Plays no one has ever seen

You only have to notify the official after the fair catch is made, not before the punt.

You do have to tell them before the free kick is attempted because the regular free kick lines apply and the teams must stay behind those lines.

[o21putt]

The drop kick is not legal in a free kick situation. The drop kick can be used in a punting situation or a PAT or field goal attempt. The play where the player says he forgot the tee is also not legal in that it is an attempt to deceive the other team and according to the rule book and case book is considered to be unsportsmanlike.

its not legal cuz its an attempt to deceive the defense?isnt that wut play action is?or ne fake for that matter

[cav43]

its not unsportsmanlike. you see Qb's walk toward the sideline all the time and direct sanp it to the running back. as long as the ref blows the whistle and the clock starts its fine.

I may be wrong on this ... because it sounds like you all know of which you speak... but I was thinking the only time you could attempt the free field goal attempt off the tee was after your team "fair caught" an opponents free kick (after a safety). I didn't think you had the option off of fair catching a punt.

 

Am I wrong on this one?

GovMan, The rule states you can free kick after any fair catch. This is after any free kick (Kickoff) or scrimmage kick (Punt, or FG try).

If the guy is running away from the line of scrimage everyother player is set and no whistle is blown how is it any different from any motion play. the only difference is that the player running off the field says something. Doesnt the qb say something most everyplay? The only thing that im aware of not allowed to be said on the field (besides cursing) Is a defenseive player immitating the snap count.

Idunk2 you are correct: a free kick is alowwed after ANY fair catch! This can be a great tool.

Seen a few...............in fact; old Nashville Interscholastic League field goal record was set on a "free" kick. close to 60 yds..........but don't hold me to that!

[Lovinthe3Ball]

my question would be why don't we see the free kick more? almost all college kickers can kick it from the 35yrd line and boot it through the end-zone. but, another thing that comes to my mind is if you miss it does the ball go to the 20? or does it go from where you kicked it?

HS - 20

College - where it is kicked

 

Why not more?.........position is usually good place to start drives and 7 is more than 3.
