ARM JOB A defensive maneuver in which an offensive blocker is thrown or pulled out of the defender's way so that the defense may have a clear shot at the ball carrier. An offensive man would call a man who did this a "thrower."

ARM TACKLE If he can't lock both arms around the ball carrier. by grabbing his own wrist he loses leverage and the slowing power of his body weight. A one arm tackle is usually one of desperation.

ARMORED TRUCKS Football games are big business. There is big money lying around the ticket offices and concession stands. Armored cars are now part of the big game scene except in certain areas where season ticket holders make each game a sell-out in advance.

AROUND END Up until the advent of the T-formation at least 40% of the yardage gained on football plays was toward the sidelines or "around end." Now the ratio would be approximately 15% around end, 25% off-tackle or through center and 60% on passes.
