If a play is over when you kneel down with the football, why isn't it over when you're kneeling when?

that is because the place kicker doesnt start the play and it is a kick play not a running play or passing play

They have been calling it alot this year.  It further prevents defensive players from making a tackle and just laying on the opposing player running down the clock.  \n\nGood rule, but in this instance it was a bad flag.

those are the rules.  the clock stops if the player goes out of bounds or if it's an incomplete pass.  if it's a run and it's not out of bounds, the clock keeps running.

Very rarely used anymore. Every once in awhile you will catch team using it, once in a blue moon as they say. Basically as was said the QB fakes a pass. His hand is up in a throwing motion. Usually as he does that a RB comes up from behind or running from the side and behind and grabs the ball from the other hand. Statue of Liberty is that the one hand is up in a throwing motion, like the torch, and the other is kinda tucked down for the hand off, like the tablet. As to the slight tuck it is in case they don't get the other team to bite well enough and the QB has to run.

Because it's football really, not soccer like some keep on calling it.  I don't know why the other sport is called football in the first place.  Well anyways since its real name is "football," like the name suggests you play with your feet not your hands.

You mean ROETHLISBERGER.\n\nWell the called it a touchdown and when they reviewed it there was not a good camera angle to tell wether any part of the ball crossed the goalline so they could not overturn it. It was the refrees fault who called it a touchdown in the first place.

Because you are putting weight on your knees, which affects from there down

Also, on a punt (which is different than a kickoff) sometimes the punting team will be really close to the guy catching the ball by the time he is ready to catch it. He might be able to catch it, but he's going to get smeared and probably drop the ball. At that point, it's better to let it go.

If you are not interfering with the play, it is not off-sides. But, even if you don't go for the ball, but you are impeding a defender or the goalkeeper it can be considered off-sides because then you would be interfering with the play.

Not a ton of details in your question. But in the 7 & 8 year old Flag league where I coach. W edo not play punting or kicking. In lieu of a kickoff teams start at their 20 yard line. On 4th down a team has the option to go for it, and if they do not make a TD or first down the opposing team takes over at the spot. Or to "punt", in which case we just move the ball down to the other team's 20 yard line and turn the ball over to them.\n\nI do not know what you are refering to when you ask about rules for footwork. We do not have any specific rules referncing that particular skill

in the past 20 years or so, a specific rule was added that if the QB took the snap and immediately threw the ball down it would result in an incomplete pass with no penalty.  if the QB takes two steps back, however, intentional grounding can be assessed.

no this isn't the NFL, they don't get to watch a replay. Think how much that would slow down the game. People always complain about the refs, but in reality, it isn't like they are trying to sabotage a teams chance of winning, but they don't make every call accurately and that is to be expected, it kinda goes in with all the excitement and disappointment of the game.

I was playing linebacker in a football game, and instead of wrapping the player up like i was supposed to i pushed him exteremely hard instead. And of course, he happened to land in the endzone. :(

Technically an offensive player is offsides if they are closer to the goal than the last field defender (this does not include the goal keeper for obvious reasons) when the ball is played forward by the offense.\n\nI answered with Football in mind, not American Football. Hope this clears things up for you.

Football is a game of inches played with a ball that has two points on it that makes it bounce real funny.  Questioning the calls after the game is a national pastime, allways makes the loosers feel better to believe they we're "robbed".  \n\nOh yeah, IMO the ball did cross the plane, if only just barely by one thread of the ball...

That is when a player moves across the line of scrimmage before they are supposed to.<<----That's in American football.

He shouldn't be fined for his remarks after that game. I saw the game and was highly P***ed after that call that he dropped the ball on that pick. The Summary of my view of the replay, prior to falling to the ground, 1. he took two steps before his knee fell and his left arm went under the ball to not only have possession but prevent it from hittin the ground so the replay can't say that he dropped it.He got screwed but it's okay. It's all over now.Pittsburgh, we'll see  you in Denver.
