What is the difference between a FS and a strong safety in american football?
362539
Strong safety: A defensive player who generally lines up in the secondary to help stop the pass, but often aligns close to the line of scrimmage to help stop the run.\n\nFree safety: A defensive player who lines up the deepest in the secondary and defends the deep middle of the field against the pass.

Rugby!! No pu$$y protective gear like in American football. It's significantly more physical and requires more braincells to play.

It's similar to American football. That's because American football developed from Rugby.\n\nThe main and most obvious differences are:\n\n- You can only throw the ball backwards\n\n- You don't wear padding or helmets\n\n- It isn't broken up into plays or downs, play continues after a tackle non-stop\n\n- The endzone is called the In-goal area. \n\n- 5 points for a try (like a touchdown), 2 points for a conversion (like an extra point kick), 3 points for a drop goal (like a field goal)\n\nThat's rugby UNION. Rugbly LEAGUE is different in it's points system (4 for a try, 2 for a conversion, 1 for a field goal), and it has a "set" of 6 tackles that are like gridion 'downs'.

League seems to get the most injuries.\n\nUnion is more controlled and AFL has less contact.

pro and college used to have the same distance between hashmarks.\nbut the NFL has continualy narrowed it to increase passing and decrease the use of the option play.

Offense\nThe offensive line (OL) consists of five players (two offensive tackles (OT), two guards (G), and a center (C)) whose jobs are to protect the passer and clear the way for runners by blocking members of the defense. All plays begin with the center handing the ball backwards between his legs, or snapping it, to a teammate, usually the quarterback. Except for the center, offensive linemen generally do not handle the ball. \nThe quarterback (QB) receives the ball on most plays. He then hands or tosses it to a running back, throws it to a receiver or runs with it himself. \nRunning backs (RB) line up behind or beside the QB and specialize in rushing with the ball. They also block, catch passes and, on rare occasions, pass the ball to others. There are two main kinds of running backs: fullbacks (FB), who usually block, and halfbacks (HB) or tailbacks, who are more likely to carry the ball. \nWide receivers (WR) line up near the sidelines. They specialize in catching passes. \nTight ends (TE) line up outside the offensive line. They can either play like wide receivers (try to catch passes) or like offensive linemen (protect the QB or create spaces for runners).\n\nDefense\nThe defensive line (DL) consists of three to five players (two defensive ends, one or two defensive tackles (DT), and possibly one nose guard or nose tackle (NG or NT)) who line up across from the offensive line. They try to tackle the running backs before they can gain yardage or the quarterback before he can throw a pass. \nAt least three, but usually four or more, players line up as defensive backs (DB). They cover the receivers and try to stop pass completions. They occasionally rush the quarterback. There are two main types of defensive backs: cornerbacks (CB), who line up against the wide receivers, and safeties, who start at the back of the defense. The strong safety (SS) usually plays on the same side of the field as the tight end, while the free safety (FS) plays on the other side. \nThe other players on the defense are known as linebackers (LB). They line up between the defensive line and backs and may either rush the quarterback or cover potential receivers. They are split up into two different types, middle linebackers and outside linebackers\n\nSpecial teams\nThe placekicker or kicker (PK or K) is the player who kicks the ball on extra point and field goal attempts. Those plays also require a long snapper (LS), who snaps the ball to a holder. The holder positions the ball for the placekicker.\n\nOn punts, the person who kicks the ball is called the punter. As on field-goal attempts, the long snapper snaps the ball on punts. The person on the receiving team who stands back to catch and return the punt is called a punt returner (PR).

Here is a simplified definition of American football.\n\nThe object of football is to score as many points as you can.  The team on offense, tries to score the points by getting the ball into the endzone.  They do this by either throwing or handing the ball to a player on their team.  The offensive player with the ball tries to run into the endzone for the score.  The defense tries to prevent this from happening by tackling the offensive ball carrier.  \n\nEach time the offense gets the ball into the endzone, they get 6 points.  After this score, a touchdown, a kicker tries to make an extra point by kicking the ball through the goal posts.  If the offense cannot get the touchdown, or move the ball ten yards forward in 3 tries, on the 4th try they can try to have the kicker kick the ball through the goal posts for 3 points.  If they are too far away, they must punt the ball to the defense, who will become the offense.\n\nThere are 11 players on offense, and 11 on defense.  \n\n(This is my first post, so I don't know how good this will be, but I hope it helps.  I left out many of the more detailed and complicated rules to explain the basic gameplay.)

Im sure there have been some..They always have players that were QBs and Rbs in college/highschool play WR and defense in the NFL..im sure there has been a player that went from safety to WR...Im not sure of any specific players though.

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.

The college ones are bigger (bigger players...LOL!) and have more padding, but usually smaller and more flexible/stronger materials. High schools cannot afford to purchase the kind of padding and materials that most colleges can. College unis would be about the same as most Pro Football teams.

The play flats is a unrealilistic play so hear is how you stop it.\nYou got to 4-2-5 on defense and pick ss dogs. You should take the player who you want to stop the guy he throws to every time. Because the strong safetys blitz even though you user control a corner back the strong safety gives great qb pressure

A safety, in football, is caused when the offensive player with the ball is tackled inside his own endzone (100 yards from his objective).  Thus, the team playing defense gets 2 points for acheiving this rare, hard-to-do event.\n\nSo if you have the ball, and I tackle you in your endzone, I get 2 points.  Cool?

I think the difference is that taunting may just be a verbal thing where unsportsmanlike conduct could be a physical thing like fighting or tackling someone out of bounds.\n\nBoth are 15 yard penalties, but unsportsmanlike conduct could potentially result in an ejection.

There are several differences.  Some are:\n-Canadian field is longer and wider\n-Canadian football is played with 3 downs, American with 4\n-Canadian football is played with 12 men on the field, American is with 11\n-no fair catch rule in the CFL\n-in the CFL, the punter can recover and advance his own kick\n-in CFL you can score a "rouge" (a single point)\n\nIf you'd like more detail, see the link below.\n\nEdit: the play clock in the CFL is only 20 seconds as opposed to 40 seconds in the NFL, so there is less time between plays.

Bulking up is the easy part,  the hard part is learning the line calls and the blocking schemes for run blocking.  WR is by far, one of the easiest positions to play at the high school level, and TE increases the level of difficulty with the  blocking.  Anyone who wants to switch had better be committed and had better like to hit since you go from nearly zero contact as a WR to 60-70% of the time blocking DE's and Linebackers, definitely different from going against DB's.

Number one defense. Defense is the most consistent. If you always play good defense you keep yourself in games even if your offense is off. That's why the best SuperBowl champs have great defenses.
