I did not say the words did not appear in the rule book. I said that the rule book does NOT recognize A GUARD or A TACKLE. THe fact that I placed an "A" in front of the words means that the word is a noun, not a verb.

The fact remains that the rule book does not recognize the terms with regard to where a player is positioned.

Here endeth the English lesson.
