Trust Me, It’s a Guy Thing*
No guy ever thinks of himself as a 
lineman or defensive back.
No, at least when it comes to our own lives, we’re . . the quarterback! (natch).
Which is where the phrase, “I’ll be out of the pocket” until 3 p.m. today (or whenever) comes from.
Translation: ‘I’ll be away from my desk and unavailable till then.’
*I’ve yet to hear a woman utter the phrase.
