If a running back drops a football and then picks it up, is that technically a "fumble" but not a "turnover"?
What if he drops the football and a defensive player picks it up, maintains possession, then later drops it and the original running back picks it up and is tackled. Is that two "fumbles" and two "turnovers" for statistics purposes?

Running Back drops, then recovers, no turnover, for him, one fumble, no fumble lost (That's the bad one).
Running back (Or whatever) fumbles, defensive guy recovers, runs, fumbles, offensive play recovers, two fumbles, two fumbles lost.

Yes, the first scenario is a fumble, but not a "turnover" or a fumble lost (FL). They track both now.
In the second scenario, if possesion is established, then each player is credited with a "fumble lost", and a fumble recovery, but the play constitutes two turnovers.
You are absolutely right in that posession is the key.

On the first question - it's a fumble but not a turnover.
On the second question - it's 2 fumbles and 2 turnovers.
I used to play tight end at LSU and I got hit on one of these in a scrimage and coach chewed my butt over the fumble, but more over the turnover.

If you drop a ball in Football, and then pick it up, yes - you recovered your own fumble.
If another team recovers a fumble, runs with the ball, and then turns it over, yes - it is a "double-turnover" - two fumbles.

if he had possesion, then drops it and picks it up, then it's considered a fumble then a fumble recovery, not a turnover. the other senario its two fumbles and two recoveries.

i'm a Dallas fan so i'm not negatively biased. i comprehend for a fact although that that Crayton is actually rather sturdy contained in the slot and that the numbers he positioned up are extra on the Rams #2 CB than Crayton. do not swet it and move after E. Graham.

yeh its a fumble
but if nobody picks it up before the Running back does
than he can pick it up and keep going
so its not a dead play
