Apparently it's the 33 yard line?


50 yards minus 10 for the endzone minus 7 for the snap = the 33 yard line.

I don't understand? A 50 yard FG is not kicked from the 50 yard line, if that's where this is going. That'd be a 67 yard FG, I do believe...

My understanding is that it's the distance the ball travels from the spot the hold is placed through the uprights.

The ball would be placed at the 33 yard line by the holder after the snap.....Give or take a few inches.

Good test of reading comprehension. If the question were, 'Where is a 50-yard field goal SNAPPED from?', then the 33 would be a good answer. Foot makes contact with ball at the 40, though.

Correct, 33 being snapped from was what I was getting at, but typed it all jacked up.

Ahh! Well done.

Kicked from, not snapped from. You got me on that one for sure. Tip-o the cap to you, good sir.

But I got the words 'kicked from' from you in the other thread. They were the words you used when you first brought up a 50 yard field goal. I can only respond to what I read.

Remember a test we got when i played football....gave us a paper with a bunch of questions....on top it said read all questions then answer. First question was something like if the OL across from you jumps early what do you do?..........when you got to question 50, it said....now that you read all the questions, put your name on the top and wait for the rest......i think i did the first 5-6 questions before i read ahead since some of the questions were dumb....

Funny thing is he answered the question in last post without knowing.

TPaul I know you teach. I just hope it is PE.
