@malexandergarcia ok and whats the difference between a tailgater football and a regular football?

[malexandergarcia]

@Rampage368 depends on what position you're playing

as a defensive back lined up right across from a reciever, you have the bump zone [starting from the line of scimmage ending 5 yards in front of it]. in that space, pushing is allowed. use it to get a reciever off rhythm. beyond that, stay as close as possible to the reciever without interrupting their route. if you physiclaly get in their way, that's defensive pass interference. this is all assuming you're playing man coverage.

@creativepeople20 I'm in england too and i don't like the fact that it's called football either cos real football is my first sport. But i play american football and an american football is different from a rugby ball xD and the way it's thrown is different so you can tell where it's gonna land

[Nirosh720]

what was the point of holding the ball?

[creativepeople20]

@jimyjamyninjas That's cool, but for me I suck if I don't have the official ball (NFL), but hey if there is a football to be played with the only important thing is to play the greatest sport in the world!!!!

@MrRare16 coz he dosent want to spend $20 on a proper one. I have a Patriots ball like that for 9 quid and it's really exelent to throw and catch, altho it's pretty hard to carry.
