Thank you so much for this. Started trying to understand football so I can watch with my boyfriend and it makes more sense now lol.

Years ago, a guy ahead of me in line at the store explained the basics of football to me in 5 minutes. He made it so simply and I've always wished there was someone who could teach me the rest, in that same simplistic fashion... I found you! Thank you!❤

I’ve been trying to learn football for years and someone finally made it make sense. Thank you

I’m in high school and love being on the football team. I had to show this video to my mom because she never has a clue what I’m doing all over the field, lol. Great video and clear explanation, bro! I love playing football in HS not just because of the sport, but I’ve been making the most awesome friends too. My teammates treat me like one of their brothers, both on and off the field. Looking forward to summer camp! 🏈

As an argentinian guy who has never seen a football match, this explanation was magnific, thanks sr.

Watching this because i’m about to start my first ever season of football

Having lived in Southern Africa all my life I have played a little game called Rugby - My Bud moved to the US a few years ago and his son is now playing in the NFL... Trying to understand the game I watched this and I must thank you for your explanation... To be honest, I still prefer a good game of rugby but I will be watching the NFL with interest....

You explained 1st thru 4th down so concisely.. I've been so confused. Thanks, excellent video.

I’m in middle school and I’m trying to play for my school this helped a lot😊

This is so helpful! I just started watching football during this year’s super bowl(2022) cause of the half time show lol my husband tried to explain the rules while the games were playing so it was confusing and chaotic, i came here to try and fully understand the rules, you did a great job explaining! Thank you!

Thanks mate from Australia..I’m trying to lean the rules because I love the game

Luh calm fit Nun to extravegant

Thanks so much. I’m an Australian and have watched American Football (we also call it Gridiron) and tried to understand the rules with no success. This has made it very clear.

So happy to see a lot of people from different countries learn about our awesome sport!! US ❤❤🌍🌍🌎🌎🌏🌏

I’m brand new at operating an ultra modern computerized scoreboard for high school football. Your videos are helping me in knowing exactly what is happening down on the field. I just want to know every exact detail to ensure I start and stop the clock accordingly as well as all the yardages, downs, etc. Great info Thanks!

Great explanation, thank you!

I appreciate this. I worked videography last year for high school basketball games for a small market news station, which was easy. When it came to football season, it has been a lot harder for me to get good highlights. This definitely makes more sense now. Thank you!

Great explanation ! Thanks

Good job explaining it.

Very helpful thank you very much! I’m going to my first football game in a few weeks so this video will really help me out!

Thanks, Went to see a Raiders game a couple of years ago, didn’t know the rules as I’m from UK heading back to Vegas to see them again in a preseason game and this will really enhance the experience!!

You are so helpful Omg! Thanks!

Good stuff!

Ive been trying to understand for years, thank you !

I'm photographing my first football game today, but realized I kind of need some context to understand what's going on. Thanks for the quick and efficient guide :)

Great Information, and explained very well!!! Keep the Videos coming Coach!!!

This helped tremendously, the only thing I'm still stumped on is the role of each position and what they do such as Quarterback, Wide Receiver, etc...

Very well explained. Now I can attend a 2024 super bowl function in Australia, and understand what is going on. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

Thank you!!! I've never understood football and I 'm trying to learn.

So clear, thank you!

so happy I found you! as a mom of 3 young boys, I'm trying my best to understand all of the sports they're interested in. everything makes so much more sense now 😄 I've watched football almost my whole life with literally no idea what's going on lmao

Excellent explanation!!!! Mom here just started really watching football games this season as our home team has a solid chance at the SB and i enjoy cheering them on with my son!!!! Gooooo Ravens! Thanks for breaking down the game!

Thank you. You explained it so clearly. It cleared up a few things for me.

Thank you 🙏

Awesome video!!!

Thanks!!

This is really helpful I’ve wanted to play football for a while this helps a lot

I’m trying to learn about football for my boyfriend. It’s something he’s very passionate about and I know he’d appreciate being able to talk shop w/ me once I learn more. Thanks for the video! 💛

Wow. Thank you for this video!! My entire family watches football and it’s always such a big deal to them and normally it’s boring because for the past 3 years I’ve never understood it. Now I understand the gist of football and will definitely be excited for next game because now it all makes sense 😄

Awesome video. I am from a rugby country and just trying to learn and understand NFL (for sports betting reasons) and this helped big time in my journey.

Thanks

Thank you very much.👍

Glad I found this video because I am starting football for the first time in my life.

Just joined the highschool football team , don't know that much. This helped !

Thank you this is good for me

Best explanation ever! Thanks!

very well explained ,thanks

Great video! Thanks so much! Gained a new follower!

Great explanation!

Thank you for sharing this video! You did a great job explaining it!! Just what I was looking for

W explanation bro u good at ts homie 💯❤

You did a wonderful job of explaining the game. I just want to add in somethings . Turnover on downs if the team doesn't get a first down on 4th down and not punt it. Safety or touchback seen that in 1991 but Granby lose to Hampton 20-8 . Didn't mention what plays are which is to trick or deceive opponents in order to score . Thanks you .

Yes king I will listen 2 u

Thanks I just started football so thanks!

This video is really helpful! I just started a youth football season, and I didn't know anything about football. Now that I watched this video, I'm more confident and know the rules!

Thankyou . This is the first time this has been explained understandably thank you👍

Yards are roughly a metre for those curious about a metric version

Very clear and very well explained! Am in LA and need to learn fast! Tx man

Finally, a great explanation easy to understand. Thank you!

Wow! The why you broke down the basics of football made this so much easier to learn and understand. I just recently started getting into football and dont know what team to root for yet. I dont want to hop on bandwagon for just any teams. lol any recommendations on what team i shoudl choose ?

Thanks man. I now have a basic understanding of American football.

I'm starting football this year, and this video I gunna be so helpful to me when I actually play

Thank you for making it so easy to understand I'm new to watching American football and had my head stuck in books trying to get to grips with the rules and was ready for chucking it!!!

Very good video - I was confused about the downs part while watching a college game the other day, and your explanation helped!

A couple months ago I went to a NFL game and had no idea what was happening. About a month later I watched a NFL game on TV didn't know what was happening. Then in less than a month after that game I watched more games and somehow I used my brain without watching videos and taught myself the rules. I'm so addicted to football now, know all the rules so well. It really made it entertaining. I'm just shocked how I somehow understood the rules from a game or 2

Amazing explanation man! 💪🏼

So the kick off and the kick returns are positions and they do not play offensive or defense in the game?

Really well described, Aussie here tryna understand, most vids are too brief, thank you x Also that ref at 5:25 works out

What do you recommend me cuz I am going to do football for my senior year and it’s going to be my first year doing football

Very helpful vid!

Thank you so much i’m going to be playing 8th grade football next year

Thanx very much.

Easy explanation! 😅

I want to play football and thus helped me! Plus that picture on the end of coin toss oakridge eagles is my school. But sadly we failed the tiebreaker for vikings. And I told My friends that are in football and there like we really need u.

thank youuuu I didn't know anything about the 1st down and all that till now

Underrated. This video deserves more views. Great video!

Beautifully explained.

what are players position and also how many players there are in the team?

Which yardage line is the ball kicked from to start the game? Is it from the 50yard line in center field or from the 40yard line in the kicking teams zone?

This helped me a little bit, I’m trying to start football, but my stamina sucks, so I have 10 months to improve, and also I have bad memory so hopefully I remember this😅

hey. very great information , i want to start playing this game but the only way is idk where to start as beginner , i live in phx az so do you know how can i start ? thanks

As a referee in the NFL, this video has helped me do my job better

Thank you . I was not raised on Football so I find it a bit boring. I just need to understand the sport for my spouse’s sake. Thanks again. I will check out your other videos!

Thanks. Going to a high school football game with a girl tonight and i didn’t know anything about football

Hey could you make a video on how to play flag football

Thanks I am just starting foot ball so thank you very much

I’m a 6 grader and I want to play football in 7th grade because football sounds a cool sport for me

I am kind of short but average for my age. I am not super skinny but not over weight. I want to be receiver but can’t run super fast. What position would be best for me

gracias for the explanation bro.

Ty i'm gonna try out for the 8th grade football team next year, and this was super helpful

I’m watching this to bond with my great grandpa and play for my school team

you are awesome! thanks a lot!

Thank you for making this!! I’m the drum major for my highschool marching band and idk how football works so my band director told me to study

I’m embarrassed that I’m here😂. Very helpful. Thank you!

This is a good primer on the rules of American football but the only way to really understand them is to simply watch games.

Hey i’m a cornerback been playing for about 3 weeks. Great video i appreciate it. Few questions i did have was: When i make an interception, can i punt, throw and run? Can i take a knee? If so what would that do. If i’m flying over the corner of the oppositions end goal is it only the ball that has to go across the line if i’m in control? Do i have to have both feet in the end goal no matter what? When am i allowed to floor the wide recievers? Can it be as they’re attempting to grab the ball? After contact with the ball? If we make it 10 yards do we get 4 more chances? or do we have 4 chances to score? When someone tries to tackle me, what constitutes me getting officially tackled? Can i get back up if they push me over? When we’re defending and i intercept a ball in the end zone, what are my options? I’ve seen videos of players avoiding standing on their own field goal and throwing the ball onto the 100 yard zone. Why? Is that ball still live? What options do both teams have and what constitutes a ‘dead’ ball. Sorry for the all the questions ik it’s a lot don’t feel the need to answer all of them i’d appreciate anything. Would talking shit to the opposing team ever result in a penalty for us? Thanks

Thank you you really helped me understand football now thank you so much

Does the team have to get a certain amount of points to win or whoever has more points at the end of the 60 minutes win? Thanks for sharing!!

I wanna play football I watched this video it’s a lot to take in I don’t know if I can do it
