      +BatFanPlays Hey I'm from Germany. Two years ago i watched my first games of football starting with the NFC/AFC Championship and the following Superbowl in free tv and I got into it. In the offseason i informed myself about this sport, so I buyed the NFL gamepass for the next season, which imo is the best way for us europeans to watch the games. In Germany only 2 PayTV Channels are showing only few games a week. Due to contracts with the NFL they must show the matches live and must not rebroadcast them, resulting to the fact that the games are broadcasted in the middle of the night. With the gamepass I can make sure not to miss any games I am interested in and I can watch them on demand whenever I want.

      Yes. The five offensive lineman are also called the interior line. The side with the tightend is called the strong side.
      In a 4/3 defense the middle backer is called the Mike. The backer across from the tightend is call the Sam. And the backer without a opposite tightend is called the Will.
      The Strong Safety is opposite the Tightend. The Weak or Free Safety opposite the strong side.
      The defense can line up anyway the want except offside or crossing the line of scrimmage before the ball is snap.

    Thanks for the clear explanations. I've just become a football (well, Patriots) fan at 79 with this last Super Bowl Game (I was a tap dancer as a kid and football players were kind of the natural enemy). The way you describe the game and its rules makes it all much less overwhelming than I thought they would be. Now I can appreciate a little more than just whether the guy the quarterback throws the ball at catches it or not.

      M_To_The_B football is a sport that turns boys into men. Teaches, trust, teamwork, and most of all, taking accountability. Best believe if a coach is screaming at you, your teammates will be in a game time scenario if you miss your assignment. That’s all it is man, don’t take anything a coach says as negative, or to heart, they only wanna make you better and improve you. The games 90% mental and 10% physical, so keep gaining knowledge and work hard on and off the field. You’ll learn to love the game and find out it’s what will make or break you

      TheD4rkReaper Playing football over the course of my highschool years so far has been awesome! I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I was able to play. It taught me self confidence, patience, teamwork, and I learned more about myself. Sure, it’s scary as hell, but it’s definitely worth the experience and growth for you and your teammates. You will create a bond on and off the field because of this sport. I don’t mean to over exaggerate what it is, but I love it. It’s my favorite thing. It has helped me in so many ways. I start in football now, I’m a middle linebacker on defense and running-back on offense. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing when I started but if you have a great mindset and a great coach, you too will learn to be a great player and teammate. I wish the best of luck to you!

    Yes, good point, I did leave out the kicker. The kicker is not on the field most of the time because he is a special teams player, not on offense or defense. The next few videos are on kickoffs, they talk about what the kicker does.

      At that age you're probably going to be a running back if that's your size. But if you're not done growing you could grow into a bigger position later on.

    Since they are behind all of the other players on defense, safeties are the last line of defense to stop offensive players from gaining any more yards. They are typically really fast.

    That graphic of the O's is wrong, you have to have at least 7 offensive players on the line of scrimmage. That means 2 out of the 2 wide receivers and tight end have to be lined up on the line of scrimmage. Then the only offensive players on the line of scrimmage that're eligible receivers are the Ends. You can have more then 1 eligible receiver on each side of the field but other then the Ends everyone has to line up a few feet and those are called slot receivers.

    • @goodmaro
      @goodmaro 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      His diagram is confusing to a beginner, but if you had actual bodies there, the red circles on the ends MIGHT have their heads breaking the plane of the snapper's waist, so they might have the required 7 on the line. But if that's the case, then the red circle on the far right, if all the circles represent bodies the same way, would be in an illegal position, not being clearly on the line or in the backfield, because the closest OL, the end on that side, was cheated back far enough to overlap that flanker "vertically". It's sure not the way to teach newcomers!

    • @jonathanmitchell3545
      @jonathanmitchell3545 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      tackle? if so, there might be alot of running plays or short routes so playing outside linebacker might require good stamina because you'll be required to get RB and take receivers that come inside on short routes and always be aware of the offense, if you can do that you'll be able to make smart tackles, get picks, and even sacks if you can get in the backfield

    Hello, I’m thinking of either playing free safety or cornerback on high school next year. I’m around 5 foot 4, 110 pounds and I think I’m pretty fast and agile. Which position would you guys recommend me playing. And which position doesn’t really need to tackle that much and is overall an easier position to play.
