So the "Extra point" kick from the 2yd line is also called a P.A.T, right? Also, you talk about the Field goal and where it can be kicked from; is that decided by how far the offense got on the last "round" (or down)? Like, if you get tackled on the 40yd line, you can decide to either go for a basic throw/run, or kick it? Or do the plays/downs always start from the same position? Thx great video

[@pelotacubanausa]

Pretty Good video

[@kirankchanda]

HI..you are videos are so helpful..thanks...I had a question...Where does the play start .. i mean at what yard line at the v start of the play ? so the offfense team has to cover 100 yards everytime they get the ball ?

[@TheOnDeckCircle]

+kirankchanda The offense will get the ball either through a kickoff or punt (or interception) and they will start wherever they can return it to. Check out my video on kickoffs for more.

[@thundersword99]

Hey, I'm sorry, but whenever a team chooses between a conversion or an extra point, do they announce it and the defense team know what they'll do and the offense team can only do that, or does the offense team decide secretively and do one or the other without the defense knowing?

[@TheOnDeckCircle]

They do not have to announce it. Lining up to kick an extra point will mean that the kicker and holder will be on the field, so it is usually obvious from the formation whether they will be kicking or not. It's rare, but they are allowed to line up like they are going to kick an extra point, but fake the kick and try to get the ball into the endzone for the 2-pt conversion.

[@Scoinsoffaterocks]

So if you do a field goal, does the game like continue and the offense keeps trying to reach the end zone, or does it just "restart." I'm sorry if its a stupid question, I've only watch 2 videos. And if it does restart, then why do it at all if you can get more point in a touchdown. I mean, the field goal seems like it requires a lot of skill to successfully do.

[@TheOnDeckCircle]

Not at all a stupid question. If the field goal is good, the team that kicked it will then kickoff to the other team, just like after a touchdown. If the field goal is missed, then the ball will remain at the yard line it was at and other team will become the offense.

[@TheOnDeckCircle]

Yur welcome!

[@scottmills2715]

You seem to be missing the fair catch field goal, the 1 point safety, and the 2 point drop kick--drop kicking through the goal post from a point beyond the line of scrimmage (this hasn't occurred since the early 1940s, at least in the NFL.)

[@caseyryan1]

Scott Mills Doug Flutie converted a drop kick in the NFL in 2006.

[@conorolaf1762]

What about the dropkick?

[@aswafford2001]

Thank yur

[@MrCrouman]

So to do a safety you just have to tackle the opponent in his own zone when he has the ball?

[@TheOnDeckCircle]

His own endzone, yes.

[@Gamer33]

Crou Man yea

[@dirtydog777]

HardikG121 any playee

[@Cruzeiro5x02008e2009]

Does an interception can lead to a safety right away if the guy who intercepted the quarterback gets tackled in his endzone ?

[@gmdwill]

Cruzeiro5x02008e2009 No, I had that same question before

[@Cruzeiro5x02008e2009]

@@gmdwill Thank you for replying man!

[@aidanphelps]

So, the defense can't score? I'm really confused about that... You keep saying if your team is on offense, and you get the ball... etc. does that mean if you're on offense you aren't allowed to run with the ball and score? sorry if it's a dumb question.. just a little confused.

[@TheOnDeckCircle]

+Aidan Phelps The defense CAN score, but it's not common. If they intercept a pass or recover a fumble and run it to their endzone it would be a touchdown. More often though, they would get the ball on a turnover (interception or fumble) and not score. Their team's offense would then come on to the field and take over from there.

[@footy2rock]

+TheOnDeckCircle I've been watching a few games lately but the thing I don't understand is why does a team get a free field goal when they are within 30 yards and have had 4 downs?

[@walrus_man]

+Mark Chapman once the offensive team crosses into the defensive (opposing) team's territory, which is once they pass the 50 yard line, they can choose to attempt a field goal on a 4th down.

[@rjflesher]

Aidan Phelps The defense can score a safety if they tackle the ball carrier in the offensive team's end zone.

[@tokufire8989]

@@walrus_man also in certain cases more than 50 yards

[@goranmilic442]

@@TheOnDeckCircle What about one-point safety?

[@TundraBoy]

What if someone on defence accidentally ran the ball in there end zone? Or the offense fumbled the ball in the defences endzone and the defense jumped on it in there endzone?

[@SI-cd7xs]

why don't nfl teams just get good retired soccer players to kick field goals?

[@kirouacmichael]

CapiTen10 cause kicking in football is a total different technique than kicking a soccer ball...being good in soccer/football does not mean you'd be great in the the other sport
