SOCCER PLAYER Reacts to BIGGEST NFL Tackles | FIRST TIME REACTION 

Follow the twitch boys! 💙 www.twitch.tv/adamcouser

Who’s gonna tell him that Americans consider the nfl soft compared to what it used to be

British: these hits are insane Americans : I remember when they were allowed to actually hit hard

Dude: "He's dead, he's got to be dead!" American: "No. He's rich!"

"Football is not a contact sport, it's a collision sport - dancing is a contact sport. " - Vince Lombardi, Hall of Fame NFL Coach

This is why us Americans roll our eyes when we see soccer players writhing on the field over nothing lol

I'm American and these are just normal to me, like if your the same way

I remember the Lyle Alzaddo rule: It's OK to rip off his helmet while you tackle him, but you're not allowed to beat him with it while he's on the ground.

American: *doesn’t care about the player who got floored* “THE BALLS LOOSE! RECOVER!!!”

My uncle from New Zeland (who is a big rugby fan) said that American football is for "girly men" because of the helmet and pads. I showed him a similar video to this and his jaw dropped....

Brit: How is he alive!?! American: Clean open field tackle, good technique!

There have been deaths, but very, very few. The issues are the concussions. That damage builds up over time. However, those who play are willing to take that risk.

Everyone else: "is that legal? Oh my god!!!" Americans: Ric Flair's "WOOOOOOOOO!!"

Brit: how is this legal? Americans: it was a clean hit!

Brit: "Are these legal" American: "Come on hit him harder"

As an American who grew up watching football I find people from other countries reactions to American football hits hilarious, I barely blink when I see hits like these on Sundays.

him:“are you allowed to do that?!?” me: that’s what you’re supposed to do

I’m 6’8’’ 290lb and played defensive end. The closest thing I can equate it to is being in a car wreck every play.

Brit: How is that legal. American: Good hit, son. Now do it again on the next play.

“HE GOT HIT AND JUST DANCED” me- **laughs in gamecock fan**

The Ed Reed hit gets me everytime. He gets facemasked, no flag is thrown, and then he runs down the field tracking the guy who faced masked him. Ed Reed, one of the greatest and toughest of all time.

Who should tell him there are hits like that in middle school

Adam: "These people are crazy" American: "My 8 year old has a game this weekend"

Nice to see people watching different sports

My favorite NFL story is when the San Francisco 49ers we’re playing the Chicago Bears in 1990(I think) Mike Singletary takes Joe Montana to the ground savagely. According to Mike, Joe got up, spit out blood and said “I’m glad you made it! I was beginning to wonder if you were even in the game!” Joe Montana is the goat. Btw, the only player to ever die on the field was in 1971, a wide receiver named Chuck Hughes for the Detroit Lions

When you realize that these aren’t even the hardest hits

1:16 If only he knew that it was the PUNTER (probably the weakest player on each team) who leveled that guy!!!

“Reacts to NFL” Watch’s mainly college football

“Nfl is crazy” *puts college football in thumbnail”

BRITS TO AMERICANS: this isn't futbol Me: you're right. THIS! IS! SPARTAAAAAA!

This why football is the number one sport in the United States. Gladiator mentality. We love it!

This is the first video I've seen of yours and I love when people dish on Americans for being soft in sports then watch stuff like this makes me chuckle. I love your reaction Thanks for making the video

I'll never get tired of seeing that Sean Taylor hit in the Pro Bowl. Taken from us way too soon. RIP

Soccer: stay down and pretend you’re hurt. Football: get up and don’t let them know you’re hurt

Scot: There has to be deaths. He’s got to be dead! Coach: you’re dead? Rub some dirt on it. Get back in there.

The average career length for NFL is 3 yrs. Only one guy died permanently back in the day, then Demar Hamlin recently died for 20 minutes on the field and has made a recovery 🙏

I played football in high school and university. (My last year was '03.) The reason why we wear pads is so that the force of the impacts will be distributed across a larger area, which will prevent focused damage to the body, but that doesn't prevent the body being jarred, nor does it prevent joints being dislocated, tendons/ligaments being snapped, or the brain bouncing around in the skull even though the helmet is protecting the head. Of course, there can still be hits that are hard enough to break a bone, but those are usually due to the body being contorted, trapped, or impinged, not from the impact itself.

So a few comments to address some questions you had: 1) most of those hits were legal, those some were also not (you saw penalties called on some), and some are no longer legal (helmet to helmet, spearing, targeting a defenseless player, etc) because they added rules to protect players (especially the quarterback). 2) injuries are not terribly uncommon, but mostly they are joint injuries and not directly related to hard hitting 3) deaths are extremely rare, but the repeated concussive hits are now linked to a degenerative brain disease that keeps showing up in former players. You have to watch football and learn the strategy to really appreciate it. Now you know it can be brutal, but the precision required is mind-boggling. The speed is mind-boggling. It really is an amazing combination of speed, strength, size, precision probably unmatched by any other sport. And to top all of that, really intricate strategy (mostly the coaches) and split second decision making (mostly the QB). Once you can understand the sport enough to appreciate, it's fascinating to watch, more than any other sport.

"these are psychopaths" no they are first round draft picks.

People think the padding and everything is just to protect the players, but what actually happens is when you learn to properly hit someone with your pads, you can unload so much more force into a hit, without worrying about hurting yourself. You basically turn into a 200+lbs missile in motion.

I enjoy watching these reaction videos. I played football for 12 years most of the time as a defensive lineman. Just wanted to let you know that we are not taught to run over someone. We are taught to run thru them at full speed.

You do know, American kids start this at the age of 6.

I love watching these videos with these soccer and rugby guy and they ask “is that allowed?!” Not only is that allowed, it’s encouraged

I love how anytime Adam sees anything American he always cries out "Thar must be deaths! He's dead! He has'ta be dead!" 😆

“How are there not deaths” Well, give them time. Brain damage catches up eventually.

Here’s a good laugh for you. There is an “unnecessary roughness” penalty in the NFL.

“Do they get away with that!?!” American: laughs in freedom

In highschool I ran an 11.03 100 meter dash and was 6’1” 220. I played 9 man football so less people and more open field, and hitting someone at full speed is unreal. I had 2 shoulder surgeries and will be missing a quad muscle until the day I die, but I’d do it all again just for the adrenaline rush

Nobody has ever permanently died in the NFL, at least not since I was born. Last year Damar Hamlin took a big hit to his chest and his heart stopped for like 10 minutes but they were able to revive him and get him to a hospital. One year later, he’s back on the field

Q: "how is that legal" A: "if he dies, he dies"

"Do you get away with that?" Not only do you get away with it, it's what you're *supposed* to do. 🙂

1:18 "... are you allowed to do this shit?" the delivery and your shocked expression made that hilarious. Well done man great content!

Hey there Adam it may come as a shock to you that football today is not as rough as it use to be. The rules have changed. In the old days these men were like gladiators. Those were the days. Please continue to review our rough and tumble American sports - football - bull riding.

The famed and beloved announcer John Madden always said, whenever a helmet popped off, to "check the helmet to make sure there wasn't a head in it."

Him wondering why they are still.alive Me wondering why the Offensive line allows these sacks

😂 your reactions to American Football is hysterical! This is expected of our players, so normal to us

at 2.09 "wheres he going".....made my day....

I don't have the heart to tell him, most of what he's watching is college football, 18-22 year olds

3:33, it’s like running into a wall. Yes but that wall is running faster than you are and straight at you.

These guys don't die usually but it does affect them long-term because of concussions. They go through a concussion protocol and if the player doesn't pass they are not allowed to play again until they are cleared. The NFL is not nearly as rough as it used to be either. The NFL has put new rules in in recent years that can lead to the ejection of players who target with the crown of the helmet and the receivers can't be hit up high if they are defenseless without a personal foul penalty. I'm probably not including all the details, but the NFL is changing.

It's the nature of the beast. Its not about the game but how you play it. It's brutal

Adam: "These are psychopaths." Me: *laughs in American*

“Do they at least get fined for that?!” In fact, their old contract gets thrown out and they get paid a new higher salary for that

Adam, We are so glad to have you on board...!!!! AND Adam now for the shocker. The NFL these days is Not as rough as it used to be.... Some of these clips are college plays.... It is a fun sport!!! Adam I forgive you man. It is a fun sport.... At 9:something renember that name -- Atwater is/ was a feared tackler. He was great at putting a hit on you!!!! As a matter of fact, Top 10 Most Feared Tacklers. Steve Atwater was considered one of the best hitters ever! Watch that video man.... Well now you Adam.. Thanks for watching.....

The comments here are straight fire! Great work guys!

"Its going to hit you like a car". Fun fact the *average* football tackle has the same force as being hit by a car at 30mph/50kph.

People think football players aren’t tough because they wear pads but the truth is if there were no pads, people would die 😂

9:10 - for what it's worth, there's only been one on-field death in NFL history, and it wasn't due to an on-field injury, he had a heart attack during a game. His name was Charles Frederick Hughes, and he died on October 24, 1971.

"Are you allowed to do that shit?!" Not only are you allowed, you're ENCOURAGED to do that shit lol

Who else would want him as a commentator for an NFL game

The death part usually comes later when they are retired and have CTE

Adam, I never played at this level. But youth and learning how to use your equipment to your advantage are key.. Plus you get-off on hits like this. You do not have to apologize. Just enjoy the madness. Players are so big and amazing fast now a days. Some lineman are over 300 pounds and can run. If they hit you it would be like being struck by a vehicle. Good Stuff.................. Love It........................

LOL!!! This is why Americans roll their eyes and mock soccer players when they fall to the ground clutching body parts after they get grazed by a butterfly. 😂😂😂

It's also hard for people to gauge how big these players are, and how fast they're moving, from the zoomed out field camera. Professional NFL players are just an absolute order of magnitude larger than normal humans, and they're moving at track athlete speeds over short distances. It really is like getting hit by a car.

Brit: How is that guy not dead? American: Hurry up and get lined up for the next play

What’s AWESOME!…..being there and hearing the crash of pads and the crowd of 75,000 yelling “AWE!”…..

Every sport has an international completion from Baseball, Soccer, Hockey, and Basketball. Imagine an NFL WorldCup that would be so cool.

Most of that was college ball. The one that you thought was “the worst” was high school...

Just so you’re aware I’d say about 30% or so of these clips are from the college game and not the NFL

I just came across this video, and the moment you said "Oh no! No! He can't be aliveeee!" I just HAD to subscribe to ya, bud! 🤣🤣

Just enjoyed watching your video. I am an American who started playing football at 8 years old. I also coached youth and middle-school age football for 12 years. I'm glad you appreciate the game. Two things to keep in mind, most of those hits are defensive tackles. Just as many tough collisions are made by offensive linemen blocking and running backs breaking tackles but, the tackles tend to make the highlight reel more often. The other thing that REALY MAKES FOOTBALL GREAT is not even the physical contact. Its the chess game that is played out by the coaches. Instead of moving plastic pieces on a board, live men fight on the field. (really strong, fast , men). The offense has to decide what play to run....how many yards do they need on this down ( you only get 4 downs or PLAYS to advance at least 10 yards down the field or the other teams gets the ball.) Should they pass or run?....what formation?...what hole to run to...who will get the ball to run? If pass...what routes will the receivers run? who will they pass to? Then they have to anticipate what the defense will do. Will they load up the box anticipating run? will they blitz to pressure a pass? if so which players will blitz? will they play man coverage or zone coverage? The crazy thing is they only have 30 seconds after a play to make these decisions. Believe me, I have coached, it is CRAZY to rack your brain thinking of all that and calling a play in 30 seconds. THEN, even when both sides have their plays called and line up, they look at each other's alignments, and make last second changes to the play with signals and calls. ALL of this chess gaming is going on in 30 seconds between plays. If you go more than 30 seconds you are penalized. Many people outside of America think football is boring because the action is intermittent unlike the constant action of rugby or soccer. But if you understand the intense chess game being played on a 30 second clock between plays you see the game differently. This is also where the fan really gets involved. Everyone thinks they know the best play or type of play their team should run next. "I would go deep" or "they should run outside next, the defense is weak on the outside". Watching and following the strategy of your team is just as much fun as watching the physical play. Its a game of skill and athleticism for runners and receivers. It is a game of leverage and displacement for the linemen. Its a game of controlled aggression on offence and reckless abandon on defense. It's a game of field position, marching your team down field, pushing the defense back... yard by yard like a battle in a war. The defense is trying to stop that advance and get their team back on offence. It is one of the greatest games in the world! SO...ENJOY THIS GREAT GAME! And thank you for taking the time to learn about it. Cheers!

Lots of concussions even though they've tried to make rules to avoid them. Lots of other injuries, but no on-field deaths in the recent past. LOL

The biggest part is once you get hit you still have to hold on to the ball or it's a fumble and the other team can recover the ball.

last death during an NFL game was Chuck Hughes of the Detroit Lions in 1971 due to a heart condition. he is in fact the only NFL player to die on the field. for college teams the last death was in 2011 due to multiple sustained blows. before that it was 2010 i believe and that was a training accident

the only sport where you'd hear an entire crowd chant "Break the Quarterback's back!"

Him: “Helmet to the cheat, helmet to the chest, how is he alive?” Me: Umm that was high school football and I’ve taken worse hits than that. Lmao

Rugby is a contact sport, football is a collision sport. Great video bud.

“He can’t be alive!! How’s he not dead!” Lololol. He’s still alive, and still playing. Emmanuel Sanders-Saints now. Love this reaction video and welcome to American Football

It’s great being at the games 80 thousand plus drunk fans and you can still hear the hits above the noise

The hits they take are easily compared to a car crash, you will hear the hits even if you're far away.

Really need to watch the games from the 60's through the 80's.

That’s my old school at 5:20. Lol I played at BYU. Yes there are deaths. But mostly lateron in life after the accumulation of concussions and injuries unfortunately many end up taking their own lives due to CTE. The movie concussion staring Will Smith shines an ugly light on the truth about it. I have began showing early signs of CTE and am in constant battle with it. The hard part is not depending on medication when it gets bad. But I’m using CBD and it works miracles. My Dad, Uncle brother and cousins played in the NFL and miraculously none of them are showing signs of it. My career was cut short in college due to multiple knee reconstructions from torn ligaments. I’m Tongan so I was raised playing both rugby and football. Rugby was harder as far as conditioning but footballs physical and mental demands on the body both short and long term are without doubt a lot higher. Great video!! Thanks for sharing! Your Tongan friend from Utah!! 🤙🏾

I hate to tell you, that a lot of these hits are very unimpressive. Most were basic tackles. Its when the guy flips and ragdolls in the air that we usually go "ohhh".

Me watching one of these plays: "that was a pretty normal tackle." Him: " are they allowed to do that?"

Great reaction!!

Those hits are the the reason NFL is King in America

Adam: He can't be alive, he's dead Player: *plays the very next play*

No deaths; just brain damage & joint issues after they leave football.

Football is a collision sport. Gotta love it

Adam, You may want to look up some of the old timers and how it use to be played - Dick Butkus a linebacker, Lawrence Taylor another linebacker, and Joe Greene a defensive lineman. These men played football back when it was FOOTBALL. I remember a coach back in the 1970's saying to us go out there and knock them in to the next world, it not against the law on the football field. In other words the sport was a bit rougher in days gone by. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
