Why does Aaron Rodgers say 319?

It's "green" 18, not "3" 18. It's the start of his snap count. The ball is then snapped on a one or two count following. He conditions the defense to assume that the ball will be snapped on one or two. He then sometimes shouts an exaggerated hut-hut following green-18 but the ball is not snapped (called a "hard count") to try to draw the defense offside. The hard count only works if the quarterback has been consistent in his pattern up to that point.


Can the ball be placed seven yards behind the line of scrimmage or can it be placed further back?

The ball must be placed on the line of scrimage before snapped. Assuming you are referring to a place kick or a punt, there is no rule dictating where the ball must be snapped to. Seven yards is standard as it should give the snapper, holder and kicker sufficient time to perform the kick.
