For perspective, when watching these videos you need to keep in mind that the AVERAGE NFL player is 6'2, 250lb, with an average 40 yard dash of around 4.5 seconds. The amount of force involved in these plays is equivalent to a medium-sized car accident.
As someone who has both been in a bad car accident AND taken a hit from a player (he didn't mean it, he just went MASSIVELY out of bounds while I was walking behind the line.) I think I would rather the car if I had to pick again. I'm a tall gal, but full hit from a running refrigerator took me out and down hard. Although I think at the time he was more upset than I was, came round to him sobbing and asking if I was dead. When I woke up the next day (I had gotten home and gone to bed, he didn't knock me out for a full day) and I was a completely different color pretty much over my most of my body, front and back. Took me almost a week to be able to really walk without wanting to die. Granted, the car didn't send me flowers, bring me meals and apologize for about a month. Still? Car better. No clue how those boys manage it, even IN pads and helmets. I couldn't BREATHE normal for a month from the crunch my ribs took. Cracked ribs SUCK. These boys aren't human.
so in a lot of these videos I have heard comments about players getting hit without the ball so I just want to clarify. The objective of the offensive players ( team with possession of the ball) is to protect the player with the ball from the defending players. The offensive players cannot grab and hold the defensive players so they have to either stay in front of them or knock them to the ground. I hope this makes sense for anyone who doesn't know how football/American football works.
From a very young age, as an American boy, you start playing football. And you remember every hit you've ever laid on someone. And years later, you both sit having a beer and remembering the good old day's. Those are thing's we lived for as kid's in school.
What I don't think you understand is that you can block defenders from attacking your team's ball carrier. That was what happened when you said "You can just go after anybody". They're not going after anybody, they are protecting the runner.
Football is a way of life for a lot of Americans. We have Jr. High School football on Thursdays, High School football on Fridays (Friday Night Lights), we have college football on Saturdays and on Sundays the pros play! Only about 7 more weeks and we'll get this party started!
Your reaction at 8:03 made me laugh; the combination of the music and your "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" made it funnier than usual. A lot of non-Americans have that reaction when they see that part of the video.
We breed warriors and we take our football VERY seriously, at every level, from Pee-Wee League to Pro. Some of our best is actually COLLEGE football. BOOM!!!
The grainy footage at 8:47 caused the guy that got hit to have is jaw wired shut for 2 months because his jaw was broken in 2 places. The guy that hit him was 6 foot 3 and 250 lbs or 113 kg.
What most don’t realize is that rugby is a contact sport while American football is is a collision sport because these guys are essentially getting into high speed car accidents multiple times a day! It’s far more severe than any rugby player will ever experience!
Back in the day most of this was legal. They changed alot of rules. Due to long term brain damage these guys suffered. Some of the worst hits came from my Bears. During the 90's early 2000's they had a habbit of hitting high and low. They even retired a QB. Hit him so hard he woke up after the game and retired.
The surprising thing is NOT that there were some fatalities due to horrific hits like these, but that there were so few - after you see these. But there were any number of long term injuries that crippled some of these guys. Pretty much every single NFL player that stayed in for 5 seasons or more has played with broken or cracked bones (fingers most often) . Not "played and got injured", but "played WHILE injured " Pretty much every NFL player of 10 years or more - has had serious mobility issues, or brain injury or simular issues. More than one has been described by doctors as having the injuries associated with multiple car accidents without seatbelts.
@@mikesharkey2010 For all the hate Tony Romo gets, he stayed in the game in overtime vs SF after cracking a rib that then punctured his lung. And he won. He'll forever have my respect for that.
You say that it is odd that the guy in the video was allowed to tackle the guy that was going after the ball carrier. I say it's odd that you would play in a way where all you can do is watch and say "Oh well, I guess our guy is gonna get tackled, nothing I can do to stop it"
Most of these plays today are illegal because of severe concussions. You can’t hit that hard anymore in NFL or college football. But during those days of those hard hits the team would look for the player that hit you teammate and they would pay you back either in the game or the next time you played that same team. So you were a marked man until they got their revenge on the field. Great reaction.
Technically, you can absolutely still hit this hard. But many of these plays are now illegal for other rules changes (spearing, targeting, defenseless player, etc). Any hit which took a helmet off is probably illegal now. Any blind-side hit by a blocker above the arm-pits is probably illegal now. Some of the hits in the video were illegal then, and got flagged. But many of those hits were and still are legal, including all of the body slams.
I've watched reactions to this video so many times. I've lived in both England and the US. Played both types of Football. Brits ALWAYS go nuts over the body slams into the ground. I have to say that getting slammed into the ground does WAY less damage than taking a full sprint tackle. Just trust me on this.
We had a guy like that on our middle-school football team. 6'4" 300 lbs., he was our center. Our nose tackle was 6'3" 240 lbs., our fullback was 6' 200 lbs., and one of our WRs was 6'1" 180 lbs. We dominated our regular season, but had to face a bigger city team in the post-season who were pretty much all big guys. I was like 5'6 and 140 lbs., and so were most of my teamates. We got trounced, lol.
Nah bro, that was Lawrence Taylor that yanked guys around by their collar. You would not fight him. I dont care how tough you think you are he was a literal monster of a human.
We saw at least 1 person get a concussion in every HCTB hit. If they went back to leather caps we’d see a lot more old men with scalp scars, and a lot less young men with dementia
It makes it better because the play before that the ref made a bad call saying that Michigan had the the first down and it was clearly short so gamecocks should've had the ball anyway but Clowney said it's cool and shore nogh the next play he boomed bro and they got the ball back. Legendary
I played football for 13 years including two semesters in college. The highlight hit videos are cool and all, but they really don’t give you a real sense of just how violent these collisions are. To really understand you have to watch it in person and be at ground level, these videos are all filmed from a stadium and the angle of it takes away from how hard the hits are. Also you’re not hearing the hits, in person it’s a loud cracking noise, like smacking together two pieces of treated lumber.
The one you flipped out over. In the black uniform where the guy was big running with the ball………..he was a 13 yr old boy at that time. This was jr varsity.
I’ve heard many people say that they could play football. Watching it live on television makes it look much slower than it really is probably because the cameras are so far away. Go to a high school game and watch it much closer up and you get a better idea of the speed. Remember, high school is mostly 15-17 year olds. The NFL are adults much faster than teenagers. I don’t think a average person would have a chance against a 16 year old so a pro would just be embarrassing.
Most people also don't realize that every level you go up is a nearly exponential leap. College player are unbelievably better than high school players, and pros are unbelievably better than college. Watch for the worst players in the game in a pro game of any sport. Now remember, that guy was probably an all-American in college in order to get drafted and make it past cuts in the pros.
You can tackle pretty much any player to keep them from interfering with your ball carrier. There are a few exceptions, of course, but generally anyone is fair game.
When my son was in third grade (8 years old) they played a team of other 8-9 year olds with a boy who was a good foot taller than our biggest player and he weighed almost 200 pounds. They carried a laminated copy of his birth certificate to prove he was a legal player. Usually when they got a running play down to mostly stopped the referee would blow the whistle and end the play before anyone could get hurt. This huge kid wasn’t real fast and he couldn’t think quick enough to chase down a play that didn’t come right to him but if they gave him the ball and a little clear space he was very hard to stop. We had a play towards the end of the game where they gave him the ball and turned him loose. After about 8 yards we had almost every player hanging off of him but the referee didn’t blow the play dead. That kid carried ten of our players almost twenty yards and then we couldn’t tackle him he tripped over one of our players. Fast forward nine years the kid is playing high school football. He’s still not super fast but fast enough and he understands the game a lot better. He was wearing size 21 wide cleats and was still very hard to stop. This is the kind of people that will run twenty yards down the field and run you down and if you try to hold back you will get most of the hit and probably hurt.
People who are unfamiliar with the game cringe. Those who have played, understand exactly how satisfying it is to lay the lumber to an opposing player. Imagine a well struck golf shot, or a perfect, clean scissor volley on the football pitch. Now imagine the intensity ratcheting up because it's man on man, rather than man on inanimate object. It is beautiful in a primal, vulgar, predator/prey sort of sense.
Its a leagle hit man. Gotta understand in the South football is not just a sport its a way of life here. ❤❤❤❤ I love My Football ya'll. Roll Tide. ❤❤❤❤
The second hit is interesting because he did get a flag for hitting a defenseless player but the call is incorrect. His hit was center mass and in the front. Most importantly the defender was next to the ball carrier therefore it's a clean block just brutal.
A lot of these hits are illegal now, but defenses pride themselves on hits like this. It’s always fun watching Brits, and rugby players especially, watch this video. They quickly understand why football requires so much protective gear. Now imagine back in the day when they were wearing leather helmets…
Many of these were legal, at the time. No horsecollar tackles whereyou tackle (grab by the back of the pads around the neck) No leading with the helmet No hitting a defensless player (ie wr in the air, kicke/punter on their follow through motion) No grabbing the face mask No body slams No blindside blocks Those were done away with because of the injuries they caused The current tackle under review is the "hip drop" Or where the defender tackles from the back wraps his arms around the offensive player and becomes dead weight while dropping to the ground. Causing the defensive player's body to land on the offensive player's legs. Forcing the runners knee to bend inward, and their foot is relatively pointing outwards. Causing a lot of leg injuries. However, you can put your shoulder down and drive through someone with every bit of force you can muster and you can just blast someone with a shoulder pad. For perspective: Just keep in mind the AVERAGE NFL player height and weight is 6'2 245 lbs (188 cm and 112 kg) and the AVERAGE 40 yard dash time is 4.48 seconds, so the newtons of force applied by a single average player is 1740.48N experiencing nearly the same G force astronauts experience during a space shuttle flight per large 2 player collisions
Grabbing a facemask is highly illegal. It would lead to a loss of down including to the one used, 15 yds, plus fine for the player over $10k, and suspension from the game plus any other games after a review board. This is because the player could suffer major injuries that could lead to permanent disability.
Not only are these guys huge and fast, but they can be quite nimble too. You should react to "Best Jukes In Football History" by Highlight Factory. Fair warning though, some of them are straight up disrespectful.
A couple fun facts for ya. 1: The clip where the guy gets dragged backwards by the face... Yea, they made that illegal to do. It's too dangerous. 2: The house running down the field (at least that's how big he is). His job is simple. Take ball, run 10 yards in the right direction. That is all. 3: You think sticking your arm out in front of you is a good thing. It's actually called a 'stiffarm', and it's illegal. In fact, you'd probably be surprised how many things they CAN'T do. Also, now that you've seen some solid hits, I get to tell you that the helmet technology is constantly getting better, leading to fewer and fewer long term brain injuries.
The part about American football a lot of first time viewers don’t get is that all of these guys are monsters. They’re huge. Check out pics of nfl guys standing next to average people.
They’re not allowed to just attack anyone: they’re actually stopping the blockers from running along side the ball. So when they do tackle the person with the ball, they don’t have to worry about anyone else taking it.
Well, anyone one can be hit by anyone else on the field, with a couple of exceptions. You do not have to be near the ball or directly involved in the play.
Maybe not, that's a really old clip; I'm not sure it was illegal back then. The clip is black and white. NFL first started televising in color in 1965, and until 1962 it was legal to facemask the ball carrier. So if it happened between those dates it was illegal, but if the clip is from before 1962 (and we know it was before 1965) then it was legal.
If you have ever been in a car accident then you have a taste of being hit during a football game, some dont hurt that much, others you never chew food the same.......
Actually in basketball you can absolutely make hard contact on someone who is off ball, as for example when there are offside screens/picks which can knock a defender down legally to free their man. Same with hockey in different contexts. Don't know about soccer(football) though.
You DON'T GET IT! They DO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PROCESS. . .That play early in the video was legal because players are being BLOCKED. The player in red who was hit was trying to tackle the runner, so the runner's teammate BLOCKED that guy. . .Get it?
He's a threat to the person who has the ball. You're allowed to address that threat as long as it's a clear threat. Wonderful game. These aren't all legal either man. Just have the factor.
You can't actually hit somebody who doesn't have the ball, you can block them but not blindside them. The first clip you saw is an ejection level penalty.
So you know the clip where you said there's 5 people in the pile and the bodyslam someone yea thats 100% NOT legal anymore at least. It was back then about 10-15 yrs ago. And ic you really wanna react to some VICIOUS and mostly clean hits i saw him several times in this compilation. Watch the 6'5" 245lb Strong Saftey #31 for the Seattle Seahawks "Bam Bam" Kam Chancellor he would literally make you pay for entering his playground.
You misunderstand what's happening when someone without the ball is hit. Those are legal blocks. Those people being hit are defenders looking to tackle the ball carrier. The ball carriers teammates are protecting him by blocking potential threats to him gaining as many yards as possible. As long as the defender is being "hit" from the front, as in the chest, it's legal. You cannot however block in the back or what's called a blindside block which means hitting the defender in the opposite shoulder of which way his head is turned. Some of the hits in this are indeed illegal but they make for good highlights.
For perspective, when watching these videos you need to keep in mind that the AVERAGE NFL player is 6'2, 250lb, with an average 40 yard dash of around 4.5 seconds. The amount of force involved in these plays is equivalent to a medium-sized car accident.
A 55km/h car crash to be precise.
Yeah, and most don’t get injured

When he asked for the WWE Refs lol. So funny.
Little while after you saw a QB get hit and his helmet flew off and he had no hair... So it happens!

The last clip is called getting helicoptered. Happens occasionally
My favorite is the Rosencopter, personally

I have to say that getting slammed into the ground does WAY less damage than taking a full sprint tackle. Just trust me on this.
This basically just socially acceptable bullying and I love it
The huge guy in the one clip , was a 300 lb. Eighth grader. That was a middle school game. You can tell by the kids on the field.
I was to zoned in to the big kid that I didn't even notice

I thought the one he was talking about was the black and white footage of Night Train Lane
I swear, watching these reactions never gets old...
I think a couple of those guys left their heads on the field 😂
The power bomb is actually a perfect form tackle by industry standard
That's called a "double pickle flip". Nobody pulls it off very often. High difficulty. The way he took his leg was perfect.
We saw at least 1 person get a concussion in every HCTB hit. If they went back to leather caps we’d see a lot more old men with scalp scars, and a lot less young men with dementia
Coaches at every level will tell you, "Get up. Shake it off and get back in there." That's how we're raised.
You just gotta walk it off lol
The Reggie Bush hit always hurts me just watching. But the Jadeveon Clowney hit is still my fav. 6:48 for those that are curious.

We don`t mess around when we play FOOTBALL. No fake stuff like soccer.

Yhhh someone else mentioned that😂 I didn't notice the 1st time
0:43 He didn't have the ball, but he wanted the ball, and that must be punished
Now check out Larry Allen. He was a Offensive Lineman for Dallas. He was 6’3” and 330 lbs (~150kg). The man was an absolute beast.
I’ve heard many people say that they could play football. Watching it live on television makes it look much slower than it really is probably because the cameras are so far away.

You can tackle pretty much any player to keep them from interfering with your ball carrier. There are a few exceptions, of course, but generally anyone is fair game.
@7:07...yes, that's an incomplete pass. You have to have control of the ball for it to count as completed.
That's not correct. You can only TACKLE an opponent who has the ball, but you can BLOCK anybody to protect your guy if your team has the ball.
@@timalohaand sometimes a block can very much resemble a tackle
Well done. Best reaction I've seen to this.

Not gonna lie……The 2:07 mark had me literally laughing out loud 😅😅😅
That hit in the Vanderbilt vs Arkansas game is one of the dirtiest hits I've ever seen. Pretty sure that guy on the punt got suspended for that one
The ones getting hit that don't have the ball are getting hit to keep them away from the person with the ball so he doesn't get tackled.
I think that big dude was nicknamed the fridge -- commin thru lol
No, that was not the Fridge.
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭This is the best reaction.
Its a leagle hit man. Gotta understand in the South football is not just a sport its a way of life here. ❤❤❤❤ I love My Football ya'll. Roll Tide. ❤❤❤❤
This is pro, college, and even youth league clips.
We start em young here to take hits so that the fear of being hit won't stop them from playing.

American football players are built different. Watch some hardest high school football hits. Some of those young men are savage, too.
Many of these were legal, at the time.
No horsecollar tackles whereyou tackle (grab by the back of the pads around the neck)
No leading with the helmet
No hitting a defensless player (ie wr in the air, kicke/punter on their follow through motion)
No grabbing the face mask
No body slams
No blindside blocks
Those were done away with because of the injuries they caused
The current tackle under review is the "hip drop"
Or where the defender tackles from the back wraps his arms around the offensive player and becomes dead weight while dropping to the ground. Causing the defensive player's body to land on the offensive player's legs. Forcing the runners knee to bend inward, and their foot is relatively pointing outwards. Causing a lot of leg injuries.
However, you can put your shoulder down and drive through someone with every bit of force you can muster and you can just blast someone with a shoulder pad.
For perspective:
Just keep in mind the AVERAGE NFL player height and weight is 6'2 245 lbs (188 cm and 112 kg) and the AVERAGE 40 yard dash time is 4.48 seconds, so the newtons of force applied by a single average player is
1740.48N experiencing nearly the same G force astronauts experience during a space shuttle flight per large 2 player collisions
Always appreciate the sport lovers that break it down to a science 💯😂 Appreciate the analysis🤝🏿
That big huge guy running down the field with only a grammar school he just 12 years old. the 😂😂
As a former corner back and a safety for NYCT the targeting I use to do on QBs and the second WRs should have been illegal 😭
4:55 😂that was at my high school. I sat next to the kid teagor lit up in world history
This video does a great job of telling "y'all" that we've been doing this since forever and we do it as children. You'll never beat us at our own game
TBF, I thought that about basketball. But football hasn't caught on globally like basketball did.
Overkill? Nah that’s just another Sunday afternoon
Played football from midget all the way to college, I loved playing suicide man on kickoff, pick a random unlucky soul and head hunt and destroy them.
Grabbing a facemask is highly illegal. It would lead to a loss of down including to the one used, 15 yds, plus fine for the player over $10k, and suspension from the game plus any other games after a review board. This is because the player could suffer major injuries that could lead to permanent disability.
Not only are these guys huge and fast, but they can be quite nimble too. You should react to "Best Jukes In Football History" by Highlight Factory. Fair warning though, some of them are straight up disrespectful.
A couple fun facts for ya.
1: The clip where the guy gets dragged backwards by the face... Yea, they made that illegal to do. It's too dangerous.
2: The house running down the field (at least that's how big he is). His job is simple. Take ball, run 10 yards in the right direction. That is all.
3: You think sticking your arm out in front of you is a good thing. It's actually called a 'stiffarm', and it's illegal.
In fact, you'd probably be surprised how many things they CAN'T do.
Also, now that you've seen some solid hits, I get to tell you that the helmet technology is constantly getting better, leading to fewer and fewer long term brain injuries.
Man said a house yah knah🤣🏡
The second tackle was to keep the defender away from the runner with the ball.
I don't know why it's called the NFL s greatest hits. It's got NFL, college, highschool, and pewee football footage 😂
I used to play pick up games of tackle football in parking lots with my friends.
The part about American football a lot of first time viewers don’t get is that all of these guys are monsters. They’re huge. Check out pics of nfl guys standing next to average people.
Your I'm coming at you with cleats on made me laugh like a madman 😂😂😂. You get a subscribe.
😂Appreciate the sub 🤜🏿🤛🏿
In A Football, you can tackle someone to defend the qb or runner depending who has the ball to prevent them from being tackled, but not others.
Oh and obvipusly tackle the one with the ball
5:06 that's a middle school game with a giant 14 year old among normal sized kids
@3:00 those guys so much bigger than you it would be hulk smash lol Id pay to see you try to fight them lol
They’re not allowed to just attack anyone: they’re actually stopping the blockers from running along side the ball. So when they do tackle the person with the ball, they don’t have to worry about anyone else taking it.
I see🧐
Well, anyone one can be hit by anyone else on the field, with a couple of exceptions. You do not have to be near the ball or directly involved in the play.
What? Stopping the blockers? You’re not stopping the blockers. You stop the tacklers.
Blocking in NFL is a big thing that’s what makes NFL a big thing cuz bruh that means “I got your back bro”
If that’s Derrick Henry getting tackled 3 on 1 it’s just about the right amount!! lol
They call that face masking. And I’m sure he was flagged and penalized. 😂
Maybe not, that's a really old clip; I'm not sure it was illegal back then. The clip is black and white. NFL first started televising in color in 1965, and until 1962 it was legal to facemask the ball carrier. So if it happened between those dates it was illegal, but if the clip is from before 1962 (and we know it was before 1965) then it was legal.
The NFL owns a day of the week!
Big players. William "the fridge" Perry Chicago Bears #72 and Christian "the Nigerian Nightmare" Okaye #35 Kansas City Chiefs
Kenny Bell with the block!!
My question on that big guy was where did they find a uniform that big or is it just sprayed on?
If you have ever been in a car accident then you have a taste of being hit during a football game, some dont hurt that much, others you never chew food the same.......
Actually in basketball you can absolutely make hard contact on someone who is off ball, as for example when there are offside screens/picks which can knock a defender down legally to free their man. Same with hockey in different contexts. Don't know about soccer(football) though.
You DON'T GET IT! They DO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PROCESS. . .That play early in the video was legal because players are being BLOCKED. The player in red who was hit was trying to tackle the runner, so the runner's teammate BLOCKED that guy. . .Get it?
He's a threat to the person who has the ball. You're allowed to address that threat as long as it's a clear threat. Wonderful game. These aren't all legal either man. Just have the factor.
4:47 that is a tractor trailer in a world of cars.
Ain’t nobody wanting the ball after this
In School we would set other players up for a massive hit and news time
2 feet in the chest until you see the size of the defensive lineman
Football in Alabama is not just a game it's a way of life here.
You can't actually hit somebody who doesn't have the ball, you can block them but not blindside them. The first clip you saw is an ejection level penalty.
So you know the clip where you said there's 5 people in the pile and the bodyslam someone yea thats 100% NOT legal anymore at least. It was back then about 10-15 yrs ago. And ic you really wanna react to some VICIOUS and mostly clean hits i saw him several times in this compilation. Watch the 6'5" 245lb Strong Saftey #31 for the Seattle Seahawks "Bam Bam" Kam Chancellor he would literally make you pay for entering his playground.
You misunderstand what's happening when someone without the ball is hit. Those are legal blocks. Those people being hit are defenders looking to tackle the ball carrier. The ball carriers teammates are protecting him by blocking potential threats to him gaining as many yards as possible. As long as the defender is being "hit" from the front, as in the chest, it's legal. You cannot however block in the back or what's called a blindside block which means hitting the defender in the opposite shoulder of which way his head is turned. Some of the hits in this are indeed illegal but they make for good highlights.
You should watch the NFL IN bad weather video.
It's called blocking. You block your trammate from being tackled.
Try watching Ray Lewis’s career highlights. That was a one man wrecking machine.
