Field Goal Rule???

Essentially a field goal is the same accept it involves having someone catch the snap, "drop" the ball (place it) and hold it in place for a kicker to kick. Same mechanics with different parts. Simply dropping the ball and kicking before it hits the ground constitutes "punting" meaning giving possession to the other team.

NOW I know, thanks for clearing that up.
