Is your leg supposed to get cut of in football.?

Um, no I usually don't like for my leg to get cut off.  And most football players play more than one game, with one leg cut off, I don't think that they would!

It actually depends on your leg and style of play. I assume it's the one you feel most comfortable in.

in official games all players MUST wear shin guards (or pads) as it is a requirement. However in training sessions many players choose not to as it is more comforatble without them.\n\nAnd in fact shin guards protect from minor injuries like bruises, but in the case of a more serious injury (like a broken leg) shin guards actually do more harm.

It sounds like both coaches are allowing you to play, but one is worried about injury, and that is not dumb.  I happen to on the coaches with this one.  Coaches want to win and I'm sure they'd love to have you on team if you can help them win.  During 6th grade youth football, I played Left Tackle and blocked for a Female Quaterback that led our team to the league championship.\n\nIf you have really want to play football you should try out.  I would first weigh all the factors though.  You would almost undoubtedly have more success at other sports, especially at a high school/college/professional level playing for a women's team.  Unless you are exceptionally big or strong for being a female, you will be at a high risk for injury, as is any male would be.  We had a great running back in youth football but he weighed only about 120 pounds and broke his leg- twice.  Also, one position women fair well at is kicker... do you have some talent there?  In high school, a lot of gals can be competitive as a kicker.  Much harder to be competitive at any other position though.\n\nMost girls who play football either play at a pre-high school level or are in a unique situation (either physically huge and athletic for a female or have a strong leg and become a kicker).  Always exceptions though.

Well, I'll start with a personal anecdote.  First game I played in college I had my head stepped on by my own damned scrumhalf, cleats and all, and was knocked out on the field.  I have also personally seen people have their faces cut open by elbows in a ruck, usually right above the eye.  Head wounds bleed quite a bit.  Another injury I have witnessed was from one of the girl ruggers here, who had her ear nearly torn off and then stitched back on. I'm not even bothering to mention the number of broken limbs, sprains, and their ilk. Also, for some statistics on Rugby injuries in Australia, check the link in the source.  \n\nNeedless to say, Rugby is a much more violent sport than Football, and it makes it just that much more fun to play.\n\nEdit:  Forgot to mention spearing, in which during a tackle a player is lifted by his legs and smashed head first into the ground.  It is illegal, but it happens.\n\nEdit:  Well, back in the late 19th century, England alone counted 71 rugby related deaths in three seasons.  I haven't been able to find a recent count, although I know that deaths do occur.  I didn't bother mentioning broken/twisted limbs because they are so common. You know, legs broken the wrong way with the bone sticking out, that sort of thing. I also know from playing that football players can't take a hit to save their lives.  They are too comfortable with all that padding.  You take it away and they break something or have something broken within two or three games.\n\nEdit:  I'm going to keep finding stuff to convince you how awesome the game is!  Buck Shelford had his sack cut open during a game by a boot spike, which left his testicle hanging out.  Doctors stitched him back up and he played the rest of the game.  Link is in the sources.

Maybe it's because they have a running back at the QB spot. The QB running should always be the last option never the first. QB sneaks just a good way to get QB hurt

To defend the Americans (for once) I have been a fan of American Football for some years and it is a specifically (and continuously) impact sport where the padding is absolutely necessary.  Even with it there are still significant injuries.\n\nRugby is absolutely a rough sport but if they hit like the American footballers do we would need 50 a side to be able to finish the game.\n\nOverall enjoy the sport you love, don't try to big it up by slagging off other sports\n\nPeace Out.

It is NOT placed at the 20 yard line, if a player takes a knee after the missed field goal beyond the 20 yard line. The ball is placed at the line of scrimmage from where the field goal was kicked. So in this example, Chicago would have got in from the 40ish but Hester took a gamble and it paid off.

What must have happened is I must have hit my head on the boards, because last time I checked I was playing hockey and there is no 25 yard line.\n\nHuh?\n\nIn hockey if the ref's making gestures towards his feet it's probably a tripping call.\n\nI have no idea what it is in football.

Depends.  If it was meant for the other team and you make a complete catch, it would be.  If was intended for your own team, its just a pass.  If you do not maintain control, say from the pain of getting hit there by a football, you will fumble and the pass will be imcomplete.

Under Rule 4-1/Ball in Play, Dead Bal, it talks about when the play should be called dead.  Under Article 3B, it says:\n\n"(Exception: The ball remains alive when an offensive player has simulated a kick or is in position to kick the ball held for a place kick by a teammate.  The ball may be kicked, passed or advanced by rule)"\n\nSo, I guess it's officially covered.  I found it on page 75 of the official NCAA football rules:\n\nhttp://www.ncaa.org/library/rules/2005/2005_football_rules.pdf

Sounds to me like you jarred the knee.\nIt can happen from an impact like jumping in BB. If you are lucky its only a jarred knee which will take a few days to sort itself out. It could be ligament damage but thats unlikely as you would be in severe pain constantly and would know straight away. Try getting a crep (sorry i dont know the spelling, but basically its a tight elastic material) bandage and leave it on it for support when your are moving around.\nOther then that, ice it for a while to make sre there is no internal bleeding, then apply a heat pack to it every half an hour for 10 mins and see if that sorts it out.\nYou should go to see a sports doctor or a physio either way, an ordinary GP will just refer you to a specialist if he does not solve it.

sprints, lift weights if can, eat healthy, whatever stretches you did in football (if you want to).... just about anything.... just don't hurt yourself in the process.... don't work TOO hard....

It may always seem like the game is on their shoulders-especially in the final seconds...all it would take for their team  to win may very well rely on their leg.I'm sure it's alot of pressure.Also,they aren't as warmed up as the other players that are on the field most of the time.I don't hate the kickers but sometimes I curse them out on television...but soon come to my senses and say "ahh what the heck...damn kickers"

Football. Especially lineman. Your being hit by someone who very strong, continusly for about and hour and 30 mins. The only break u get is half-time.
