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.

If the corners, and/or safety backs off right away in high school, it's usually zone coverage.  Also, a good way to tell is if there is motion, and the corner follows the receiver, then it is man.  If you're just trying out for the team, (as a freshman or sophomore, I'm guessing) then reading coverage isn't going to be the first thing the coaches look for, because it is a learned skill.  They are going to be looking at your fundamentals, like your drop, and your throwing ability.  Hone those skills first, and the rest they will teach you.

A down is an opportunity to move the football forward (downfield). You can pass or run on each down, but you only get four. If you move the football a total of ten yards within those four downs, you get a "first down." That is just a fresh set of four downs. The numbers you hear, just denote what down it is, and how far the football has to move to get a first down. FIRST and TEN, means that it is first down, and you have ten yards to go before you get another FIRST DOWN. Second and seven means that it is second down, and you have to go seven yards for a FIRST. etc.\n\nHit me up if you have any more football quesitons.\n\nkeptcompany@yahoo.com\n\nGood Luck!

Right Outside Line Vacker?\n\nIn what context did you see this acronym?  Can you tell whether it is a statistical term, or is it supposed to represent a position on the field?

Zone blitz. Have one of your DEs back into coverage and blitz two of your LBs. Very confusing to the opposing QB.

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

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!)

98 yards by Steve O'Neal.  It actually can't be broken because to get the max yardage the team has to punt from their one yard line and have to go to the opponents one yard line. Take away those two yards and the longest it can be is 98 yards.  If it is 99 yards then that means it goes into the endzone which is a touchback.

It is used to keep track of the down for the play.  The head referee is the only one that wears it.   He is the one that places the football on the line of scrimmage to start the play.

It's awarded to the individual player that scored the TD regardless- so if someone started Correll Buckhalter, they get his fumble recovery TD, just as they'd get credit for him tackling a LB who intercepted McNabb (if the league scoring includes individual defensive players)  By the same token, a DB like DeAngelo Hall or Charles Woodson who lines up on offense for a play and catches a touchdown, gets the points just like a WR.\n \nIt wouldn't count as a defense/special teams TD since that wasn't the unit on the field when the scoring play happened.
835075
Counter\na running play in which the running back will take a step in the opposite direction of the play, only to get the handoff in the other direction. Weak side linemen will sometimes pull and lead the back downfield (sometimes called a counter trap), but not necessarily. The play is designed to get the defense to flow away from the action for a few steps, allowing more room for the running back.

it wasn't a punt return.\n\nit wasn't a kickoff return.\n\nthere are no stats for interception yardage and field gold miss yardage. you don't get yardage points for those.\n-nny

Depends on where you are on the field. \n\nIf you're playing deep, and have no help down the field, trying to step in front of the receiver is a good way to give up a TD if you mistime it.\n\nIf you're supposed to be playing in front of the receiver (like a CB in a cover 2 defense), a mistimed jump in front of the receiver may give up a big gain if you mistime your jump, but you've got team mates behind you to stop the TD.

Down here...in Memphis...it isn't good if a guy calls you a dime piece.  It means that you are fine as hell but you getting tossed between different guys.\n\n\nAnywho you gotta check out\n\nwww.urbandictionary.com\n\n\n\nYou'll be overwhelmed.
