Teams put a premium on keeping the quarterback from being sacked from the blind side, and will go to great lengths to acquire effective blockers for that side of the offensive line. Blind side hits can be game changers for the defense because of the high chance of a turnover, since the quarterback is unaware of the hit and will often have the football exposed.
