Lets say its fourth and three from the 30 yard line and a field goal is attempted. The ball will be kicked from the 30 yard line but the ball must travel 47 yards to go through the uprights. The uprights are 17 yards deep in the end zone. So to figure the distance of a field goal attempt just add 17 yards to the line of scrimmage.

In American football can a player on the kicking team retrieve a field goal attempt if it does not cross the line of scrimmage?
Yes. As long as the ball has not crossed the line of scrimmage, it is treated like a fumble and can be recovered by either team. Note that if the offense recovers, the down is still in effect. If it is fourth down, they would need to reach the line to gain a first down or else the ball would be turned over to the defense anyway. If the ball travels beyond the line of scrimmage, the same rules apply as to any kicked ball. The defense can let it roll dead (which would be the same as a missed FG) or attempt to return it. If the defense touches it beyond the line of scrimmage, the offense could recover and would have a first down.

Is it true that in the NFL a placekick or dropkick doesn't have to be considered a FG attempt?
By rule, if you kick the ball during a scrimmage down, it's called a "scrimmage kick." If a scrimmage kick off the ground goes through the uprights, it's a field goal. Technically, there is no rule that defines a field goal "attempt." You don't necessarily have to "attempt" a field goal when placekicking on a scrimmage down, but if your kick doesn't go through the uprights, the same rules apply as would for a missed field goal.
Using NFL rules can a blocked field goal be recovered by the kicking team behind the line of scrimmage and thrown for a touchdown?
If it doesn't cross the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball, the kicking team can kick again on the next down. This happened this week in Iowa vs Northern Iowa. Read about it here: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=292482294
When can you catch a field goal?
As far as rules are concerned, punting and field goals have the same rules (except punting cannot score points like field goals can). They are referred to as 'scrimmage kicks'. So a FG that will land in the field of play is identical to a punt that will land in the field of play. The kick returner can even call a fair catch!
How many yards is football placed on fg attempt?
after a touchdown is scored, the ball is placed on the two yard line and the team attempts an extra point field goal. on extra point and field goal trys, the ball is hiked back seven yards to the holder and the kicker kicks it.
Why can a FG holder get up and perhaps run a fake after receiving the snap from center WITH HIS KNEE ON THE GROUND?
There is an exception made to the rules in college football that allows a player that is acting as a holder for a field goal or point after touchdown to have possession of the ball while his knee is on the ground.
What is an illegal shift in football?
In HS: On offense, there must be seven or more players lined up on the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped. If there are less than seven offensive players on the line of scrimmage at the time the ball is snapped the penalty is called an illegal formation. (if there are more than 7, some players that would normally be eligible to be downfield for a pass are ineligible, but it is still a legal formation). In NCAA/NFL: There must be 4 players in the backfield (off the line of scrimmage) at the snap. While the two rules sound the same, the difference occurs when the offense doesn't have all 11 players on the field. In high school, it means less players in the backfield. In the upper levels, it means less players on the line of scrimmage (and it makes the job of the short-wing officials a lot easier when checking the formation). There are also some other rare/unusual rules when governing legality of formations, such as HS requires a man on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the center (usually the guard), in college and pros you need two players on both sides of the center on the line of scrimmage (usually the guard and tackle). Also, the 5 players on the line that are ineligible (the offensive lineman) must wear numbers of ineligible receivers (between 50-69). There is an exception to the player numbers on 4th down FG attempts and PATs.
