why do kickers raise their arm before a kick? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say why

How come blocked punts don't become live balls once they are blocked? This is the second time I recall this year where a ball is kicked and then blocked and the kicking team picks up the ball past where the first down marker was. I had always assumed that once the ball is kicked and touched by the receiving team it becomes a live ball, and in these cases it would have been recovered by the kicking team. What's the rule that prevents that from being the case?

i personally believe they should have been awarded the first down because they had achieved yardage past the first down marker but im just a simple hyper dork

A tipped pass isn't a live ball either, you need possession to change. It's live if it doesn't cross the line of scrimmage

A tipped pass requires a completion. A kick to turn over possession doesn't require someone to catch it - they can simply touch it and then it becomes a live ball for anyone to play.

The Chargers defense is playing lights out but they have heavily relied on Jackson's inability to complete a pass of more than 5 yards.

There’s just a special rule for it so that it’s not actively dangerous to go for blocks.
