American football is a game where individual plays last for a specific number of downs. Some of these plays include scrimmage plays, punts and field goal attempts. These play types are defined in American football's rules. You are here to learn more about American soccer.
Offense
The American football offense consists of many different positions that allow a team to gain control of the football. These positions, also known as "offense guys", include the quarterback, tight end, running backs, and linemen. They are the ones who carry the ball, and their formations as well as blocking strategies are determined by the philosophy of the team.
The offense team begins play with the ball at the line. The offensive team is responsible for moving the ball towards the goal line and gaining control. Players on the offensive team are divided into two groups, the offensive line and the defensive line.
Special teams
There are many special teams in American football. They are a key unit in returning and kicking the ball. They are usually quick and can play any position. One member may be a running back, wide receiver or secondary. These teams can often be the decisive factor in game results.
Special teams are not as well known as the offense and defense, but they have a significant effect on the outcome of a game. They can be crucial in deciding the outcome of a game.
Interceptions
American football rules refer to interceptions. These are plays in American football where a player takes the ball from a defender and returns it. The offensive team must then try to tackle the defender to force the ball out-of-bounds. Once the defender is tackled the offensive team will assume the offensive position.
An interception can be a very valuable defense play. Interceptions can help change the pace of a game by stopping offensive teams from marching down field. This allows the defensive team to score.
Touchbacks
Touchbacks in American football rules occur when a team fails to gain possession of the football after crossing the goal line. This is often at kickoff or punt. The ball will be given to the return team and they will start play at their own 20 or 25 yard lines.
Touchbacks are important to the game because they create a safe environment for the receiving team. They keep the defensive side from hitting the receiver. Touchbacks may be offered by teams to save time.
Penalties
American football penalties can be severe. For illegal contact, players can be penalized in a variety of ways. This includes grabbing the shoulder pads or yanking at the jersey. American football also calls illegal contact "holding". An offense player can be penalized up to ten yard per violation on the next play. This offense also incurs a penalty of five yards.
A play can result in penalties ranging from a five-yard penalty if the pass is interfered with to a fifteen-yard penalty if it is roughing the passer. A violation can lead to a player being ejected depending on how severe the offense is.
