I've even seen clips where it's obvious the person wasn't touched at all, 
from certain camera angles, and they still fall down and roll around.

Exactly. American football can drag out with the planning, but i think the 
individual plays are more exciting, and pretty much everyone on both teams 
does something vital on every play.
