my first time ever reacting to nfl, these dudes are unreallll. whats your thiughts? original video - • NFL Most Athletic Play... british guy reacts to nfl. first time nfl reaction. nfl is crazy. #nfl #nflreaction #firsttimereaction
Just in case no ones mentioned it yet but the “white and blue” team you was referring to was like 3 different teams. Their shades of blue are a bit different, usually you can tell the team by looking at the logos on their helmets.
Not only that, but every team has a "home" and "away" version of their uniform, and many teams have a third version, plus the NFL allows them to mix the uniforms together, so there are many different combinations they could be wearing. On top of that, there are occasional specialty uniforms, like throwback uniforms or camouflage for games played near Veteran's Day. But the helmets always stay the same except for very special occasions.
@@meactions9373 5:00 that man you said how did he find a gap. In case you havnt discovered who 20 Barry Sanders is I suggest you look up Barry Sanders highlight videos. The man is a freak of nature, and one of the most humble men to walk the eartn. He retired while he was in the UK a day before he was to report to work and could have shattered any and all running records. In a game of blowhard showoffs he would look for the official and hand hime ball, that was my favorite thing about him. If you read this and research this man I will look forward to your video just about him
0:59 Yes it counts as a Touchdown 2:16 Yes this one also counts as a Touchdown 5:53 counts as a Touchdown as well 8:27 counted as Touchdown 9:16 counted as Touchdown 10:00 Touchdown 11:56 it's a Touchdown as well 12:22 Touchdown 12:34 Touchdown You obviously get the point with these multiple clips that it doesn't matter if the player's body is out of bounds as long as the ball is in bound it is counted as a Touchdown. For a TD to be counted the ball has just got to cross the end zone line or player has to hit the pylon (the small orange pole). It don't matter if your body is out of bounds or your body doesn't cross the end zone line as long as the ball crosses it while it is in your possession, now for the given clips wherein a player is inside the endzone they just need to catch it but both their feet must touch the ground after catching the ball.
@@meactions9373 and to be clear, it counts when you dive for the pylon and your body is out of bounds ONLY if your body doesnt touch out of bounds first. You gotta be in air if you wanna touch the pylon while going out of bounds.
@@meactions9373 Specifically, as long as the ball breaks the plain of the Goal Line, than it's considered a Touch Down in American Football, unlike Rugby, there is no need to actually touch the ball to the ground.
2:25 in American football as soon as the runner makes the football break the plane of the goal line it is a touchdown. When the ball is thrown in to the end zone the receiver has to complete the catch (both feet down with full possession of the ball) in bounds for it to count.
At their best, NFL players are the most elite speed and power athletes in the world. Many of them are capable of reaching speeds faster than Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich. Furthermore, they achieve those speeds in a shorter time, on a smaller, more congested playing surface, whilst wearing full kit, pads, helmet, etc. Bo Jackson is considered by many to be the best, most complete athlete America ever produced. He was an all-star caliber player in the NFL and in Major League Baseball - simultaneously. He is the fastest documented player in history, was insanely powerful, and could throw a baseball over 100 meters with astonishing accuracy. Another candidate for best athlete ever, is Herschel Walker. Walker played for a dozen years as a professional, was an Olympic bobsledder, and then capped it off with a brief but successful stint as an MMA fighter. He took up professional fighting well into his 40's. Incidentally, Odell Beckham is an avid football (world game, not NFL) fan and was an elite youth player in his own right. If memory serves, he's a Tottenham fan.
It’s amazing how fast they are with all the kit they have to wear, unreal. I’ve never heard of bo Jackson and Herschel walker, I’m gonna have to look them up, thanks man 👍🏻 Yeah I think I’ve seen a video of him playing football actually, so talented
@@meactions9373 I'm a devoted fan of "both footballs" (Celtic FC - Up the Hoops!). The world game is actually my first sporting passion, TBH. But I played and enjoyed both. At 51, I still sometimes substitute in a local men's league as a center back. I can still keep up with the young bucks for a while - although, I confess my recovery time and pace aren't what they used to be.
Celtic are exciting to watch under ange👍🏻 haha really? Was you always a centre back or did you start moving further back as you got older and less mobile? 😂 51 and still playing though? You must’ve done something right. I was centre back for the first 10 years I played and I moved to centre forward for the last 10 years I’ve played 👍🏻
@@meactions9373 Ange is the perfect guy for Celtic, and he's difficult not to like and admire. He seems to have a great eye for undervalued talent. Furthermore, as an American and fellow member of the nontraditional footballing diaspora, I was enthusiastic about him whilst my fellow Celtic fans were moaning about getting done over by Eddie Howe. I now say, "Eddie WHO?" F*ck that clown. Years ago, when I played competitively and dinosaurs roamed the earth, I primarily played defensive center mid/the destroyer role. Yes, as age has crept up, I'm much better suited to holding down the fort on the back line. Father Time is undefeated, after all. If you have sincere interest in American football, you should take in a game. Several are played in London every year. There will also be a college game in Dublin in August. My home state university (Nebraska) will be playing Northwestern University at Croke Park. It is an idiosyncrasy of American sport that amateur university teams are followed by as many people, and more passionately, than professionals. 8 of the 10 largest stadia in the world are devoted exclusively to college football. For the Dublin game, 25,000 Nebraskans will travel to Ireland. Nebraska fans are famously devoted, despite the team's mediocrity in recent years. They have sold out every home game (stadium capacity, 90k) since 1962.
Yeah ange is quality, it’s good to wavch them at the moment, very attacking team, yeah I indeed stand I never liked Eddie Howe before he’s done a good job at Newcastle though. How did you get into Celtic? 😂😂😂dinasours roamed the earth, I call defensive mid the engine room, I bet you can read the game well then if you’re still playing 👍🏻 I’ve already looked at ticket prices and stuff, they play in London witch is only like 2 hours from me, I’d love to go to a game the atmosphere looks crazy. I find it mad how big college football is, they’ve sold out every home game since1962? That’s unbelievable to me, someone else said they get so many fans because it’s a lot of travelling to go and see the nfl games but everyone pretty much has a college football stadium close to them
There is a clip of a Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle, 330 pounds, reacting to an interception literally chasing and catching the defensive back 100 pounds lighter than he is. Doesn't matter, the big guy just does it...chases him from a flat footed start, runs him down, takes him out.
@@meactions9373 Dude's name is Larry Allen. Apparently he would line up and honk like an incoming train if the ball was coming his side, daring the defense to do something about it.
As long as the ball crosses the goalline or touches those orange sticks its a TD. If you catch the ball in the endzone though you need to get 2 feet down in bounds with control of the ball. If you have the ball in your control before the endzone and carry the ball over the line or touch the orange markers on the sides its a TD.
That orange stick is in bounds, so if they touch on the field side, it's a touchdown On that one play where the guy got ran down, the guy with the ball was a defensive player The guy that ran him down was one of the fastest in the NFL
As long as the ball breaks the plane of the endzone and the player hasn't touched out of bounds at the moment the ball breaks that plane, it counts as a touchdown.
To score a touchdown the ball carrier merely has to "break the plane" of the goal line with the ball. He doesn't have to be in the endzone unless he is catching a pass. He just has to get the tip of the ball over the imaginary line extending upward from the goal line. By touching the orange cone at the line he is by definition doing so therefore it counts as a touchdown.
Thanks a lot man, I’ve done another nfl video that will be out tonight, there’s something called the line of scrimmage? I don’t understand what that is either
Scoring - a touchdown occurs when the ball is ran into or caught in the end zone. Only the ball has to cross the white line, called the goal line. Touchdowns are worth 6 points. The offense may kick an extra point or point after touchdown (PAT). PATS are almost always successful. The offense may also attempt a 2 point conversion, which are less common due to the high risk of failure. The offense may also kick the ball through two posts of the Y-shaped field goal in the end zone. This is called kicking a field goal. Field goals are worth 3 points. While it does not happen often, a safety is when an offensive player gets tackled in his own end zone. The points are given to the defense. The defense can also score by running an interception back or recovering a fumble and taking it to the end zone.
Just know that the any millimeter of the football crosses the goal line counts. Like think of a sheet that is stretched out at the front end of the goal line. If the ball "breaks the plan" it counts.
If the offensive player with the ball is tackled in the end zone or steps out of bounds in the end zone, that's a safety, 2 points to the defending team, and defense gets the ball on the 40. Exception if the player received a kick within the end zone and does not step out of the end zone, he can touch one knee to the ground and that is a touchBACK, his team starts on their 20, no points. If he even puts a toe on the field of play then retreats and takes the knee, that's a safety. If a kick goes through the back of the end zone, that's a touchback.
7:25 that wasn’t a defender running after the person that intercepted the ball , it was a Wide receiver and ran after him because in order to save a touchdown
This is why we think American Football is the greatest game. No other sport displays this kind of athleticism over and over again. On this play Budda Baker (in red) makes an interception and runs the length of the field -- already a spectacular play -- when here comes Tyler Lockett, closing with improbable speed and making a touchdown-saving tackle. Remember, Lockett is a member of the offense. Pursuit and tackling isn't his regular job.
4:21 - if the ball carrier is tackled in his own end zone, by the other team, it's a "safety", 2 points for the other team. Then on the next play the team who gave up the safety would have to kick the the ball to the other team from their own 20. So if the Running Back had been tackled in his own endzone, their opponents would've gotten 2 points, and the oppposing offense would have possession of the ball in great field position. That's why it was a great play to get out of the endzone even if he didn't get very far. Of course if the back fumbled the ball in the endzone and the opposing defense recovered it, then it WOULD be a touchdown for the other team.
should react to "Joseph Vincent" on youtube. he makes documentary like videos on all the star players of basically every american sport. The one for mahomes "Ring One" is pretty good but they are all super entertaining.
Yes it counts in American football the only thing the ball has to do is touch the chalk for it to be a touchdown so technically if I was tackled on the 1 yard line but the ball was on the chalk it’s a touchdown
That’s what amazes me even more, how fast they move with all that gear on, surely the helmets mess with your peripheral vision aswel and they’re still pulling out one handed catches, unreal
It is counted as a touchdown when the football breaks the end zone plane, however, the person carrying the ball cannot be "down" before the ball breaks the field.
When you said the white and blue team is good because you've seen them alot, its because theres 3 lol. The panthers (bad), bills (very good), and colts (kinda mid)
Amazing sport, with amazing athletes, also college football is even bigger, in fact, the largest stadiums in the US is college not NFL stadiums. There are three other big sports here baseball, basketball and hockey, and plenty of great videos to react to.
@@meactions9373 that's more like an NLF stadium-size an MLB would be half that amount. remember college games are free, if they had to pay NFL ticket prices I doubt even a thousand would show up. college attendance varies wildly, a div 3 team may only get a 500 spectators a div1 may get 65K the same as an NFL team, college basketball can do 5K and a few can get 25K the same as an NBA team, college baseball does well on tv but very poorly in attendance, some team may only get 500 the best only 10K and average MLB team can get 30K.
That white and blue team you kept noticing was the Carolina Panthers, and they’re currently not in the best shape. They went to the Super Bowl like 7 or 8 years ago but ended up losing out to Peyton Manning (one of the best QBs ever) in his last ever game. They did just sign a new QB but they haven’t really been a playoff contender recently and probably won’t be this years either. -a Panthers fan
Ohhh yeah, nice one man, I’ve actually heard of peyton manning. So does it work out if you have the best quarter back you’ll be one of the best teams??
@@meactions9373 not particularly but it is nice to have a good QB, the Rams QB Matthew Stafford for example played most of his career on a bad team despite being very talented and when he finally got his move to the LA Rams he won a super bowl in his first go
Simple rule...the body position of the player does not matter so long as no body part touches the ground out of bounds before any part of the ball touches a vertical plane rising from the goal line. This should be objective, but referees csnnot be warching ball and feet and knees and hands all at ince. So bad calls happen
I just knew his name from an Eminem song, I knew Marshawn lynch from a Brooklyn 99 episode and I’d seen a few clips here and there of Beckham jr a few years ago
waterboy is college not the NFL.for some fun ,check out the funniest touchdown celebrations.there are 32 NFL teams and the NFL is the wealthiest sports league in the world the MLB is second.also if a city has an NFL team it probably also has a NBA and MLB team
Thanks man, I’ll be checking out more nfl videos anyway, I’ve always wondered how the league works, is it the best 2 teams at the end of the season that play each other in the Super Bowl?
@@meactions9373 I don't follow the NFL I'm MLB and some college football but from quora: The NFL is comprised of two separate conferences. The National Football Conference (NFC) The American Football Conference (AFC) Within each conference are 4 divisions. East, west, south and central. Follow me so far? Each division has 4 teams giving each conference 16 teams for a total of 32 for the entire league. At the end of each season, each division has a champion which earn a playoff berth. Thats 4 teams each conference. Also., each conference also has two “Wild Card” teams which are the two best teams, based on records, who did not win their division. Kind of like 2nd runner up. The playoffs begin with each conference, the AFC & NFC, each having a total of 6 playoff teams. Those teams than play each other within the conference and the last two teams, again, one from the AFC and one from the NFC are left and they play in the Super Bowl for the league championship. there are 10 main conferences in college football and each has its own version of the Superbowl. cactus bowl peach bowl rose bowl and so on.
Oooooo ok ok I’m starting to understand, I had to read it a few times to take it in, I didn’t realise it was as complicated as that, thanks for the breakdown man, I’m looking forward to checking some more out
I actually done a hits video, was meant to put it out last weekend but laptop screen broke so I’ve had to order a new laptop, but I’ll do another hits video 👍🏻
You can hit anyone one the field at any time with only a few exceptions. Play does not stop when someone loses a helmet. People are injured all of the time, some with career ending injuries. 3 or 4 may be unable to play for few weeks. There has only been one death in an NFL game. But it was a heart attack. In the early days of football there were many deaths in College football. In those days there was no helmet or a simple leather scull cap. WWI fighter pilots used them too. American football is a violent sport. No other sport in the world can compare, not even Australian rules Rugby.
@@meactions9373 the helmets looked different back then. This is American football in 1913 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Nk906VKQwM.html
@@meactions9373 he was on the giants first and was sent to the browns bc he was being a locker room cancer. Forced his way out again from Cleveland to the LA rams and won the super bowl. He is still injured and without a team at the moment but a number of teams are keeping an eye on him for when he's closer to 100%
@@meactions9373 yeah they won't need to give any other teams anything for him. He's a free agent. My team in the Ravens have got to be looking at him; real talent at a position of weakness for us. He probably won't be signed till later in the season bc of his knee still healing and he'll be less expensive on wages too
If anything, in rugby it should be called a touchdown because you actually have to touch it down, whereas in American football it should just be called a try because you don’t have to touch it down
@@meactions9373 no that was a Cornerback; Marion Barber III was found in his home just yesterday and the cause of death hasn’t been released to the public
We love our football, but when you ask how these guys got thru to make these plays, the 'Big Guys' that made these openings for them never get any credit. Please look at the NFL BEST OFFENSIVE LINEMAN videos. Please make sure it's recent. These are huge men, most weighing between 350 and 400 pounds (or more), most are at least 6'-5" tall, very quick for their size and are the Unsung Heroes of the football from peewee (age 7), through high school, college and into the NFL. They are the reason most of these plays happen. 🏈🏈🏈
Yeah the quarter backs and wide receivers seem to get all of the glory. Like i think I’d only heard of Odell beckham and tom Brady before I started watching it. 350-400?? That’s unbelievable, I’ll add it to my list to watch man thanks 👍🏻
In American football you don’t have to actually touch the ball down, despite the name, which reflects the origins of the sport from a rugby type of football. The rule is that any part of the ball passing the vertical plane of the goal line counts as a touchdown. When you see them reaching for the orange pylon it’s because that pylon stands exactly on the inside corner of the end zone so it’s impossible for the ball to touch it without crossing the goal line, so if it’s touched there’s no question, it’s a touchdown.
Thanks man I appreciate it, someone else mentioned in the comments that in rugby it should be called a touchdown because you have to actually touch the ball down witch makes sense but it’s called a try in rugby
