This allows them to better focus on the rush of the defensive man, and to be in better body position to pass protect.

When taking a two-point stance the offensive lineman should flex his knees and place his outside foot slightly behind his inside foot. The blocker should place his hands on the inside of his thighs, keeping his elbows flexed so that he can push off on the snap. He should keep his back straight, his head up, and his eyes focused on the man he is to block.
