A fumble in football is a turnover that happens when the ball carrier drops the ball and it is recovered by a defensive player. On a fumble the ball can be knocked out of the ball carrier's hands.
A fumbled ball is a live ball and can be recovered by any player on the field of play. You can recognize a fumble when a player with the ball drops it or loses control of it. Fumbles must happen before a player is tackled or run out of bounds. Almost any means of the player dropping the ball counts as a fumble, whether the player loses his grip on the ball or an opposing team member pushes it out of his hands.
Whoever gets possession at the end of the fumble keeps the possession. Since loose footballs can bounce in any direction, it can be dangerous for players to go after them. It may be intentional or unintentional, and it always precedes possession and control. If the touching is forced the player in question has not touched the ball by rule.
Rules and Blocking a scrimmage kick is touching the kicked ball by an opponent of the kicking team in an attempt to prevent the ball from crossing the neutral zone Rule b. Such a play ends when the receiver touches out of bounds and, as described, the ball becomes loose at the time it is to be declared dead. He then comes to the ground in the following sequence: first foot, second foot, hip, back. The ball pops free when his back contacts the turf.
Is that a catch? One argument can be that not only was the catch complete when the first foot touched the ground, but the ball was dead because it was in the end zone. Again, failure to maintain control of the ball until the player has completely come to the ground indicates that the rule requiring possession was not satisfied.
The result is an incomplete pass. Randy uses that phrase to encourage officials not to stare down at the ground after a play ends a common fault among prep officials, especially when marking the progress spot. Dead-ball fouls, especially at a sideline, are almost always formulated in the mind of the perpetrator while the ball is live and executed within three seconds after the ball becomes dead.
In order for a late hit to occur, the potential offender must be in proximity of an opponent. Piling on or late hits near the runner are relatively easy to catch because officials tend to watch the player with the ball. Fouls away from the play are more difficult, but only because some crews are not disciplined to keep all 22 players in view after the play ends. Of course, dead-ball fouls can occur after the threesecond vigilance period.
Opponents may begin the dead-ball interval with verbal jousting that escalates to physical confrontation. The syllables themselves may constitute taunting. Officials should monitor all bantering among opponents. If opponents remain near each other after a play ends, there is a potential problem and the nearest official should close in and let his presence be known. In many cases that will be enough to deter any extracurricular activity. A common distraction to dead-ball officiating is the ball itself.
Some officials incorrectly make chasing the ball their first priority after the play ends.
