off sides is when the defense crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped.
False start is when someone on the offense crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped.Can someone explain the difference between neutral zone infraction, offside and a false start?
A neutral zone infraction means that someone lined up in the neutral zone.
Offsides the player lined up correctly but then ju mped into or across the neutral zone before the snap.
Illegal motion (an offensive foul) means a player was moving behind the line of scrimmage before the snap in an illegal manner. This can happen in several different ways. Two players in motion at the same time, a running back lunging before the ball is snapped an offensive lineman moving after being set but not crossing the line of scrimmage etc.Can someone explain the difference between neutral zone infraction, offside and a false start?
A False Start is usually called on someone on the offense lined up on the line of scrimmage who moves in any direction, other than an eligible receiver going in motion, before the snap and after the quarterback calls set.
A Neutral Zone infraction is called when a defensive player who lines up in the neutral zone who fails to retreat from the neutral zone prior to the snap.
Offsides is called when a defensive player crosses the neutral zone prior to the snap.
Neutral Zone Infraction means someone is lined up in the netural zone.
Offsides is when the ball is snapped the player has gone past the line of scrimmage.
Encroachment is when the defensive player touches an offensive player before the ball is snapped and has crossed the line of scrimmage.
False Start is just like it sounds, but instead of being on the defensive side it's on the offense it basically means an offensive lineman moves from his position before the ball is snapped, it can be called on wide receivers as well as running backs, but that is rare, and the most extremely rare is the false start on the QB.
THE NETURAL ZONE IS THE LENGTH OF THE FOOT BALL, AND IF SOMEONE LINES UP IN THAT ZONE, OFFSIDES IS WHEN YOU CROSS THE NETURAL ZONE B4 THE SNAP.
False Start - When anybody on offense moves before the ball is snapped. False Starts are frequently called. It doesn't matter if you're trying to re-position yourself, draw the defense off or try to shift over to block a potential blitzer. If you move, you'll be called for a false start.
Offsides - Anybody on the defensive line moves before the ball is snapped. This can also be called ';uninvading to the Quarterback';. Sometimes those defensive linemen get a little anxious and try to time the snap. If that timing isn't perfect and they move, it's a 5 yard penalty.
Neutral Zone Infraction - There's a certain distance the defense has to keep away from the football, in order for it to be snapped and allow the offensive line time to react to the snap and block. That said, if the defense moves too close, it's a NZI.
There is also encroachment, which is when a player on the defense comes across the line pre-snap and actually makes contact with one of the offensive players.
i could but i see that others have done a fabulous job of it.
