerate, and shift his body weight to out maneuver the initial running defenders. After the running back has gotten past the initial running defenders, the defensive linemen and line backers, it will be his speed that will determine if he scores a touchdown because in order to score he must past the fastest men on the field- the corner backs and safeties.
