Here's a little tidbit for James the term Sack comes from a HOF defensive tackle named Deacon Jones. Jones played for the Rams during the 60's and 70's and used to proclaim that his sole purpose was to sack and pillage opposing backfields.Sacks in his day were never kept as a stat, but from looking at game film it is estimated he would be in the top 3 all-time in Sacks

One important thing to remember in American Football is how often the clock stops, unlike Association Football where you have 90 minutes and stoppage. Any time there is an incomplete pass or a runner goes out of bounds, the clock stops. This is why a "60 minute game" usually takes over 2 hours to play.

@blindleader42 Год назад

Three hours with stoppages for no other reason than to show the TV commercials that make the NFL the biggest money sports league in the world.

@obeseparrot4266 Год назад

@@blindleader42 I guarantee you in 1920 they didn’t have commercials in mind. Stoppage in the clock has a purpose, American Football is a tiring sport and they need a break. It is also a time to strategize what play you will be doing next down

@Big_Tex Год назад

Something you might not expect. While the highest paid guy on the team is probably the quarterback, very likely the 2nd highest paid guy is the offensive left tackle - the big fat blocker on the left end of the offensive line. That’s because this is the most key player when it comes to blocking for the QB when he steps back to pass; the left tackle protects a right-handed QB’s blind side where he might not even see a defender charging around the end about to clean his clock. As such the best command a high premium.

@jameade Год назад

Most left tackles are not fat at all.

@bobculwell5375 Год назад

I thought that was an excellent primer to the game. An excellent introduction to the game for people who are previously unfamiliar with the game. If you knew nothing about the game previously, watched this video, and then watched a game, you’d be able to understand and follow a very high percentage of what you’re seeing. There are nuances and obscure rules that pop up from time to time, but referees and TV announcers generally do a pretty good job of helping the viewer navigate those times. You know enough-after watching this-to watch a game and derive some enjoyment from it.

@kenhenderson1762 Год назад

One thing not covered was "clock management" The coach and quarterback of a team trailing late in a game needs to know all the ways of stopping the clock without using a time-out, Conversely, the coach and quarterback of the team ahead late in the game needs to know how to keep the clock running.

In the NFL the games can end in a draw. If tied in regulation time they play a 10-minute overtime, first team to score a touchdown wins. If still tied after OT it is declared a tie (draw). It does not end in a tie very often.

The good thing about American football is the complexity. One can enjoy the game with merely a simple understanding while a person who has followed the game for years still finds he learns new things each time. Football is to chess as most other sports are to checkers. Most Americans who follow other sports only do so while waiting for football season to start up again.

@EricAKATheBelgianGuy 20 дней назад

One amendment to the fumble rule: During the last two minutes of each half (called the "two-minute warning"), if the offense fumbles the ball, only the player who fumbled it can pick it up on *offense.* For example, if it's inside the two-minute warning, and the quarterback fumbles the ball, and the running back picks it up, then the ball is considered dead (I can't remember if it's a turnover or not). If it's outside the two-minute warning, then yes, anybody can pick it up. So, the time of game is important with fumbles.

@bcjammer87 Год назад

Pretty well done video. Once you get past the rules and onto strategy and play calling you realize it’s a very complicated but beautifully designed sport. 22 players on the field and each one has a very specific job depending on the play called. It’s an advanced game of chess with diar physical consequences. I love this game.

NFL has International Games in each season with a few in London. Games played also in Germany this year. There are planned in other countries.

@josephsoto9933 Год назад

Here is some information on "placing" the ball after a play is completed. There are "hash marks" painted on the for every yard. They are along both sidelines and in two columns down the middle of the field from end zone to end zone. Those hash marks are "in line" with the goal posts. If the player with the ball is tackled between the two hash lines the ball is kept there for next play....but if the player goes out of bounds or is tackled between the hashline and the sideline the ball is brought back to the nearest hash line. This basically keeps the ball in the middle third of the field. In college ball the hash marks are NOT in line with the goalposts (more wide) but rather divides the field into equal thirds. Positioning the ball for every play is the same as in the NFL. FYI: you may wonder why sometimes you see a team run in the middle just before a fieldgoal. They just want to make the fieldgoal easier for the kicker...less angle.

@MrTech226 Год назад

Quarterbacks are also known as Field Generals too. Usually, Offensive Coordinator send plays to QB, but QB's can change plays if they see defensive schemes or lineup changes to gain yardage. American Football took some aspects of Rugby. Founders studied Rugby in prior creating the sport.

@MrTech226 Год назад

Head Coach can also send plays to QB's. Defense has its coordinator who sends plays to stop the offense

@GeneBateman1970 Год назад

they forgot about the 1 point safety. if during a extra point try and the defense gets the ball and run it back it is 1 point.

@CaptainFrost32 Год назад

One thing not mentioned: Each half has an automatic break 2 minutes before the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters. These 2 Minute Warnings are in addition to the 3 timeouts per half per team. Unless used for challenges that fail, there could be as many as 14 timeouts between kick-off and final play. This does not include time stops caused by medical attention or results of referee decisions (first downs, checking the chains, penalties, etc.). Time stops when plays are forced out of bounds or passes are incomplete. There is a 30-second timer that runs after the timer stops between plays. If the offense does not get a play started or calls a timeout to stop the clock, then Delay Of Game penalties force the Line of Scrimmage back.

@stlegion-px1wo Год назад

The ability for the coach to challenge a play is fairly new. But they can't challenge a penalty against their team. In overtime the first team to score would win the game. But they changed rule to allow the other team to get the ball if the first score in OT is a field goal. If the first score is a TD the game is over.

@Boodieman72 Год назад

1hr of play has enough stops in it to result in a 3hr game, which means 2hrs of commercials on US TV.

@BigMateo24 Год назад

If you watch college football, another penalty you might want to know is Targeting. Targeting is when a player launches himself at another player with the crown of his head and makes head to head contact against a defenseless player. This results in a personal foul penalty and an automatic 15 yard deduction, as well as the player who was called for targeting to be ejected from the game. If targeting happens in the first half, the player must sit out the rest of the game, if it occurs in the second half, the player will still sit out the rest of the game and the first half of the next game the following week. This penalty was introduced fairly recently, the case for it being to help avoid concussions which could result in C.T.E. It is pretty severe.

@blindleader42 Год назад

That's a pretty detailed description for a beginner to digest. It probably won't make much sense till you watch a couple of games, preferably downloaded so you can pause, rewind and listen to the commentator again to figure out what really happened. So many different things happened in the six seconds that a play usually takes, that there's a good chance you missed some important things. For a simpler and sarcastically entertaining introduction, I highly recommend "A Clueless European’s Guide to the NFL" on the BMOnus channel. It presents a lot of the flavor of football culture in the US. There's no need to watch past the 14:50 point as the rest is just a pitch for fantasy football.

@Bizz4r2m0ke Год назад

I feel like it should also be added that the ball doesn’t necessarily have to cross the goal line, it just has to break the plain. Essentially if the point of the ball is even in the line it’s a touchdown.

@kylehern5132 Год назад

I don't have a specific video in mind, but I think watching a video on just the penalties would be helpful if you want to learn the game. I understand why they didn't put it in this video because there are a lot of different penalties and it would require it's own video. However, not understanding the penalties might make watching games really frustrating if you don't know them. If you watch a team gain 20 yards, but then see those yards taken away, I can see how that could be frustrating if you don't know what happened. Great reaction, though! It's cool to see you're getting into American Football!

@MadKilroy Год назад

One scoring opportunity they left out is the 2 Point Conversion. After scoring a touchdown, the offensive team can elect to try for 2 points instead of kicking an extra point. In this instance, the ball is placed at the 2 yard line and the offensive team essentially tries to score another touchdown and is awarded 2 points if they are successful. It is far riskier to do this. So most teams elect to just kick an extra point. They also left out the Onside Kick. On any kick off, whether it's at the start of the game or after any scoring play, once the ball travels 10 yards the kicking team may recover and take possession of the ball. Generally, the kicker will deliberately kick the ball into the ground towards one side of the field while his teammates charge forward in an attempt to recover the ball. The onside kick is mainly used towards the end of a game, when the kicking team is still behind in the scoring. This gives them a slim chance to try to make a comeback to win the game.

@Terrell070 Год назад

In addition to costing a timeout if you fail, you only get 2 challenges per game. You can get a 3rd challenge if you win both challenges. Inside of 2 minutes, or in overtime there are no challenges & replay reviews are initiated in the booth. All scores & turnovers are also subject to replay review, without the need for a challenge. Note on late touchdowns. If you score a touchdown as time expires, the extra point is only played if it can make a difference in the outcome favorable to the team that scored. So if you score a touchdown that puts you ahead as time expires, the extra point is not played. The same is true if you still trail by 3 or more points after the touchdown.

@nickswinehart1496 Год назад

This is a good video, the really tough part of football is scheming.

@tklalmighty Год назад

6:40 Technically, a drop kick (like in rugby) is also a legal way to score a field goal, but in the past 50+ years it was only successfully done once (in a game already decided, on the try after the touchdown as something of a memorable final play for a retiring quarterback). And there are some peculiar scoring notes around the safety. If a safety is scored by either team on a try or 2pt attempt after the touchdown, only 1 point is scored. This can come up on rare occasions, and is the only theoretical way a team can end a game with 1 point. It is rare for either team to score the 1pt safety because it would either require the offense to lose the ball out of its own end zone (behind them, on the other end of the field), or for the defense to get a turnover, advance out of their end zone, willingly go back into their own end zone, and then be stopped.

These were the offenses several years back. Very few teams use a full back any longer, and they don't use him very often. Today's NFL is more of a passing league these days. They have replaced the full back with an extra receiver, known as the slot receiver. Defenses are replacing a linebacker with a defensive back to cover the slot receiver.

@JustMe-gn6yf Год назад

Also if the extra point attempt is blocked and returned the defense gets 2 points

@davidcopple8071 Год назад

There's also many other rule violations, like holding, off sides, unnecessary roughness, leading with the helmet in a tackle, pass interference, taunting, unsportsmanlike conduct, too many men on the field, intelligible receiver, and for the most serious violations of the rules, like fist fighting with another player, or getting physical with a referee. Can get you throne out of the current game and depending on the seriousness of the violation you could even face a suspension from being able to play at all. There are more. But the best way to learn then is by watching a few games . Ideally with someone who is already familiar with the game.

@johnalden5821 Год назад

You can have ties (draws) in football. If both teams have the same number of points at the end of "regulation" (the four quarters of the standard game), then the rules usually call for overtime. College football has different rules for overtime than the NFL does, and they keep changing the overtime rules anyway. But the current rules in the NFL do allow for a tie in the regular season, if the two teams have the same score at the end of overtime. In the playoffs, however, they will keep playing additional overtimes until somebody wins.

@carcharodoncarcharias9462 Год назад

@ExitiumNL Год назад

Huge Dutch American football fan here. Been taking days off of work for the conference finals and Super Bowl for 20+ years now :) 5:54 Scenarios are usually 'go for two if one point doesn't gain you anything'. Example is when you're leading by 1 (14-13) after the TD. Taking the kick gets you up to 2 (15-13), but since a field goal is 3 points the other team only has to make a FG to beat you. If you make the 2 point conversion, you're leading by 3 (16-13) and they can only tie with a FG. Another example is when you're trailing by 5 (17-22) after the TD. Go for 1 and you're still 4 behind (18-22), which means only a TD is good enough to win. Go for 2 and if you're succesful you can tie with a FG since you're only 3 behind. (19-22) 6:12 Kick is always more or less central. Ball has to be between the two 'hash marks', which are the 1 yard lines running across the field. (the ones you can see just inside the goal posts) If you wanna react to some American football, as a Bronco fan I can recommend the mic'd up Super Bowl 50 vids on the NFL channel. Game has fumbles, interceptions and a challenge, and you can hear the players, coaches and refs speaking to each other.

It's possible to have a draw, or "tie", in American Football. If the game is tied at the end of the 4th quarter an overtime period is played. If the game remains tied at the end of that period the result is a draw. This is a rare scenario that usually only happens if both teams make serious mistakes. But it's not unheard of.

@andrew_ray Год назад

The thing with the 60 minutes though is that unlike in soccer, it doesn't run continuously. Certain types of plays cause the clock to stop between downs while other plays keep the clock running. Teams that are behind will try to make plays that stop the clock, while transit that are ahead will try to make plays that don't. Timeouts also stop the clock until the start of the next down. This means that in real time, a "fifteen-minute" quarter actually runs for twenty to twenty-five minutes or longer.

More correctly, a "sack" always results in a loss of yardage. If you tackle the player on the line of scrimmage or after they pass the line of scrimmage it would not be called a "sack", so, you have to tackle the person behind the line you were on to have a sack.

@Nimbus1701 Год назад

This is a really good starting point to understand the basic rules. It should be noted there are lots of different rules in college football compared to pro football, but many of them pertain to more specific aspects of the game. For example, in pro football, a receiver has to have both feet down in bounds (in the field of play) when they catch a pass for the reception to count. In college, the receiver only has to have one foot down in bounds for a reception to count as a completed pass. There are several other examples as well, and after every year a committee gets together to review rules, and sometimes changes are made. More recent changes have included moving where a kickoff after a score starts. It was adopted to reduce the number of times the receiving team will attempt a return and was done to reduce collisions, or more full speed collisions, and lessen the risk of injury. Other changes have included when the clock is stopped. In college, the clock used to stop after every first down. In the pros, the clock does not stop after a first down unless the player runs out of bounds. Anyway..... there are lots and lots of rules and they differ from the college game to the sports game. Hope you all have a great Christmas!

I'm 40 and my Mom got me into (American) Football. We both have watched our entire lives and there has never been a single game we watched together where we didn't argue about rules or play-calling. Don't feel bad if you trip up on the rules; arguing with family/friends is a big part of Sunday Football.

@randomschmo5778 Год назад

An explanation for non-Americans, in a nutshell, for American football is: Imagine a European football game(what we call soccer), that only has set-plays (about 150 plays per game), and in which you can use your hands.

What a great video!! This has to be my fave video you both reacted too!!! Yes it was awesome!! Why? Because of it showing lots of THE best team in any sport, anywhere in the universe!!...my DALLAS COWBOYS!!!! HaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!! 'Ello from Indiana,Pa. And merry christmas to you both. Love your channel

Speaking of penalties, Personal Fouls are more extreme penalties that team penalized for 15 yards. Now, NFL and College Football has rules for targeting or helmet to helmet can eject suspected player(s) from the game.

With the challenges you're allowed 1 per half with the same rules

I thought it was two per half. Pfft

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld I just double checked. 2 per game. And a 3rd can be awarded if a team wins both challenges.

Players can also score a 1 point safety. It's extremely rare to see the conditions met for this type of score.

A safety is worth two points

@jaydog101st Год назад

@@redsnapper8811 Like I said, a 1 point safety is a very rare play thus it is understandable that many people don't know about it. I've listed a couple of RU-vid videos showing 1 point safety plays. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jp4TeP4rw0s.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KKLKbpWLHJ8.html

Two comments about the video: 1. What they said about the Safety position is just wrong. Their name implies that they back-up the rest of the defense, but even that is too simplistic for all the things a Safety does on a defense. 2. What they said about the Quarterback is also importantly wrong: he doesn't "decide" to throw or hand the ball. These teams develop coordinated plays and they practice them. Every offense player, including the Quarterback, knows exactly what he is going to be doing before the play starts. The QB will sometimes "audible" if he believes the opposing defense is anticipating the play that the offense is running, but that is relatively uncommon.

You should also know about the most common penalties. Offsides and pass interference come to mind- but don’t ask me to explain them 😅

@roger3141 Год назад

A couple of rules that are broken most often are offsides for the defense and false start for the offense. If the defense crosses an imaginary line across the field at the front end of the football before the ball is snapped back to the quarterback, it is offsides and a five yard penalty. If the offensive line moves before the ball is snapped, it is a false start and a five yard penalty. The offense can't hold on to a defensive player trying to get to the quarterback which gets a 15 yard holding penalty. If the defense holds a receiver it is a five yard penalty with automatic first down. Grabbing another player's facemask is a fifteen yard penalty. There are many more but those are most prevalent. In college football, leading a tackle with helmet or shoulder on a defenseless player such as a receiver catching a ball while suspended in the air, receives a targeting penalty and the player is ejected from the game. This is especially called if the blow is to the head or neck area.

@fridaylong2812 Год назад

Football players. Footballers are soccer players. The quarterback's job is to get the ball to someone who can get closer to the goal line. Once the QB no longer has the ball, he's pretty much done until the next play.

@karlalebrun443 Год назад

If you want to tailgate. Go to a Buffalo Bills game.

@rossashby5754 Год назад

He covered the basics here fairly well, but there are many nuances left uncovered. For example, penalties such as holding, pass interference, offside, false start, delay of game etc. And that really just scratches the surface of the totality of the game. TBH it just takes watching it for a while and eventually, as you get a feel for it, it becomes somewhat straightforward.

@nickolasnuber9254 Год назад

They did a pretty good job explaining it within the time frame used. But, there is so much more. If you do manage to make it to the U.S. and want to see an American college football game, I suggest any one of the rivalry games played late in the season (late November, around Thanksgiving weekend).

Dont worry. You catch on. When I was a teenager my younger brother made me watch football. I kind of liked it. Liked the Steelers as they won all the time. I started knowing the players. It was fun. Do not watch anymore. At least now you have something to get you started. Oh. Professional team rules differ from college rules a little bit. Minor stuff. Do not ask me what. Good luck.

@katwithattitude5062 Год назад

But the officials still have trouble deciding what constitutes a catch.

@maxpeck7382 Год назад

Most of the time if the team on offense uses up three downs and is on their forth and final down with yards to go to get a new set of downs they will punt it away to the other team, because if they fail on fourth down to get the yards they need for a new set of downs then they turn over the ball at the field position they were at on their last down. It is most often better to punt it away on fourth down and then stop the punt returner at a point further away from your goal line than you would have turned it over at if your fourth down attempt at yards had been stopped resulting in a at that spot on filed turn over. If a team is down many touch downs and/or it is late in the game with little time left chance of scoring multiple touchdowns to win then a team that is down many points will not punt on fourth down because they are already close to destined to lose the game and so will gamble on fourth downs by running or throwing to gain a new set of downs rather than punt away. It's all about the strategy.

@TonyM1961 Год назад

That covers the very basics and the list of possible penalties is actually quite long so I wasn't surprised to not see them presented, but some of the most common are: Face masking which is just what it sounds where one player grabs another's face mask and doesn't let go. Offsides: A defensive player moves past the line where the ball rests before the ball is snapped to begin play. False start, an offensive player moves before the ball is snapped. This doesn't apply to a running back in motion laterally across the field unless he turns upfield before the snap. 12 (or more) men on the field. Is what it says. You are only allowed 11 men to be on the field during each play. Ineligible receiver, None of the offensive linemen may catch a forward pass and may not proceed downfield until the pass is in the air. Only backs, tight ends and wide receivers are eligible to catch a forward pass. Unnecessary roughness is called when a player commits some form of violence against another player that cannot legitimately be said to be needed to tackle them, the player has given themselves up by going into a slide or is out of bounds when struck. There are many other penalties, but that gives you a primer to try and understand the penalty called and what it means
