my position is linebacker.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A linebacker (LB or backer) is a playing position in American football and Canadian football. Linebackers are members of the defensive team, and line up approximately three to five yards (4 m) behind the line of scrimmage, behind the defensive linemen, and therefore \"back up the line.\" Linebackers generally align themselves before the ball is snapped by standing upright in a \"two-point stance\" (as opposed to the defensive linemen, who put one or two hands on the ground for a \"three-point stance\" or \"four-point stance\" before the ball is snapped). The goal of the linebacker is to provide either extra run protection or extra pass protection based on the particular defensive play being executed. Another key play of the linebacker position is blitzing. A blitz occurs when a linebacker acts as an extra pass rusher running into any exposed gap. When a blitz is called by the defense, it is mainly to sack or hurry the opposing offense's quarterback. Linebackers are often regarded as the most important position in defense, due to their versatility in providing hard hits on running plays or an additional layer of pass protection, when required. Similar to the \"free safety\" position, linebackers are required to use their judgment on every snap, to determine their role during that particular play.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I always liked playing linebacker in high school."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I never played linebacker but I always respected their responsibility of protecting against the run or pass depending on the play"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I agree. What kind of people do you think typically play linebacker?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Generally it is considered the most important defensive position, so they need to be versatile.  I always liked watching Brian Ulacher"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's a great description for them. What do you think it is about Ulacher that makes him so great?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think, just like most great linebackers, the ability to blitz the opposing quarterback"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Okay, that makes sense. How valuable do you think a linebacker is compared to other positions on the team?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think that are very important.  They have to use their judgement on every play to determine what they are going to do"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I can agree with that, they really do have to make some important judgement calls. I guess it would be up there with the quarterback in my opinion. How often do you think the linebacker is the key to scoring a goal?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well linebackers line up in the defensive team.  Behind the linemen.  They do not often score goals."}]
