if a receiver is pushed out of bounds can he come back in to catch ball?

Yes as long as he establishes himself back in bounds. In other words he cannot run out of bounds and run back in bounds and catch a pass. He must establish himself as being in bounds before he can receive a pass, the pass cannot be on it's way to him. The rule clearly states he cannot be the FIRST person to touch the ball. Well if he is back in bounds and the QB still has the ball, he isn't the first person to touch the ball. That may sound confusing, but that is the rule.

Check the Daily Breeze newspaper in the sport section. They usually post the catches in the paper.

Some of these people are confused on the catching a td in the endzone I think. THe question was how many feet in the endzone for a completed catch. He didn't ask running from outside the endzone from the 3. Both feet have to be down in the endzone. If he is pushed out when he comes down with it, he must maintain possesion throughout falling down. THere is another way called a force out. If he gets one foot down but gets pushed out before he can bring the other down, it is still a touchdown, but the ref has to call a force out.

If the throw in does not enter the field, the throw is re-taken. The ball is not in play until it enters the field. No matter how many times a thrower does not get the ball in, the throw is re-taken. As a referee, I have never seen this happen more than 2 times in an attempt by the same thrower. Also as a referee, I would use the unwritten law 18, Common Sense, in dealing any cards for delaying the re-start, in accordance with the age and ability of the players and the weather. I.e. strong winds.

Big Question: Yes, the Defense can score a touchdown on a interception or fumble return.\n\nQuestion One:  No, that is called either offsides or encroachment\n\nQuestion Two:  A field goal is worth 3 points\n\nQuestion 3:  Any runner on base can advance on a fly ball that is caught by an outfielder as long as they touch the base they are currently on after the catch is made.

I have a little expertise on this subject, this play has gotten me and the guys to national championships and has won local leagues.  Any time we need a few yards for sure this is what we do... (a bit similar to the previous answer..) :  line one receiver up directly to the right of the center (if the qb is left handed simply reverse the positions and send the receivers the other direction), whichever receiver has the slowest defender covering him, that is which ever receiver keeps coming back to the huddle saying "I'M WIDE OPEN", should be lined up almost all the way to the left sideline.  after the snap the two receivers in the middle of the field take about 3 steps (depending on how much yardage is needeed) and then they both break hard left leaving about 2 feet between them for the wide out receiver to run between them.  there is nowhere for the defender of the wide out receiver to go except behind his man through the hole which gives him a step on his defender while everyone else is going the complete other direction.  this play is very simple and when perfected there are several variations of it that can be easy to execute.  email me for a diagram of the play!!!!  good luck

When an player passes the ball to another player of the same team, the receiving player is offside when at the moment the ball leaves the foot of the sending player who is trying to complete the pass, the receiver is BEHIND, i.e. closer to the opposite teams goal, than the last opposite team defending player.\nException to this is when the receiving player is in his own half of the field, or if he doesn't in any way affect the game, i.e. he is injured on the ground or returning to his team's goalposts using the sidelines.\n\nIt's easier to understand if you know why it's there, rather than what it is:\n\nImagine what would happen if a team was allowed to line up loads of its players right in front of the opposition goal mouth - it would be really easy for one of them to knock the ball into the net if it was passed to them.\n\nSo to prevent players from 'loitering' near the goalmouth like this there's a rule which says that a player from team A is offside if (and only if) he receives the ball while the only team B player standing between him and the goal is the goalkeeper himself.

oh yes it is they can get penalized either 1 or 2 ways either by unneccesary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct and could even get ejected from the game depending on the official that's a nono you can only tackle a person from behind if they have the ball and you're behind them but not without the ball

No! After he contacts the ball, one or both feet can come crashing down on the plate provided neither foot was touching the ground outside the batters box during his hitting of the ball.\n\nMLB rule 6.06\nA batter is out for illegal action when --\n(a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter’s box.\nRule 6.06(a) Comment: If a batter hits a ball fair or foul while out of the batter’s box, he shall be called out. \n\n\nIf a batter, batting from the right side of the plate, steps on home plate to intentionally interfere with the catcher attempting to make a play on his hit ball, the batter will be called out for interference, not because he stepped on home plate but because he caused interference by not running directly to first base.\n\nIf you are asking a trick question, :) the answer is still no, stepping on home plate to complete an inside the park home run is required.

Try using the wishbone formation more often, if you are so desperate (as we can sense) review some of the college film and teams like Nebraska that i recall are use to run the option in a lot of the game plays.\nAlso just throw the ball only to RBs and Tight ends ocasionally, your receivers need to be mainly for blocking schemes.

The clock shall be stopped and start at the snap of the ball when the ball goes out of Bounds

Only if the offensive lineman was lined up at the end of the line, did not have another offensive player on his outside shoulder, and had declared himself to be an eligible receiver.

Blocked punts do count.  But in order to get the points, they must remain behind the line of scrimmage.  Here's the rule:\n\n"Blocked kicks are counted only in instances where a kick (FG, PAT, or punt) is touched by the defense and remains behind the original line of scrimmage."\n\nI believe the punt you are talking about went beyond the line of scrimmage, so unfortunately, you won't get any points for that.

If the intercepting player established possession at his own one-yard line, and then fumbles from here:  It is a touchback if the ball travels out of the end zone.  \n\nIf the defensive player does not clearly intercept the ball before fumbling, then the offense retains possession. \n\nIf the defensive player intercepts the ball at the one, then enters into his end zone himself:  His team is legally allowed to shoot him.  (Well it should be legal!)

yes...as long as it is touched by a player (it can't bounce directly from the ground across the goal line)

yes as is all tackling from behind, some refs might give it though if the ball is won

According to the Chicago Tribune, The Bears acutally would have got the ball at the Giants line of scrimmage (about the 35) if he caught it and downed it in his own endzone, so it isn't a traditional touchback in that sense, so there was really no risk in at least fielding the ball.
