5. Sack
Literal definition: When a defensive player tackles the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage for a loss of yardage.

11. Bump & Run
Literal definition: A defensive technique where the defender will initially hit the receiver at the snap of the ball and then run with him in coverage.

Matt: YIKES.
Ira: Did I get too dark?
Matt: Nah, just right.
12. Drag
Literal definition: A route where the receiver runs downfield and breaks in towards the center of the field on a 90 degree angle.
