No, it is not considered a tackle. Technically when a quarterback goes down behind the line of scrimmage it is considered a sack. However, when a quarterback takes a knee, he is credited with a -1 yard rushing but no defender is credited with the tackle/sack.

How far behind the line of scrimmage can a player go to kneel the ball?

You don't have to be behind the line off scrimmage to kneel the ball. Anytime you kneel a football you are giving up your right to advance it (Though you may not be downed yet). Therefore you can kneel it as far back as you want. If you were on your opponents 5 yard line you could snap the football as the QB and run back 90 yards (perhaps to burn more time) and kneel it then.


What is it called when a player tackles the QB?

Why does left tackle make so much money?

One reason would be that most quarterbacks in the NFL are right handed.

Similarly, the right tackle protects the blind side of a left handed quarterback.

Franchise quarterbacks are often the highest-paid player on a team's roster, but since all NFL player contracts are individually negotiated, no one position is always the "highest paid."Actually the left tackle normally gets paid the same amount as a QB if not higher."The left tackle protects the QB's blind side" "Very important."


How do i lean to takl?

When I played football, our coach taught us that we always watch the runner's (or qb's) hips, because that gives away what direction he'll run. Don't look at his legs, it will confuse you; look at the hips. Then you lean in that direction to make your tackle. So, you watch the runner's hips and lean that direction to tackle him.
