American football questions...?

1.  Limit the roughness - never happen, the players enjoy the contact too much.\n2.  Some guys can still go both ways (OH!) but that will lead to more injuries which you said we needed to reduce in item 1.\n3. Since we want to keep injuries down and we aren't going with items 1 or 2, we need a larger roster.  The guys don't get paid NEARLY as much as basketball or baseball players which is ironic since their career duration is much shorter.  Remembering the good players will come naturally.  \n4.  Many people overlook the importance of special teams since it seems like a segue period of getting the ball from team one to team two; a means to an end.  Football enthusiasts (like me) see special teams as important as offense or defense and special teams players are needed as much as the other guys, most of whom just aren't special teams guys.\n\nMy suggestion would be to give the ref the ability to judge pass interference so that it wouldn't automatically be a "ball placed at point of infraction" penalty.  If it's an incidental infraction, make it 10 yards and auto first down play.\n\nAlso, holding is a crappy call that needs standardization.

When a good friend's nine-year-old daughter chose to do a school project on the game of football, I sent her the following two books to help her understand the game (since I couldn't be there in person to teach her myself):\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0970279329/104-2259982-8427901\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1886161100/104-2259982-8427901\n\nHowever, I think the book you're looking for is this one:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Your-Damn-Beer-Watching-Game/dp/1594861633/ref=pd_sim_b_3/104-2259982-8427901\n\nI can't personally vouch for the Robinson-Peete book, but the books by Clark and Stout fostered an incredible understanding of the game in my friend's daughter, and I wound up buying them for myself, too.  The Clark book is basic (it does say it's a primer) and I could have done without it (I already knew a good bit about the game), but the Stout book is a lot more detailed and was personally useful to me.  They do work well together if you don't know a lick about the game.

Okay here's how it goes!\n\nIts been three months and your question is just sitting here for someone to come along and say pick the first answer or why havn't you picked it yet. \n\nI spent all morning voting for answers that were 3 months old and all of them had something like that. \n\nIf you pick the answer yourself you'll get 3 pts back instead of 2. But if you vote you only get 2 pts back and the best possible answer probably won't get credit because they've long forgotten about it.\n\nO yeah' Go Raiders!!! *RZ*\n\nP.s "I don't agree with going around not seriously answering these questions but if I don't someone else will." \n\nO yeah if the above answers suck, delete your question or pick me! :) J/k I'd ask it again and don't let it get this old.~

It is very hard. I watch the NFL network very often, & various NFL films on espn, espn2, & espn classic. I read through NFL answers on here, & am getting ready to start studying for the upcoming Fantasy Football season. I watch movies about the NFL like the longest yard & brians song. I am grading different teams drafts & free agent signings & losses so I will be able to be a step ahead of everyone come september.

American football is something like rugby. In fact I wonder why they even call it football since they kick the ball very rarely. I personally find it very boring, most of the time the players just sit there waiting for the game to start again.

Ive have used a hybrid version of the west coast because the short passes tend to give the boys some confidence. I say "hybrid because we dont use play action and dont use a ton of crossing patterns like the west coast uses. We do however use 2 tight end and jumbo sets and Near and Far sets. We run the ball quite a bit as well because i think it teaches fundamentals like blocking, play devolpment and HOLDING ON TO THE FOOTBALL. Its been pretty successfull. As far as defense we just ran a 44 and just kind of let the DBs float untill someone came close or let them try to make a play on the ball, I call it the(" I have no clue who to cover zone defense") but i stayed away from the long passes because the QB was to predictable where he was throwing or the line couldnt hold blocks long enough to give him time.

Get stats, the teams' record and how far they went in the play-offs.  \nIf you can interview the coach.  Ask the coach questions like: which player is the most improved from last season? What do you think is the strength of the team? (get names and last years stats to back it up)? Ask about any surprise underclassmen. \n\nThe Quarterback and runningback stats are a must.  Also the leading tackler (or sacks) on defense.  For the QB Yards and Touchdowns are most important (if the QB had like 35 TD's and 3 interceptions mention that, that's a good ratio).  For the running back yards and TD's too.  \nMention the under classmen that did well this season (get this from the coach) and be all super excited that they'll be "returning next season to lead the (school mascot name here) to another winning season."  You have my permission to use that line.\n\nIf you only get a paragragh, then only mention the scorers on the team and the positive from the previous season.  But if you get more, be through and a little more detailed.  Ask the coach when in doubt he should be more objective than the captain of the team, who may just want his name in print.

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.
