Before every play in football, a quarterback shouts a random combination of colours and numbers.
Signal calling, as it’s known, is so old that most modern players probably don’t know why they do it.
So, here’s why.

“GET F*CKING SET!”
-Matt Ryan
Joe Devine is so much more welcome as the voice over
The data supports this
😂 I agree
Agreed
Definitely held up by the underlying numbers.
The American voice at the end is so grating
My favorite so far is Brock Purdy's, "No! Stay there, stay there!"
It's a call that scores a touchdown every time.
The whiplash from the closing mans voice
I’m American and I have to admit it was like a jumpscare
😂😂😂
Jesus loves u Roman’s 10:9 Roman’s 5:9 turn to Jesus right now,put your faith and trust in Jesus and repent of your sins

At some point I was waiting to be informed on how a Reumdeuter fits into all of this.
Bro😂
Grant Delpit, if anyone 🤣
It just does, okay.
man imagine thomas muller playing americanfootball
@@Dhruv-uc3xjmuller would be the kinda player to somehow always be in the right place at the right time, he would catch a tipped pass every game and run it into the endzone jumping like a horse 😂
Not sure if it’s a spoiler for a future video, but the huddle was invented at Gallaudet College, a school for the deaf. They huddled so they could obscure the ASL signs used to communicate the plays from the defense.
Dak Prescott:" here we gooooo"
😂Ye, he's adding his own methods
Peyton Manning: “OMAHA!” 😄
The sound you hear before Dak chucks the ball straight into a defender’s sternum for his eighteenth interception of the game.
This system gets more complex every year as players and coaches move to different clubs. If a guy was your teammate last year but is now your opponent, you will have to come up with a new code so he doesn’t know what you’re calling. Updating your codes is all the more important if a coach moves and you have an entire team knowing another team’s system and signals, unless they change them.
There’s a hilarious video of Peyton Manning yelling out increasingly ridiculous phrases, punctuated by talking heads of himself and his teammates explain how he calls dummy signals dummy signals to further encrypt legitimate audibles
I’m a bit of a Blue 42 man myself.
Green 18 gang
Nice!! Now back to the formula, Noman!!!!!
@@Cold_LogicGreen 18!!!
Was the first call that came to mind.
Blue 80 man
As a American who loves 🏈 this is very informative shout out to Tifo Sports
Color + number or other phrases/words like "Omaha" or "here we go" in the modern game are not signal calling but a cadences at least if you can here it
Good point. Play calling would be more like “Double Zip Can Shuffle Tom and Jerry 22 Pisa”
Omaha was an audible.
@@bofa83 it wasn’t just used as an audible
Tifo Sports, Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!
You bought your subscribers hey
Howie long's "American football for dummies" is a perfect book to explain everything abt it.
Joe Montana had one of the most famous ones in the Super Bowl. Black 59 Razor.
Yeah I used to always use that in backyard football 🤣
blue 80
YES
He's just describing his wife and rating her on a scale from 0-1000.
hearing the Tifo guy say "football" but then talk about quarterbacks is so jarring lol
Womp womp
Quarterbacks play football
Thanks for this interesting video.👍
As an American who grew up on our football but learned about yours from Tifo over the last decade…it’s jarring to see this content but very very well done as always
Don't be so sure that Mahomes calling White doesn't mean anything. You can find that Bill Walsh, HC of the 49ers, was still using color for live audible calls in the 80s in his playbooks that you can find PDF copies of online. Mike Holmgren was his offensive coordinator and also used that system with the Packers and Seahawks in his time as a HC. Andy Reid was the OC for Mike Holmgen in Green Bay, and you can find a 2002 Eagles playbook where Andy still used live color audibles 22 years ago. So, maybe Mahomes doesn't... but don't be too sure about that, as his HC at least has used it as a HC.
Colors can be and still are used today. If a team has a playbook with pages of plays they may call page 1 blue, page 2 red, and so on. The pages have several plays on them so a qb can just say "blue 10" for example and he offense knows exactly what it is quickly.
we need a
Black 65!
thank uuu, the game is so complicated from an outsider's perspective
It depends on how long you have been following the game.
I started to follow the game when I was 13, coming on for 14. I am now 42 coming on for
43.
I am Scottish & got in to
the game after my
aunty got me a computer game. Could
Joe Montana football she likey through it was what we all football in
Europe, not American football, I resume.
But at first, I was absolutely clueless to
I bought a book from
W.H. Smiths newsagents
& started buying
First Down magazine
the presenter for
Sky Sports Coverage now was the editor of the magazine.
a few years later
The World League of American football started up for a second time, this time with a Scottish team
Scottish claymores it's a type of broad sword used in medieval Scotland.
I won a competition to
to to that seasons
Super Bowl in Amazon.
I tuse to suport
Pittsburgh Steelers.
they were the underdogs
in that Super Bowl agent
a star studed
Dallas Cowboys roster or squad as we say in
Europe.
Because it was further away for Steelers fans to travel to, they arrived at the same time we did
so we got to meet plenty of them in the bars & out & about The Cowboys fans. sdd not arrive till the Saturday for the most part.
Been following
The N.F.L
& Pittsburgh Steelers ever since it's my favourite sport.
I was on my way back from Ayr a few summers ago to Glasgow, a youing got on couple go on at
Johnstone, where I used to stay, she noticed my
Steelers cap asked if I was a Steelers fan I sead yes she sead her Dad had been a fan since the 90's & used to go to Glasgow
daily back in the 80's to get a copy of
The U.S.A. Today newspaper the only
National paper they have
In the U.S. just to find
out what was happening
N.F.L. wise.
It's a great game & not that complex at all when you get down to the nuts & bolts of the game.
Tactics wise, in terms of marking, it's very similar to football as we know it in Europe with man to man & zonel marking play wise it's more similar to
Rugby League just with
forward passes not backwoods passes.
Keep Safe..
Cracking video.
I know when I played in high school, we kept it simple. Red for right and black for left.
I never have heard of a play having a number. The basic plays we all learned as kids were the runner and the hole. Thus, 24 was the "2" back through the "4" hole. Maybe this would be play 24, but you get more complex with "F37 24 delay which was a fake pitch to the "3" back going around left end and then the "2" back through the "4" hole. The delay told the "2" back to delay a step until the QB could hand him the ball. This is just the basic system. listen to a pro call and they have all sorts of alignments, movements and routes all in one play.
The look on the Missouri players faces at that game must have been gold.😅
So they really used to play how we did as kids in the back yard? No plays just run whatever and I’ll throw it to someone
It would be nice if QBs called their own plays again.
Coaches are to too much of a control freak to allow that to happen again😄
Shame they've filled the league with a bunch of braindead QBs who only know how to run.
The calls I heard most often was Red 18 and Blue 28.
Green 18 HUT!
My favorites are Pink 69 and Green 420.
Feels so absurd to me that this happened in the early 1880s. I thought "these college players' fathers had fought the Civil War less than 20 years prior". The timeline is wild.
No he yells blue 80, or Tyler, Tyler for a change up. Or “Do it Kelce”, as Buffalo knows!
"Heere we gooooo"
i thought they still stood for snap count signals or am i cooked?
Why do quarterbacks shout [COLOR] + [NUMBER]?
Me: Why anything, right?
Why did I whip it out🤣
change the text in the thumbnail to blue 42
As I expected, they don’t mean anything anymore. Unless it’s Payton Manning, who never used color+number anyway. 😂
Hearing a British man saying “football” while talking about quarterbacks and audibles instead of strikers and set pieces is so jarring. I’ve just sort of mentally accepted that football+American accent=Gridiron and football+British accent=soccer
Great content!! More of the same please👏
YEAH, HERE WE GOOOO!
Just to go one and done again
Tom Brady: Rita! Rita!
Gronk, stand up😂
BLUE 42!!!
OHMAHA!!!
“Stand up, Gronk.”
Common play: Blue 90
5:43 why is patrick mahomes so dark in this video?
American Football is a real life Turn Based Video Game... With more concussion 😅
Didn’t know you did American football
RED 40!!!
cool
Hearing tifo say football and then talk about quarterbacks feels weird
Its just a lot easier bc you obviously know which one hes talking about here. Same reason why he just calls it football, not association football in his videos
when americans think rugby is chaotic and unstructured
Tifo football, but football...
nobody knows
OMAHA!!!
I'm american but I think it would be great if Tifo did some Rugby content
omaha!!!!
This is the comment I came here for
“Gronk, stand up.”
American football
OMAHA! OMAHA!
Go birds ⛳
White 80 set hut!
Blue 80 set hut!
Go go hut hut!
Brown 9!! Brown 9!!
BLUE 42 SHADUR SHADUR🗣️🗣️💪💪
Someone needs to tell Dak to stop yelling "here we go"
Yeah, that's what Americans need, a Brit explaining American football 🤣🤣
Omaha....
I just feel like I can't trust this accent to teach me about American football🤷♂
Actually .. My late wife, who used to be an Off Coordinator for a Middle school team used to make fun of how simple Mahomes audibles were. She was a Raider fan and noticed on one play that he called "Yellow, Yellow" as his audible. She said right before the snap...."It's a pass to either Tyreek Hill or Kelsey." sure enough, it went to the Taylor Swift/Pfizer boytoy. She explained, "He only calls then either by the color of their gloves (They were the only ones wearing yellow gloves then) or their shoes. My MS QB's has more elaborate audibles than he does."
So this is what The athletic did to the tifo channel, the core channel tifo football doesn't have illustrations and instead they tried to push this nonsense instead, fking disgrace of a company
Jesus loves all of you
Stop preaching about the lord and saviour, the handegg
Womp womp one of the most beautiful things about sport is the great diversity of it. Please respect all sports
Its clear you dont watch football lol
Jesus loves u Roman’s 10:9 Roman’s 5:9 turn to Jesus right now,put your faith and trust in Jesus and repent of your sins
Tifo used to be cringe, but this is just flat out embarrassing
What if they shout the colour and the number because they identify as a colour number shouter.
I thought this was :Tifo Sports" and not "Tifo, Sports that only Americans care about"
wahhh
Rugby it's like American Football, but for men...
No, it's just Rugby League with sensibility add.
You're a prime example of how people miss understanding a lot about the game.
Says the guy that doesn’t understand the game
Most boring sport ever!!
Just admit you dont have the ability to do mental arithmetic
Clearly the rules are too complicated for you to comprehend or you wouldn't say that.
You messed up with soccer, lad
@@loganleroy8622 This is just my BS opinion....I've found that baseball and football you really have to think about and understand to enjoy watching. Hockey, basketball, soccer...are much easier sports to watch not knowing the rules.
Cricket I've never really understood. I imagine me watching cricket is a lot like someone that doesn't know baseball trying to watch a game. Very boring. No clue what's happening. Same with American football. Soccer though - it's quite obvious what's happening. Put the ball in the net. Don't need to know the rules to understand.
OMAHA!!!!
