What is the difference between encroachment and off sides in football?

Encroachment is when a defensive player crosses the line of scrimmage and touches an offensive player; play is blown dead, 5 yard penalty. The NFL has changed the rule to include crossing the line and causing an offensive player to move. Offsides is when a defensive player sets up or crosses over the line of scrimmage before the snap, and doesn't get back in time; the play is blown dead if unabated to the QB, otherwise it's play-on and a 5 yard penalty if the offense accepts. There is technically no such thing as "offsides" on the offense. A false start is when the offense jumps before the snap; 5 yard penalty.


Why turndown the penalty in football?

Most penalties result in replaying the down. Sometimes it is more beneficial to take the result of the play and not replay the down. Example, on 3rd and 10 there is a holding penalty on the offense during a 2 yard run. Accepting the penalty makes it 3rd and 20, declining makes it 4th and 8. On 4th down the offense should punt.
