    In an NFL game, what can offensive linemen do on a placekick that they can not do on any other play?

    Question #103535. Asked by Bronxiteone. (Mar 04 09 9:13 AM)

    		Pro (NFL) Rule 9-1-1 “The kicking team, behind the line of scrimmage, may:
    punt;
    dropkick; or
    placekick.” In other words, there is no rule that requires a team to use the punt style of kick on fourth down. They can go for it, punt, place kick, or drop kick. Nor is there any rule in high school or the NFL that says all place kicks and drop kicks are field-goal attempts. There is such a rule at the NCAA level: Rule 2-15-9 which says,

    “A field goal attempt is any place kick or drop kick from scrimmage.”
