NFL HITS ARE INSANE! | Soccer Fan Reacts to NFL KNOCKOUT HITS!🤯 #2 

Live reactions! www.twitch.tv/adamcouser

So, in High school, I played Left Guard on Offense and Middle Linebacker on Defense, but on the rarest of occasions I would line up at the Tight End position when the starter was out or needed a break. During a play where I was at the Tight End position, I went on a simple five and in pattern across the middle. I.E. I went forwards five yards than cut a turn towards the center of the field. While the pass never went my way, one of the other teams players took an opportunity to run as fast and as hard as they could through the side of my face mask, giving me a whiplash concussion, *my head was whipped side to side with such force it was like getting punched by a heavyweight prize fighter.* I wasn't knocked out, but I still recall watching my mouthpiece spin slowly through the air as I wobbled on rubber legs for a bit, sat out for a couple of series on both sides of the ball than went back in later, and finished up the game. The moral of the story is that yes, it was a little bit of a cheep shot on the other guys part, but it's also on me to have been more aware of my surroundings combined with a big dash of *Rub some dirt on it and get back in there.* nature of the game, if you go across the middle, your going to get hit, that's just how it is.

5:54 The reason the defensive lineman is taunting the quarterback is because the QB is taking out the lineman's knees (from out of his field of vision). That's a dirty block. The QB could have wrecked that guy's career.

Played hockey most of my life. The good part about being knocked out is you don’t know you’re knocked out. In all seriousness though, I had a concussion once that had symptoms for nearly two months after. It sucks.

5:24 - The ball has to break the plane of the end zone while you have control of it for it to be a touchdown.

Just so you know, that hit at 3:25 permanently scrambled Antonio Brown’s brain. Ever since then he’s been batshit crazy.

I was at that game at 10:17. will never forget hearing the sound of that hit over one of the loudest crowds I’ve ever been in

Finally the NFL is back Thank you

6:31 and that is where the story of an unknown backup quarterback named Tom Brady started

Between 7 years of youth/high school football, the worst hits I took were: 1. being upended and landing helmet-first. Knocked out cold, needed smelling salts 2. I once got crushed by a legal blindside block on a punt return, talk about getting the wind knocked out of you. Lots of other contact and injuries, but not from hits like these.

6:50 Kevin Everett wasn't knocked out, he was paralyzed. Despite diagnoses he _was_ able to very gingerly walk again several years later.

Played football for 12 years roughly 17 seasons from youth to arena football all the way through high school. My career ended with 2nd ACL tear, but I had my good share of concussions (7) throughout as a wide receiver my most recent and worst one was freshman year of high school was on kickoff return and a 6 ft 2 (me 5 ft 7) came clean unblocked and launched me 5-10 yards back and knocked me unconscious for about 5 minutes.

You should react to Jeff Gordon's biggest wrecks of his career. I know he was one of nascars all time bests but he took some big hits through the years. And I find it funny how many times you heard his name in your nascar wreck reactions lol

That’s why there are so many players on an NFL team, because so many first string players get injured. It’s a brutal sport. And fans can’t get enough.

At 5:49, the reason #99 seems to be taunting is because of where the Dolphins player hit him on the block- his knees. His career could have been seriously impacted. Does it make his taunting ok? Not in the slightest, but it does explain why he did it.

Aren't contact sports just lovely?! Lol, great reaction Adam! 😊👍

Taking the receiver 😢 head off is no long legal. There was a time where that would make a highlight reel on ESPN.

I absolutely love you you make me laugh even if I've had a bad day

I think you would enjoy the "NFL announcers with 0 context (sus/funny moments)" video based off of your reaction to the "Goodwin got unloaded upon" part 😂

When i played i was the usually dishing these kind of hits out but in return I've got my bell rung a few times as well.

React to most incredible catches in NFL history next

I played Quarterback in highschool and threw a slant across the middle of the field, it was tipped and intercepted, I turned and started running up field to try and cut him off and took a blind side hit from a linebacker to the head. Good block but put me out for a minute, ended up having a concussion too

My son has played since he was 4 years old, 15 now and playing high school. He plays flag football during the spring to stay conditioned which doesn’t allow tackling and in a flag game broke his wrist breaking up a pass.

well i’ve had one of these in lacrosse about a year ago but i don’t remember anything from that day

Americans love this (and I'm one of 'em). It's sick. They actually used to have a weekly show of "this week's brutal hits" (or something like that). They were forced to take it off the air.

the clip at 8:47, the guy going in for the hit gave up a stupid Late Hit penalty. The guy was still half way across the field when the whistles to stop the play start sounding (the players forward momentum stopped, causing the play to end.) Dude just continues running at full speed and cleans the guy out.

Tis a great bit o fun. I played til my orthopedic doc told me: "If you want to be able to walk when you get older, stop now!" Broke the tip off my femur, tore acl, mcl sprained the synovial capsule in my knee and a few other bits there in. Only got my clock cleaned once, it was my fault. Coach ALWAYS said if you get through the line untouched, someone is coming from the side to hit you, so turn and brace. I did not and little birdies were flying around! I played NT, OT and some special teams.

its a touchdown when the ball carrier or receiver catches or takes possession of the ball and enters the end zone , while still having it ball in hand and doesn't lose it hitting the ground, if he does.

i took a big hit at practice last year. i had a headache for like an hour and my chest hurt real bad. i sure felt the hit the day after as well

An interesting fact: In 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt invited several college football coaches to the White House and told them that if they didn't clean up the sport, he would ban it. You see too many football players were getting crippled, disfigured or even killed. They had no protective gear at all. The players were vicious with fighting; gouging out eyes; biting, also no one wanted to referee.

Love your commentary, for the videos, we need follow up of the injuries!

I was a center in high school and a helmet to helmet is brutal u see a white flash and then a buzzing and as the buzzing slowly goes away a headache comes right along. I had three concussions so I decided not to go the college route.

2:20 is so much funnier than it should be 😂

To give you an idea of how hard they hit each other, the linemen who weigh between 270-350 pound hit each other with the same force as driving a pickup truck into a brick wall at 35 MPH and they are only 2 feet away from each other when before hitting each other do this over a thousand times a season. Now imagine how hard the other players who weigh between 170-240 pounds running down the field full speed and hitting each other.

I played 6 years of American youth football 🏈 and was a line backer and nose guard and right guard...... when I was a line backer I would drill players into the ground.

@6:29, that is the hit that tore Bledsoe's ACL and led to the start of Tom Brady's career.

I have been knocked out cold in a game being hit by a 250 lb lineman. They put me back into the game when I woke up and asked to keep playing 😂

as someone who has played football quite a bit, I have seen a lot of bad hits. I've seen a friend get tackled from the side a second after one of his cleats got stuck in a divot in the grass. he both fractured, and dislocated his femur. Another friend got hit in the low back, and had to be taken to the hospital because he lost feeling in his legs. He's fine now, but he came close to being paralyzed. I've seen arms get broken, I've seen ankles get dislocated/broken, I've seen friends get concussions, I've seen friends blow out their knees. I've seen just about everything football has to offer in terms of injuries. It all comes back to someone using improper form to do something on the field. Coming in to tackle someone with your head down is going to injure both of you. Hitting someone too low can cause serious injury. slamming your helmet into your opponents helmet can injure both players. you can put in all the rules and regulations you want, but football is still a CONTACT sport. even when you do things properly, there is still a risk for injury.

played football through highschool the hits were hard and the blocks are allowed as long as its not behind the place in the back or holding

to your question in the previous video, number 83 in the third clip wasn’t able to play after that hit. heartbreaking and frustrating too, he was on his way to a legendary career as a wide receiver

5:19 buddy knocks them both out spooning ! 😂

Block away from the ball is legal. This is why coaches tell you to keep your head on swivel and play till the whistle blows. You're gonna get blown up if you don't

They’re called hospital balls. When the QB leads the receiver into a brutal hit.

Ive dished out a hit like that to a quarterback once u celebrate and enjoy every second but if their is an injury ur the first one making sure their ok

9:20 No idea why but that cracked me up.

My 17 year old son got hit like this last week in his high school game. It was a HARD hit. Guy came from the side and leveled him. After the game we went home and he did his math homework. Anybody who has ever played football can tell you if you gonna play give it all you got or don't even suit up.

Ur right Adam when u say, 'Why R they not dead'. LOL Enjoyed though.

@5:15 the average NFL career is 3 years, 10 years is kinda what you aim for outside a few positions that is considered long.

Context to why #99 was taunting the QB is because the QB was attempting a cut block when the DL wasn't looking and it was right to his knee. This is a very dangerous play that has been made illegal. Guys get their knees all tore up, especially when their cleats are still in the ground.

Guy blocked low around the knees and knocked himself out. The reason he was being taunted was because his block was considered extremely dirty.

5:54 thats a no go in American football, blindside cut blocks like that usually starts fights. You can say the guy making the block got hit with karma..

In American Football, a touchdown constitutes the ball, while in positive control of a player, breaks the plane of the goal line. It is based off the ball and not the runner. Just like how in Soccer has to cross the goal plane.

What up Adam I’m a new subscriber and I got a couple video ideas you could react to you could look up Jason Williams highlights aka “white chocolate” basketball video his passes are incredible and you could also do some nascar reactions like closest finishes or biggest wreaks I find those enjoying!! Thanks dude for all the laughs 🙌🏻

Hey Adam! Not sure if you know, but passes across the middle of the field are called “hospital” or “morgue” passes… because that’s where you end up when you catch them! Have a good one!

i’ve taken hits like these before, i play high school ball and my freshman year on varsity my small ass got laid out by a senior safety, i don’t know how i’m still standing

"How long are these guy's careers?" - Well... there's peewee football starting at age 9. Then moving into Junior High School and High School Football until 18ish years old, then 3ish years of College. Then.... then... if they're very "lucky" and are good enough and have not sustained any career ending injuries, they can be drafted to play Pro. The average career is 3.3 years, but that skyrockets up to 11.7 years if they make a pro bowl at any point during their career.

You gotta react to the downhill cheese chasing competition!!! or any face slap competitions!!!!

The guy hit in the thumbnail is Ricardo Lockette, it also happened to be the last play of his professional career as he was forced to medically retire. A shame, he was the best gunner i've ever seen on special teams.

Looks more like a game of tackling the opposition, they jumping and flying like missile head first into players rather than trying to snatch the ball from players hand😵‍💫😵‍💫

I got a concussion and sprained spine after a head on collision back in high school.

3:18 if I’m not mistaken, he had to be placed in an ambulance from the field and stopped breathing at some point.

damn- it started so fast you could not even breatheeeeeeeeee = OMG it is truly a miracle that there are not more really serious injuries- Everything going in different directions that it was not intented to go in ! dsmn-

It’s like getting hit by a freight train with some of these huge guys

You want to see something crazy check out career ending hits in the nfl or little less dark, react to broken bones and the like.

As someone who plays lacrosse, which is similar in some ways, helmet to helmet is the absolute worst

The quick one you didn't comment on from the Bills. Everrett. He actually got paralyzed on that play. Crazy sport but we love it. Not sure what that says.

Try these hits with no padding or helmets.... Highschool yard football ... I remember one guy he was the back up QB and we rolled him out.... Tackled and rolled over top... He ended up having major concussion from smacking his head against the ground and splitting it open.... Our WR got a back injury and was out out for good.... I mean we played mean and full out no pads... I always thought this shit was normal... And I'm Canadian haha

Theis is why they pay WR's what they do. There are 2 types of defensive backs that play the game. Assassins and thieves. (Ed Reed was both which made him incredible) Assassins are focused on planting his shoulder in the upper part of the rib cage just under the arm pit. Chances are the WR won't extend his arms for the rest of the game. Thieves know how to position themselves to steal the ball while the Assassin destroys the receiver. There is strategy in the game. A lot of it is how to put your people in the best spots so this doesn't happen to them. Your really don't want to test how much pain your players can eat each week. Save that for the playoffs.

Those helmet-to-helmet hits were not specifically illegal when most of this footage was shot, although the officials could call "unnecessary roughness" if they thought it was deliberate. But now they're specifically illegal even if inadvertent. You also can't lead with your helmet into any part of the opponent's body. And if you're sacking the quarterback, you can't fall on him with your whole weight. A long long time ago (like 100 years), yes, to score a touchdown you had to get into the end zone with the ball and then literally touch it to the ground. Things have been made much easier since then. All you have to do is momentarily break the plane of the goal line with any part of the ball while you have control of it. Or even touch the ball to one of those blaze-orange foam pylons sticking up from the front corners of the end zone.

At 00:56 that was Seahawks Ricardo Lockette and his his injury was career ending. His injury was so severe that if anyone tried to pick him up other then the way a professional medical personnel would of HE SOULD OF DIED. This is in no way an exaggeration he would of died right then and there.

There are multiple career ending concussions in the NFL.

Let's go!!!

You should watch worst supercross crashes!

I played hockey growing up and the helmet to helmet hits are the worst. I suffered a concussion from a hit like that once in high school. I can tell you without a doubt that it hurts like hell... for days after too. I was out for a week because of the hit. Still one of the worst I took in my career but it's part of the game and something you should always expect in contact sports.

I’ll always prefer taking a hard football hit over a hockey hit lmao

I was center (guy who holds the ball before every play) and both my knees are gone, right ankle's gone, collar bone is destroyed, nerve damage in my shoulder, my fingers can bend backwards now, my neck pops if I look to the side too fast, and more! Great sport if you want ti die in your 20"s lol

Look up Mob Ball happens once a year on the Scottish English border and is absolutely wild Essentially the goal is for your team to get the ball to the Other side of town and visa versa only rule is legit don’t kill anyone

U should check out some AFL hits, since we aren’t wearing padding and helmets like these dudes :)

10:00 in that hit Boldin broke multiple bones in his face and needed reconstructive surgery.

No one dies and these guys play this game for years, they are big and strong and though you see them laying still sometimes they all get up, there are some injuries some head problems but its rare and they come back in the next game, but now you can not hit with your helmet above the shoulder, taunt a player or hit them out side the side lines. As long as the ball crosses the line then its a touch even if the player does not.

I got hit so hard in practice that I was coughing up blood for like 5 minutes

Average career is 4 years. The best players routinely carve out 12-17 year careers. T.O is 49 playing in a new football league

yes this sport is crazy, thats why we love it!

Who else remembers Austin Collie? I remember him because it seemed like he was constantly getting murdered

Nose of the ball have to cross the white line (leading edge) of the end zone while in possession. If the ball oscillates in the hands before it crosses (looses possession)it is not a touchdown

It is sad how easy it is to pick out the concussion on almost every hit... The hands/arms going into a 'protective pose' to prevent your head from hitting the ground as you fall forward is a tell-tale nervous system response of a concussion.

Helmet to helmet contact is not a foul. It is if you target your opponent with the crown of the helmet. That means a contact primarily with the crown, lauching into opponent.

Yeah the concussion rate and amounts of injuries the NFL doesn't want to talk about is actually absurd. The life expectancy for these guys is only higher because of how much they make

I was returning a kick one time and saw a hole so big I thought I was on my way to reach pay dirt....little did I know in all of my excitement my vision narrowed on the gap. And next thing I knew my ear pads popped out of my helmet mouth guard flew out of my mouth and I'm trying to pick myself up from the grass wondering where the fuck the guy that rocked me came from as collectedy pads and mouth guard

They are dancing after a hit partially because there used to be an awards system for players who take out opposing players. This bounty system is now illegal but used to be a pretty common reward system amongst the teams. Guys used to get paid to hurt the opponent. Lol

Used to play high school football played defense end and x out receiver, being on defense playing the end. I have had my fair share of hits and hitting and I can tell you that it is an absolute rush. Playing the x out and trying to catch the ball when being thrown to you personally I would try to put myself in jumping positions to get hit in the air only for the fact of the picture, thought it was even better when my helmet came flying off. Got more pictures of me playing defense than offense, heck how I played me d end position I got national ranked in top 5 for sacks and unfortunately ended 3 quarterbacks football careers As far as today is standing and those hits I have alot of memory problems. And forgetting almost instantly what is told to me

As brutal as rugby is, you hear more about CTE with football players than with rugby.

You should react to Cale Makar highlights. He is the best defenseman in the NHL.

Hey bro. No idea if you are interested in suggestions but maybe check out Rugby league biggest hits. They are mental!!

He's on the move Not for long 😂

As long crosses the plane of the goal line, it's a touchdown.

You should react to Marshawn Lynch Seattle Seahawks NFL I think you would like him keep up the good vids

You should react to nascar angry radio it’s crazy

Nah, the hit at 8:13 was legal. That was a clean block

So some of these hits are just a lil bit older. But im a very firm believer that there should be a rule change! If a player gets knocked unconscious, it should not be a live ball, you should not be able to recover, the play should be blown dead. The person getting knocked out has no chance of recovering the ball. LETS GO # RULE CHANGE!!! LMAO
