It's the offensive lineman lined up next to the guard. Their job is to block.

Offensive Tackle is the anchor for the line. The tackle is usually the biggest guy on the line & either clears the hole for the running back or provides the most protection for the QB. Interesting how left tackle has become one of the 6 "skill" positions these days but since it's the one that is most responsible for protecting the QB's blind side more NFL teams are making sure that they are protedcting theirs (Orlando Pace, Walter Jones, etc.)

An offensive tackle is one of the main five linemen in an eleven man football game. He is located on either side of the center, next to the guards. There are two guards, and two tackles. The center snaps the ball, the guards and tackles block the defensive players. The guards are right next to the center. The defensive tackles are next to the guards. Like some of the other answers say, their main job is to block the defensive players from getting in the backfield to their quarterback. They are also important in that it is their job to clear holes on running plays to their side.

It should be noted that the most important tackle is the one who protects his QB's blindside. Usually, this is the left tackle, but in the case of team's like the Cardinals(Leinart is a leftie), the right tackle becomes more important....
