英语词汇red dog的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

red dog. Linebackers “hound” or “dog” the passer in a foot- ball red dog, crashing through the line to try to break up a play. When the tactic was invented in the 1960s, “red dog” was the signal if one linebacker was to try cracking the line, “blue dog” if two were to be used, and “green dog” if all three linebackers were to charge. Football fans, however, misused the terms and applied red dog to any rush through the offensive line, made by linebackers or linemen, and that is what the term means today. I’ve also heard it used outside of football for any rush on one person by a group of men.
