Lead blockers jobs are to protect against weak side blitzes and what not or assist with opening trap holes in the A,B,C gaps which are know as the 2,4,6 - sweep 8 on the right side and the 1,3,5, sweep 7 on the left side.

The O-Line helps out by giving the WR ample time to run effective routes for the QB to connect with.
