By the way, my theory on the origins of football that I told you earlier was wrong, haha. Football came from rugby.

So what an option is can be multiple things. You have a read option involving the quarterback and running back (one who takes the ball from qb and runs). What this means is the quarterback “reads” the outside defender. If he commits inside, the quarterback pulls the ball back out of the running backs arms and runs it himself, or if the defender goes more outside or waits for the quarterback, he completes the handoff and running back keeps it. You have and RPO (run pass option). Usually a receiver will motion from one side of the field to the other width wise during the cadence (words before snap) and the quarterback will either fake the handoff and take it himself, handoff to the running back to take, or quickly fake the handoff and throw it to that receiver on a little swing route (usually a swing route, where he just kind of runs horizontally slowly). The other type is an option route. This is a read made by the receiver based on what type of coverage, or what zone appears to be most open on the play. (If he can beat his man in man coverage, up to him. If it’s a zone coverage, he will switch the route to go towards the open part of the field). Hopefully that helps!

Love your easy going conversational style. I've recently gotten into football after years of avoiding it, and I like learning things casually in a no pressure environment like these videos. The counting and putting away at the end was a great and tingly way to end!

I never usually comment on videos but I love your videos and how you explain things. You make every topic interesting, even if it’s not something I’m really interested in.

This was so great! I love your suggestion of doing a video on the NCAA at 2:17! College football on its own could merit a whole video, but the NCAA and the divisional structure of college sports would make for a great video too. Thanks for making this!

The tackle box is the area in between the tackles on the offensive line. It is mostly talked abt while running the ball and on certain penalties like intentional grounding.

As someone from Europe and who doesnt have a clue about American football, this was so interesting to listen to!

I love these videos so much - they’re really relaxing during my exam season. Thanks for all your effort to make such great videos!!

This is honestly the best concept of ASMR type videos. Great videos!!!

i just happened upon your other nfl explanation video and it was super informative and relaxing ! i’ve always watched football with family but never understood it entirely, so thank you for taking the time out to explain to us :) also i love your super creative methods of showing us things ! like your football field drawing and the halo risk figures you used :D

A teams “endzone” is the one they are defending. So the offenses endzone is the one that they are attempting to play away from. So for my comment, a team committing offensive holding while the offensive lineman is within the endzone “behind” them, would result in a safety. Or an intentional grounding penalty by the quarterback while standing in the endzone. Sorry for the miscommunication lol

Hour long explaining video with props? Yes please!

I’m glad I find your channel. I love these types of explaining videos you are making!

Hi, I’m a football coach and writer. The positions are pretty easy. On offense, you have the Quarterback and running back in the backfield, behind the offensive line. The offensive line is comprised of the center, the left and right guards, and the left and right tackles. The left tackle is primarily the pass protecting tackle and the right tackle is often the better run blocker. Next out from the tackles comes the Tight End position, who is a hybrid between the offensive linemen and the next position out, the wide receivers. Some offenses run with positions like the wing back, who is like a running back who lines up off of the ball and next to the Tight End, and the Fullback, who is like a larger running back whose job is to block in the hole for the ball carrier. Defensively, you have levels. The first level is the defensive line, made up of the nose tackle and defensive tackle, who line up in the middle gaps of the offense and are often responsible for the run. Next is the defensive ends, who line up in B and/or C gap either inside, on, or outside the offensive tackle. The second level is the linebackers. This is made of the middle linebacker, sometimes called the “Mike,” who is the QB of the defense. A 3-4 defense will have 2 MLBs, the Mike for the strong side and the Will for the weak side. The outside backers are called the Stud for the strong side and the Zeke for the weak or off-ball side. These are hybrid players but they’re often pass rushers. The third level is made of the Corners, who can play outside or “slot,” which means they’re covering a Wide Receiver who lines up between the tight end and outside WR. The other position group is the safeties. Safeties are broken into two groups, free (weak side) safeties and strong (strong side) safeties. The weak side and strong side are determined by, often, which side the tight end lines up on or which side has more players. On special teams, you add Kickers, punters, holders (who catch and place the ball on field goals), and the long-snappers, who get the ball back 12-15 yards on special teams plays. The last couple of positions are the kickoff returner and punt returner, who are self explanatory. And gunners, who are the fast guys who run down the sideline on punts to cover the returner. Hope this helps!

I’m really glad I discovered your channel! Really appreciate the videos you made 😄

Over time, it is kinda hard to understand, but the rules (that I know) are that each team gets a possession if they kick a field goal the game continues unless a team scores a touchdown or the defense gets a Pick 6( that is an Interception that taken in to the opposing team endzone) or a safty but if both teams cant score on there own drives the game becomes sudden death where any point wins the game.

This is my new favorite youtube video, so entertaining

Once again, came for the ASMR and stayed for the cuteness.

Offsides can be called on the offense, but it was a rare occurrence. Only a centers hands can be placed in the neutral zone but if another offensive lineman does, then its offsides on the offense. It’s been called more often this year because of many teams copying the rugby style QB sneak where players behind the QB push them while the line creates a wedge. To gain more leverage, the lineman sometimes cheat forward, so the refs have been paying closer attention

Wow, I'm here watching a bunch of your channel videos and pop up a new video notification 💚💙

20:30 “green Joe here…Joe Green…hey that’s a football player” 😂 I appreciate you enthusiasti

If I ever met a woman this invested in football, she’s getting the ring no question. Jokes aside love the way you explain the basics football

Such a great ASMR channel! Sending support and happy new year from Ireland 🇮🇪 😊

When breaking the plane , the line you cross is called the Goal Line

The option route is a QB run with the option to pitch to the running back, who usually runs along side of or behind the QB. Options are also used to trick the edge rushers by waiting until the last second to hand the ball of to the running back, or fake and keep for a QB run.

Yes, it is legal for both instances to occur without penalty. QB hands off and fakes that he has it, defenders are allowed to pursue and basically disengage in their own once they've realized the QB doesn't have the ball. It usually happens within a matter of seconds, so it rarely happens where the QB would fake still having the ball and be tackled. At most, he's pushed aside.

about 57:00, if a receiver catches a punt in the inzone, runs out of the inzone, and then either runs or is pushed back into the inzone and downed there, that will count as a safety :)

Tackle box is the area between to two tackles it’s used to measure when the QB is in the area where they have to throw to a nearest receiver outside the tackle box you can throw it away wherever

Hello! I'm a bit of a lurker so I haven't commented before, but I love your videos for when I play video games or write essays. I'm currently a student at the University of Washington and this Monday I'm going to a watch party for the Finals game versus Michigan with all my friends so this perfect timing so I don't feel too silly.

You did great explaining things

Do you or anyone else here have channel recommendations for me that are similar to yours? Softly spoken, educational, no humans in focus (for the most part), etc? I watch ASMR mostly for background noise while I work and for vegging out in the afternoons and your channel is literally dream-like.

I learned everything about football from my mom 😁 She went to Notre Dame, and has had season tickets for decades now. You can find her yelling at the TV on any given weekend 😂 Love your channel- you’re an ASMR natural! Subbed….have a wonderful day! 👍

So basically I would just like to help so there are 5 linemen 3 wide Receivers (maybe like two on left one on right) then you have the tight end and if all three receivers are on the same side the tight end needs to be on the other side or if he isn’t it’s a penalty called illegal formation then there’s the Quarter back he has to snap the ball in a certain time or it’s a penalty called delay of game ( I hope this helps love the videos keep up the good work)

If I could make one "complaint" It seems you've enabled the HDR (high dynamic range" option when uploading this video. It overrides your own brightness settings to make the video as bright as possible for maximum colors. Not very conducive to ASMR. (I hope that last line didn't sound snippy 😭)

The Super Bowl is bid on in advance and the location is predetermined well before the season starts, the team whose home stadium it is can indeed get a “home” Super Bowl if they make it to the Super Bowl in that year. I think it has only happen 3-5 times in the modern NFL

Sleep is going to be amazing tonight💪🏻

Something fun to learn about is 7 on 7 . It is also football related

To answer your question at around 41:00, it depends on when the hit is. The penalty is roughing the passer. It gives the offense an automatic first down, and the team who committed the penalty lose 15 yards. If it's RIGHT after the qb hands the ball off, then it should be legal, but is also up to the discretion of the refs. It also depends on how hard the qb is hit, but that applies to any hit on a qb as the NFL has really tried to protect qb's in recent years. There is no rule against the qb pretending like he has the ball to deceive defenders. As a good example, there's a short 8 second clip of an excellent fake, and one of the latest hits on a qb ever in the NFL that gets flagged for roughing the passer. In this instance, the hit is completely illegal. I tried commenting once before with the link but I think KZfaq didn't like that because the comment didn't get posted. If you want to see it, search Jared Goff fakes out Darnell Taylor.

For the playoffs you may want to talk about previous Super Bowl champions and their team’s history since it’s coming up

So at 46:37 (the response to my comment on your last video), basically what he is saying is that in the same scenario you laid out (where an offense is backed up the field in the endzone) and an offensive player commits a penalty in the endzone, such as a holding, the result would be a safety for the defensive team. The cause for confusion was actually my fault - I was referring to the endzones incorrectly. A team's own endzone is the endzone they're trying to defend, so an offense scoring a touchdown would technically be scoring in the opposing team's (defense's) endzone, and an offense giving up a safety would be in their own endzone. The reply to my comment referred to the endzones correctly, and mine did not (although you displayed it correctly in the video). I mainly did this in haste so it wouldn't cause confusion - so that failed on my part clearly lol. This applies all the way up to the field. Anywhere past the 50 yard line leading into a respective team's endzone, that would be that team's "territory." So if you hear for example "The Giants are now in Green Bay territory", that means the Giants offense crossed the 50 yard line and are on their way to scoring in Green Bay's endzone.

You sold me with the Halo figures

THANK YOU FOR THIS UPLOAD! 😄💗🫶🏼

the quarterback always follows a list of 'options' called '(quarterback)-progression' -- an 'option-route' is any scheme in which the receiver instead of following a predetermined path has the ability to make a decision to alter the route based on the defense's response.

PLEASE do NBA!

The term for the football is the “laces” Great video!

Gonna need a video explaining the lore of Halo 😊

If on the dummy run they hit the Quarterback it is a 15 yard penalty called roughing the passer

A video on the collegiate conferences would be interesting, but I suspect it would be rather complex. To my knowledge, the conferences started off as being regional groups of college teams, but with today's popularity of college sports and the amount of money involved, many of the conferences have changed drastically - some of it makes no sense. For example, why is Louisville a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference? Kentucky sure ain't on the Atlantic Coast. Also, Stanford, SMU, and UC Berkeley will be joining the ACC. Why is there a school in Texas and 2 in California a part of the ATLANTIC Coast Conference? It never ceases to make me laugh.

2:49 those are laces on the football

10:00 when playing football in high school, whenever I got an offsides penalty called on me, it was always so embarrassing🤦🏿‍♂️

Behind the offense is the backfield behind the defense is usually the "secondary"

Now I get it.

I want a spinoff game of Halo Football now lol.

Smashing it , I may have missed it but, which team do you support 🦅🦅

Not sure if this is what you meant, but a video on acronyms would be cool!

The majority of the time, it is usually a neutral site game. But I believe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the only team to play in the superbowl they hosted. (Tom Brady Bucs)

Nice audible on the audible explanation

of all irrelevances, the WORST is it spends our days adjusting me THAT morph happens.

No for safteys it is your own end zone because you are in your own territory but once you get passed the 50 you are in the other teams territory

You should do the term Hat Trick

Around the 24:00 minute mark it would be 3rd and 3 not 3 and 3rd as in 3rd down and 3 yards to go.

Can you turn HDR off for future videos?

other side of the world: lets call it american football even though its not really football but they call it that way americans: ours is football yours is soccer lol

Could you do a video on the history of the NFL

It would be ‘3rd & 3’ for the downage instead of 3 & 3rd . Got alotta good info tho

Only the qb and middle linebacker have speakers in there helmets, not headsets as the nfl doesnt allow qbs to communicate back to there coaches

I'm going to start commenting on every video to get you to look into soccer, or ASSOCIATION football, as opposed to Gridiron Football. The positions on the field, the terms, the rules, the way the leagues are organized, the teams and the divisions! It's a can of worms!

Unless I missed it in a video, another term you should look up is Scorigami! People love following scorigami’s! Myself included!

It stands for national college athletic Association

Can you do explaining college football

Did you drink coffee before the recording of this video?

amazing content..............hopefully no one is colorblind , red-green colorblindness is the most common color loss

At 56 minutes you did not mispeak or read it wrong but it is just very hard to understand! When the defensive player gets the ball, he would pick it up on the one or close to it. The offense that lost the ball then tackles the defensive player that recovered it, behind wherever he recovered it ( his own end zone )

Did no one catch the “that’s what she said” ? 🤣🤣

The nfc west is one of the rare occasions where 3 teams might make it this year !

So an option run is when the QB has a choice between keeping the ball and handing it off to the back. A run-pass option is when the QB has the option to throw the ball or hand it off. An option route is a read route. The WR and QB have multiple routes called, and they communicate before the play about which coverage they’re seeing and the WR runs the route in the play call based on which coverage the defense runs. The option is almost always determined by a one-player read. On a read or speed option, the first one I described, the offense will often leave a defensive end unblocked and if he comes down the line to get the RB, the QB will keep it. If he stays home, the QB will hand it off. On the run-pass option (RPO), the QB will read if the off-ball LB steps inside to defend the run or if he bails for coverage and make a decision. Hope that answered the question.

Let’s go granny

Explaining NFL football while messing with an official “college” football

Footballs remind me of cupcake hostess

My kinda woman

Love your videos so much, the pump fake play you are talking about is called a draw. A draw is when you fake a pass play and hand it off to your running back who is waiting. And faking a handoff is called a play action play. That is when the QB fakes the run and passes the ball down field

41:24 not a penalty.

adorable 😊
