The Saints got a steal in Kamara. He's so damn strong with the low center of gravity. If he's stays healthy and humble and doesn't get in trouble, hes gonna have a great career
He might have the best balance of any RBs right now in the league... Constantly stays up and sheds tackles. He could be more crisp on the jukes and etc but he was only a rookie imagine in a few years what he can do.
I remember a ten yard td he had where he wqs stumbling and pulled a spin move while falling i got up screamin there was a few people watching with me they thought i over reacted but while it looked meh the athletic feat was a preview to what he could be does anybody else remember that play on the left side of the field

I could honestly keep going but I think you get the point.
we're so so so lucky to have brees in new orleans. forget everything he's done on the field, we're just blessed to have that man in our community setting a good example and helping out.
Wow never saw that rookie of the year on both sides of the ball for the same team in the same year. Cam won ORoy and the next year Luke won DRoy. The same season though damn!!! You got to be proud of ya draft dudes.
HopeAfterDope AMEN BROTHER! Butch Jones could recruit BUT COULD NOT DEVELOP TALENT! I really would love to have seen both JOSHUA DOBBS AND ALVIN KAMARA UNDER THE JEREMY PRUITT REGIME! Not to mention JALEN HURD! #GoBigDamn🍊 #JustPruitt #ButchJonesSux
I disagree Butch fucked up him and Hurd. Should have both been in with Dobbs. a heavy option game like Auburn ran with those two and dobbs . Don't forget Hurd is the size of Derrick Henry with great hands.Hell probably dominate playing wr at Baylor and be a 1st or second round pick
Connor Curtiss I get what you're saying.. but we never outrecruited bama. I love Pruitt but to call him the next saban would be silly unti until he proves himself
The research is cool man. That’s just you taking time to learn about them and honestly sometimes we learn stuff too. If people are hating for that, they’re just impatient people who only want clickbait stuff. I like you cause you’re real man, and it’s fun seeing how you react to different stuff in their bios. Keep doing you man!
FOOKING FINALLY AFTER MY 100th REQUESTS‼️‼️ NOW WE WAIT ON MICHAEL THOMAS AND MARSHON LATTIMORE Edit: and Drew Brees, the most accurate qb in nfl history🤫
THANK YOU! Kamara Vid. was great... Ladainian Thomlinson should be your next Video. The best RB in the NFL for years. He made Fantasy Football relevant.
The thing about going limp is definitely what makes him so effective and difficult to bring down. So cool to see him just let his arm go limp so slip past a blocker when you see so many guys run into the lineman and it effects their run path. Amazing!
React to fan reactions to the end of the 2013 Iron Bowl. Auburn hosting Alabama. Each year the Iron Bowl divides Alabama for a day ... and unites them too.
9:30 For the most part, yes. But the QB can also change plays before the ball is snapped. They can send one person in motion (move across formation pre-snap), snap the ball mid-motion, change O-Line protection, etc. Also, they can even do go no-huddle and take advantage of no-substitution to get another play off, or spike the ball to stop the clock late in the game.
Good to see you understanding the aspects of football that is much more like a chess match with crazy moving pieces then just dudes being crazy athletic. That deep understanding of the game is what makes some players so great not necessarily because they are freak athletes, but how great their game knowledge is.
I'm a fan of both Brett and Jacob but I think Jacob should watch those videos on his own time. A lot of time and work goes into those player breakdowns and people should go to Brett's channel and watch those videos there to help support the creator 👍
It's funny because I was actually about to suggest this as well. Brett Kollmann makes very in-depth videos that do a nice job explaining offensive and defensive plays with good examples and graphics to help illustrate the points. Admittedly, sometimes he goes a bit hard on the jargon without explaining it, so it might sometimes be difficult for a relatively new viewer like Jacob to fully understand things when he (Brett) says things like the Mike LB or the A Gap etc. Even so, if Jacob truly wants to take his understanding of the game to another level, Brett Kollmann's videos are a good place to start (as long as you keep a reference tab open in the background to look up some of the jargon).
Like the announcer said his balance is incredible. He doesn’t break tackles by bulling through people it’s just that he finds a way to keep his balance through being hit. It’s crazy to watch an honestly amazing. He’s got a bright future ahead of him
I also recommend Kareem Hunt! He led the NFL in yardage last year but him and Alvin were head to head for OROY all year long and both similar play style! Been loving the vids man!
The Saints as a team were brutal at running the ball in 2017. 5th in total rushing yards, tied for 1st in yards per attempt, and 1st by a wide margin in touchdowns scored (23 vs 18 for 2nd place). They have a great offensive line for running who are always down field making blocks and wide receivers/tight ends who also block very well. If you looked closely at the highlights, on a bunch them you will notice offensive linemen sometimes 20 yards past the line of scrimmage making blocks. As good as AK41 is, the Saints had the "Two Headed Monster" with Mark Ingram (the #43 player in the top 100) also in the back field. Mark Ingram is a bigger guy who trades a little speed for power and durability. He can still juke, but is also able to run people over. The pair set multiple NFL records together. Unlike what happens allot of the time when you have multiple exceptional backs, they actually play better when they are both in the game.
The thing about guys like Kamara is how he can play the receiving role so well, while also filling his role of running back exceptionally well. It's his versatility that is so incredible. This type of guys is becoming more and more common in the NFL because of how hard it is to stop someone who is amazing at running and receiving.
This NFL-Film footage is great for slo-mo details (his calculated deflection/slipperiness is really awesome to see there), but you need actual, regular-speed game footage to appreciate his truly unholy acceleration and stops, his amazing vision, and with subtle positioning + threatening, and a grandmaster's precognition, his large-scale control and exploitation of the flux of activity around him (sometimes it seems like he has the whole tornado on a string). Remarkable player, just utterly plugged in to the physics and biomechanics of this game. It seems like the chills down one's spine are from witnessing something that shouldn't have been physically doable, but it's really the glimpse of some real, finite amount of pure genius.
Love it when you look at player's backgrounds and combine stats! It educates me about new players and reinforces my understanding of veterans. The highlights are the best but, I like to hear their histories. Screw anyone who doesn't like it and stop apologizing my friend!
Also, some Quarterbacks actually call the plays on the field. They do practice all the plays but the Quarterback will call the plays or get one from the coach in his helmet. They have speakers in the helmets. But, they also call what is called an audible. If the quarterback sees the defense in a set or the players are in a formation that the Quarterback recognizes to be a certain defensive set, he can change the play call to take advantage of the defense.
It's not really a fake, it's basically the Running Back either being on a route or a simple screen pass, but no Running Back, except Le'Veon Bell, is more effective than Kamara at that very simple move.
Keep on researching the players before you watch the video. The fact that your learning as you go about the game and these individual players makes your channel unique and why your videos are so awesome 👍🏻. If people don’t like it, guess what they can fast forward.
Drew is one of the best players in either individual effort, carrying a struggling team seemingly by himself, or master of the team play, stepping back and orchestrating a whole-team victory just as easily. A true leader, selfless & master of intelligent play. Guaranteed Hall of Fame QB, holds records & breaks records but always considers the TEAM his priority, not his stat line.
Love the vids! Not a reaction video, but something I think you will really enjoy watching and give some behind the scenes knowledge on the NFL is the show Hard Knocks. Every year it follows a team through training camp and the pre-season. It's starting in a couple weeks and following the Cleveland Browns this year.
Completion percentage doesnt rly prove accuracy. Brees makes a living off of short passes, where someone like rodgers often stretches the field. I think rodgers or marino may be the most accurate (imo) but to even be in the same sentence as them is a compliment.
It really is so much fun being a coach. I coach at the high school level so I don't get paid very much at all (probably less than 10 cents/hr for the amount of work I put in) but I couldn't see myself doing anything else. It's the best job ever
I actually played against Alvin in high school he was a really good running and comes from a great program we always knew he would find a way to make it into the NFL as long as he could control his behavior
A.J. Green is a seasoned veteran in the NFL known for big plays. He got his hand-eye coordination by juggling! You should react to him! #22 on the Top 100
A lot of what you said about coaches also applies to quarterbacks. There are teams (like the Patriots and Saints) where the quarterback is so good that the coaches give the quarterback a couple different plays and the quarterback will read the defense, put the offense in a specific play and run the play after. That’s why players like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are regarded as greats because they don’t just throw with the best of them but they manage the entire offense like a coach as well.
Can't sleep on one of the most impacted safety to be in the NFL. Charles Woodson played for 2 teams his whole career he got drafted by the Raiders and got traded or signed to the Packers. He also has a story that can inspire millions.
The pads don’t restrict movement like you think. I played football in high school and I never had an issue with the pads. It was the helmet I needed to get used to.
Josh Gordon 2013!!! He's a wr that's been suspended from the league for multiple drug violations. He absolutely dominated the league in 2013 and has admitted being high and drunk during every game he has played. Hes clean now and playing again. Amazing player and story!!
The episode of "A Football Life" called "The Forward Pass" would be great for you. It details the history of how American football implemented the forward pass and how it helped differentiate the game from rugby. Not sure if it's on RU-vid, but you should definitely watch it if you can find it.
Michael "CantGuardMike" Thomas is a great young WR for the Saints. BTW, Kamara was offensive rookie of the year. They also drafted the defensive rookie of the year in the 1st round, a shutdown CB, Marshon Lattimore.
React to the story of Eric Berry and how probably his best season came after he recovered from Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Truly inspiring stuff. Also, another commenter mentioned you should go to an American Football practice. I don’t know where in Australia you’re from, but if you live in one of the many decent sized cities there, I bet you there is at least one local American Football team that would absolutely love to get some solid online exposure. Heck, they might even wear some Major Key Physiques gear for you as well. It’s a win-win.
RecovERed GamER really you don't think he much of a highlight guy? Jumping over guys and shedding off tackles so easily, he's one of the most unique running backs I've ever seen.
I am a lifelong Tennesse fan and live just outside of Knoxville and the reason he slipped to the 3rd round was because he underutilized at UT ..maybe 10 or 12 touches a game( most games less)...it was apparent to most of us that he should get at Least 20-25...Butch! Please
Players will often skip events to hide their weaknesses to scouts or because they do not apply to the position And yeah, coaching is like playing a hyper-complex game of chess He has a 1.55 10-yard split which allows him to get to full speed in a single step--he's more quick than fast Him and the other NO RB, Mark Ingram, took their O-Line out after the season to thank them
And yes Jacob you are correct in that their are players who run slower 40's but have great "playing" speed. There are actually a bunch of guys who don't run that fast of 40's but when they get on the field are faster than people think. It happens quite often actually.
Great reactions! If you ever wanted to see what the players/coaches are thinking and saying during a game, you should watch some of the NFL's "Mic'd Up" videos. It really shows the emotions and the mindset that they are in during key points of the game. For example, Super Bowl LI's Mic'd Up showcases the players ability to remain cool-headed under stress.
In the last few years running backs have evolved to be consistently used in the passing game. Its alot of teams that either use multiple running backs or have a versatile star running back. Alot of these great shifty athletes that normally in the past would be trained as a reciever coaches have been realizing that they can use in the backfield and have a rotation of running backs or alternative set of plays for a running back other than traditional ground and pound running. In the past these guys would have just been made receivers at a young age not getting the most out of them and coaches ran creative plays to get shifty guys like Kamara space way less often. I dont know who I would exactly credit with that but certainly the college game and style has been being used and implemented in the pro game. The heavy play action and QB/RB option offenses are definitely prevalent in the college game going back at the very least a decade to the Tebow days.
