5 people on offense and defense, they have to be the same players, and if you want to substitute someone, you have to wait for the next dead ball
The offense and the defense can each have 11 players on the field. If they have 12 ormore players on the field when the ball is snapped they are penalized.
DEFENSE
There has to be 11 players on offense and Defence for every play. There has to be at least 7 players on the line of scrimmage prior to the snap of the ball. This applies to both offense and defence
if you have the ball in your possession then your on offense if not your on defense
The best offense to run against a trapping zone defense to quick ball movement involving cuts from players on the wings into the paint where the zone is the weakest is in the middle
As long as there was a clear change of possession to the defense before they fumbled the ball back to the offense, then the offense would keep the ball and get a new set of downs. If the defense fumbled the ball back to the offense without ever establishing possession, then the ball would go over to the defense on downs. The only way the offense could retain possession in this case is if the ball ended up beyond the first-down marker when the offense finally recovered.
In football The offence and defense both run plays but the offence has the ball
if you have the ball in your possession then your on offense if not your on defense
Just like you have players that play on offense, players that play on defense, Special Teams are the players that play on kicking plays (for example kicking a field goal or punting the ball and also for kickoffs and kickoff returns).
