After the ball is snapped (hiked), a running back will slip out of the backfield (he may throw a quick block to fake the rushers) to a spot still behind the line of scrimmage. 2-or 3 lineman will throw a quick block & then release their man (they are blocking) & slide out to an area still behind the line of scrimmage but in front of the running back. The quarterback drops back (all of this happens simultaneously) & tosses a short pass to the running back (who yells to the lineman that he now has the ball with some sort of signal, ie; "GO") who then follows the lineman down the field. The lineman must not go downfield until they hear the signal or they will be hit with a penalty for ineligible man down field.

What is the difference between latin America football and American football?
A whole lot of skill!ANSWERIf by "Latin American football" you mean soccer or association football, there are almost no similarities between the two games. In soccer, you kick the ball down the field in an attempt to score a goal into the opponent's net. In American football, you run and pass the ball down the field in an attempt to score a touchdown in the opponent's end zone. Soccer doesn't allow use of the hands and prohibits contact; American football emphasizes ball handling and is a full-contact sport.

A forward pass is when a player, behind the line of scrimmage, throws the ball to a teammate such that the ball goes 'downfield' or forward even by inches.

Any other means to advance the football is a 'rush' or 'run' play, even if the ball changed hands, or was thrown a long distance in a sideways or backwards fashion.
