Northeastern Offensive Line

Playbook

We are offensive linemen, part of the o-line. Five guys working as a unit within the

football team to establish the tempo and demeanor of the game. Our job

description doesn't sound fun, interesting or flashy, nor should it. Those who know

football know the game is won or lost in the trenches, along the line. We start the

play and if we are good we finish it. We are the O-Line, we set the examples, we

"LEAD FROM THE FRONT.
