he can get up and run if he has not been touched yet. then he has to be tackled to be down, not "touched".
The above is true in the NFL...the touch must have caused the fall or happened while the knee or elbow is on the ground.
In college or ANY level below the play ends when the players knee or elbow touches regardless of the reason.
as long as no opposing player makes contact of any kind with that player, the ball is still live.
The above is true only in the NFL. In college or high school, the play (and therefore the down) is over when any part of the ball carrier's body touches the ground, other than a hand or a foot.
Edit category This is not a basketball question. Punting is football related.
When the defensive player moves over the line of scrimage and touches an offensive player before the ball is hiked. It's when a defensive player moves over the line of scrimage before the ball is snapped. If he touches an offensive player it's known as encroachment.
Yes, you can.
uhm no!!!!!!!! its called playing basketball! that's what your suppose to do. as long as they don't hit the person while trying to get the basketball then its not even a foul
yes u idiots
dead ball.. no out.
The offensive team gets a free kick
you cant hold the puck (unless your the goaltender)no high sticking (above the waist)no cross checking (hitting them in the numbers)no tripping etc. stuff like that...icing: when the defensive team hits the puck into the offensive teams end from behind the center line and it goes past the offensive teams goal line. If the defensive player touches the puck first, play goes on and if the offensive player touches it first they then call icing which means that they offensive team gets to switch their players but the defensive team does not and they have to bring the puck back to the defensive side and have a face off there.Off-side: when the offensive team is carrying the puck into the opponents zone but a player crosses the blue line before the puck does. They then stop the play and they have a face off.If a player is on a break away and is tripped up by another player on the other team they get a penalty shot.Two line pass: When a player passes the puck from his defending zone to a teammate beyond the red center line.hope that helps:)
me, me, me, me and me are the five best minecraft players

The quarterback because he touches the ball every play and commands the field.
yes if his hand touches the ground he is down but only if he is touched by contact and then touches the groundNo. A player is down only when a part of his body other than a hand or a foot touches the ground, or when the officials rule that his forward progress has been stopped.
